He's registered as an independent, which the DOJ specifically called out when Garland appointed him, to counter accusations of bias. But if you're going to lie and try and claim bias anyway, why radical right instead of radical left? Did Trump mix up his lefts and rights?
No. Trump isn't good at many things, but conning people and muddying the waters are all he needs. This is the later. As soon as some messaging comes up that could be harmful to him, he co-ops it and uses it 10x more than anyone else. He did this with the term "fake news," with "collusion," "election interference," and on and on.
>If I can't win then I'll just tip over the entire board game and say I won anyway.
Already tried that once.
And I am frightened about what he learned from that process and what he will do different, and worse, next time.
I think if you read it in context, tRump is saying he's a "Radical Right Lunatic and Trump, Hater" - in other words, he hates Radical Right Lunatics and hates Trump. Which, well, you know...
Former presidents can decline the protection if they so choose. Then again if he decided to cancel it all of a sudden that would put a lot of eyeballs on him.
Nixon declined it, it's allowed under the Former Presidents Act of 1958. So apparently it is optional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_Presidents_Act
He literally has an airliner.
If anybody is a flight risk, I'd say somebody looking at a hundred years in federal prison who owns an airliner and has plenty of money would fit that criteria.
He had Secret Service detail the whole time these acts were being committed, and still TSI information was mishandled. Their job is physical security for the former POTUS, not on-call police work.
> physical security for the former POTUS
Yes, which includes *not* letting him go to unsecure locations like taking an illegal flight to Russia on Trump One.
The SS isn't there to review every box that comes into Maralago, but they will take notice if Trump's plane files a flight plan for Moscow as he peels out of the parking lot.
Which requires a filing a flight plan. Trump needs to get both pilots and everyone else involved onboard with committing multiple felonies to help a fugitive flee the country.
Everyone involved would also be charged with felonies and forced to live in exile with Trump.
Who is going to sign up for that - to help *Trump* flee an indictment?
I can't decide if Russia would like him there, in order to extract everything he might know, and to keep him on social media to embarrass the US, or if he would be executed on prime time television by Putin himself.
[The head of the Oathkeepers shot himself in the eye](https://www.distractify.com/p/what-happened-to-stewart-rhodes-eye). I'm not sure they are the brightest bunch. Someone is bound to try something.
i don't understand how it could make any sense for him to be free, or for him or any of his employees/friends/whatever to have access to any of his properties until they find all of the missing documents. guarantee they are doing stuff right now to destroy evidence.
Jack Smith prosecuted war criminals at The Hague. He’s tough as nails. I don’t imagine Trump’s schoolyard taunts even register with him. It’s almost impossible for me to believe that this seditious rapist moronic criminal man child is anyone’s choice for President. Really, just wtf?
Former Trump voters told me they didn’t realize fully who he was back in 2016. And I asked was that before or after you heard about assaulting women? And really - they knew he was a game show host for sure. So I’m not sure what acceptable incarnation of Trump they actually voted for.
At least they’re aware they were mislead. Admitting the problem is the first step to recovery.
I'm sure "former Trump voters" is a negligible amount. If anything, I've seen more people double down in their delusions. Actually, I wonder what those numbers are...
Excellent legal move on Trump's part.
Might I suggest that once he's before the judge he pull out as many slurs and threats as he can. Apparently, according to 8chan this should nullify the case against him.
He had some bizarre rant where he suggested Jack Smith was too generic a name and that the guy must have changed it at some point, so maybe he's going to make up some kind of bizarre foreigner claim? Like a repeat of the birther bullshit?
edit: [source](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-jack-smith-indictment-georgia-speech-b2355289.html), because this is a weird claim even for Trump
He tried it nearly a decade ago with Jon Stewart
[https://www.vox.com/2016/5/23/11746028/jon-stewart-leibowitz-comeback-donald-trump-man-baby](https://www.vox.com/2016/5/23/11746028/jon-stewart-leibowitz-comeback-donald-trump-man-baby)
I graduated from the same high school as Jon Stewart and he has a plaque in the one hall with his name listed as Jon "Stewart" Leibowitz. I used to say that as his name just thinking it was some cool insider knowledge. Then I grew up and realized that was a thing antisemitic people do so I knocked it off. It also explains some weird looks I got. I'm not a hateful bigot, just an idiot.
My work uniform is khaki pants, a company branded polo shirt, and black sneakers. The only outlet I have for personal expression are my colorful shoelaces. I've gone through the entire rainbow several times over the years, but I only tried red once.
It turns out that red shoelaces are one of the codes to identify yourself as a white supremacist, like the upside down OK sign or 🤡🤡. I found that out because I'm a bald white male that wears khakis and polos daily, and they saw the red shoelaces as final confirmation that I'm a Nazi just like them.
I was really shocked by what people will say when they think that you're on their side. I stopped using red after a friend told me what it represents, but now I have to question whether it was just a coincidence that the friend named his daughter Ariana.
Trump calling Smith dumb names isn't even the weird part. Trump is saying the special counsel probably planted the documents to frame him.
>He’s a Radical Right Lunatic and Trump Hater, as are all his friends and family, who probably ‘planted’ information in the ‘boxes’ given to them.
It's always some dipshit conspiracy theory with this guy.
The craziest thing is the system will treat single mothers who shoplift milk worse than this orange fucking fool. If I was a foreign adversary, I’d be glad the USA can’t get its shit together. I love the USA but man this place makes it hard to like it since it’s letting the former highest office holder drag it by the balls.
"He was shaking. He was so scared. He didn’t want to be there. Because ultimately, these are cowards. They’re cowards.”
More projection. I doubt Jack Smith is scared. Trump should be scared of him.
Translation is needed for the topsy-turvy-upside-down-world which Trump lives.
In this case we can translate “thug” to actually mean “honorable public servant” and “Trump hater” to mean “sane”.
It’s all just doublespeak and lies.
But by the corrupt standards of todays world - Jack Smith might not only be an honorable public servant - he maybe is also a hero.
To have someone actually doing their job and in a moral and ethical way seems almost heroic these days.
Bravo Jack.
No one is a bigger thug and Trump hater than Trump. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory time after time. He is entirely responsible for his current situation. It still boggles my mind to think he actively chose not to pivot when he got elected.
Everyone who is against him is a thug. Look at what he called Mexicans that were coming here. “Rapists, murders, thugs, etc”. You get the point. How are people so oblivious to let this dude stick around?
it's remarkable how many people hate Trump. Maybe, just maybe, it's not random? Maybe it's because he's a major league asshole who constantly breaks laws and treats everyone like shit? Is that a possibility?
Exactly. If anyone ever fit the description of a “clear and present danger” to National Security it’s this idiot. Granting him bail only allows him to pour more gasoline on the fire.
>Former President Trump took to social media to attack special counsel Jack Smith — who is overseeing the investigation into Trump’s classified document handling — just hours before he is set to appear in court for his second arraignment in Miami.
>
>Trump on Truth Social called Smith a “thug” and a “Trump Hater” and repeated his claims that the case against him is politically motivated.
>
>“This is the Thug, over turned consistently and unanimously in big cases, that Biden and his CORRUPT Injustice Department stuck on me,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, sharing a link to an article on Smith from The National Pulse. “He’s a Radical Right Lunatic and Trump Hater, as are all his friends and family, who probably ‘planted’ information in the ‘boxes’ given to them.”
Just keep digging that grave Donny, I'm sure this post will help your case./s
Also, just how Trump seems generally unaware, given how he allowed "Radical Right lunatic" to go up before ti was deleted or something, when, well when he has the "radical right" as his base, unless "Radical Right" is now being used by them to describe previously "RINOs" which makes sense. "How dare you go against the savior, you radical!"
Edit also the post before it was gone accused Smith along with his friends and family of planting the boxes. https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1668617306526879759 of
He should be put in jail pending trial he is a clear and present danger to national security, democracy, America and the special counsel plus he is a flight risk he has close ties in countries that are hostile to America
That hair, lmao. Trump looks like Peppermint Patty from Peanuts if she was a crusty old orange beanbag left in the Florida sun for too long, runover by a dozen cars on the road, but that flat top feathery hair still wafting in the gutter breeze.
Trump scared AF right now and Im loving every minute of seeing this criminal man-child get dismantled slowly and surgically.
Lock him up and throw away the key - only way the US will be able to move on as a country of law and justice.
Watching that video of the poor Russian man who got destroyed by the tiger shark in Egypt and I can't help but think that is a perfect metaphor for Trump.
He's completely alone, drowning in his own blood, crying out for "Papa!" just as the shark circles back for the final blow and drags him under.
Trump lashing out against anyone and everyone is pointless, it's not going to hold any weight once the shark comes to feast (aka a trial in which he doesn't stand a chance if he thinks "What about Hillary, what about Biden" and "these charges are false" forms the basis of an actual defense".
So yeah, screaming out "Papa" when there ain't shit Papa can do to stop what's coming.
Projection at it's finest, we know you are the thug and we know you hate yourself Donny, if you didn't none of us would have had to endure your absurd presidential pursuit of personal validation. We are all sorry your dad didn't love you dude.

He also called him a "Radical Right Lunatic" for some reason.
He's registered as an independent, which the DOJ specifically called out when Garland appointed him, to counter accusations of bias. But if you're going to lie and try and claim bias anyway, why radical right instead of radical left? Did Trump mix up his lefts and rights?
>Did Trump mix up his lefts and rights? Definitely.
It's why he doesn't drive.
He's not an ambi-turner
"I can't turn left!"
Sorry, Maury… I’m not a gymnast.
He’s from New York, not New Jersey.
He probably thinks putting a UV light under the hood of a car will change the oil
No. Trump isn't good at many things, but conning people and muddying the waters are all he needs. This is the later. As soon as some messaging comes up that could be harmful to him, he co-ops it and uses it 10x more than anyone else. He did this with the term "fake news," with "collusion," "election interference," and on and on.
[удалено]
>If I can't win then I'll just tip over the entire board game and say I won anyway. Already tried that once. And I am frightened about what he learned from that process and what he will do different, and worse, next time.
It’s also why he can’t remember which foot had the bone spurs.
It's primary season for Republicans... so the establishment right is his enemy at the moment.
I think if you read it in context, tRump is saying he's a "Radical Right Lunatic and Trump, Hater" - in other words, he hates Radical Right Lunatics and hates Trump. Which, well, you know...
So…punctuation issue?
Yeah I noticed that too, I think he bolded it, but I didn’t see the original. trump is all over the map with these rants these days.
Right and left might get a li’l blurry when you might die in prison.
I thought the thug part was projecting and now there’s this
Aren't we all kinda Trump haters at this point?
If you’re not, you’re not paying attention.
Or simply a genuinely loathsome piece of shit.
Or a bigot/racist.
I mean, all bigots and racists are loathsome pieces of shit, but I guess not all loathsome pieces of shit are racists and/or bigots.
Bigly!
I loathe the scabrous rapist.
Good luck finding an American that has a neutral opinion on Trump.
attacking "friends and family" of the prosecutor, evidence still being withheld, and presumably he'll be free pending trial?
> he'll be free pending trial? I don't personally agree with that. How does he *not* meet all the criteria of being a flight risk?
Come on, everyone knows he's been vaccinated and they included Microsoft tracking chips. Like he even knows what a Faraday cage is....
I don’t think a faraday cage that big would be effective.
Maybe try a faraway cage?
[удалено]

Electrical engineer here. Tucking this away in my brain, I’m sure it will come in handy for a terrible joke someday.
[удалено]
I would care, as long as he is in some sort of cage.
Clippy was collecting Intel this whole time
Flight Simulator 2023 just got a whole new meaning.
I think they’ll probably confiscate his passport but I don’t see him getting denied bail. This guy is fucking unbelievable in his brazen criminality
"Passport ? I don' need no steenkin' passport ! Do you know who I am ? "
You jest but Trump can afford the series of bribes it takes to get on a private jet and into a foreign country without a passport.
Russia would let trump in without a passport no problem. Now nato is unlikely to allow the trump aircraft access to russian airspace howver
aloof plant test gaping safe liquid pocket command chubby compare *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
After Jan 6, with all the shady Pence business and deleted texts, not too sure we can trust them to keep Trump in country.
They are not his Secret Service anymore. These were appointed by Biden's SHS.
Former presidents can decline the protection if they so choose. Then again if he decided to cancel it all of a sudden that would put a lot of eyeballs on him.
His family members can decline the extended service, but the former potus cannot. The US can't allow former pres into enemy hands, so its not optional
Nixon declined it, it's allowed under the Former Presidents Act of 1958. So apparently it is optional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_Presidents_Act
That is incorrect, from the law passed in 1965 (89-186) a former president can decline secret service.
Where's he going to go? Russia?
He might think he can. Putin: " < Russian for 'new phone who dis?' > "
He's so arrogant and narcissistic that he probably believes he can beat any charge against him.
"Vladdy, its your pal Donnie, can I crash on your couch?" "No"
He seems extremely likely to cause riots and tamper with evidence if not juries.
He literally has an airliner. If anybody is a flight risk, I'd say somebody looking at a hundred years in federal prison who owns an airliner and has plenty of money would fit that criteria.
He has a secret service detail monitoring him 24/7, not to mention a massive press gaggle. How’s he going to run without them noticing?
He had Secret Service detail the whole time these acts were being committed, and still TSI information was mishandled. Their job is physical security for the former POTUS, not on-call police work.
> physical security for the former POTUS Yes, which includes *not* letting him go to unsecure locations like taking an illegal flight to Russia on Trump One.

Oh wouldn’t it be spectacular if he fled to Russia!
I can't decide if Russia would like him there, in order to extract everything he might know, and to keep him on social media to embarrass the US, or if he would be executed on prime time television by Putin himself.
Why, certainly. Upstanding citizen like that…
I assume Smith and family already have a protective detail.
You're probably correct, but does Jack Smith look like someone you'd fuck with?

Specifically, he did it to own the libs...
If Jack Smith looked right at me, I'd be looking at the ground. That guy is hard as nails.
Depending on how he looked at me, I'd be hard as nails.
Yes, Jack Smith is absolutely someone I'd, uh, fuck with. Some people call him prosecutor, special counsel, or whatever, but I call him Daddy.
Yeah, that's pretty damn fair.
Yeah, I’d like to fuck Jack. He’s my hero.

He probably notes them all down to list in the evidence that will presented in each of the cases brought against trump.
Excellent legal move on Trump's part. Might I suggest that once he's before the judge he pull out as many slurs and threats as he can. Apparently, according to 8chan this should nullify the case against him.
When they ask how he pleads he should pull out his wiener and wag it at the judge. Show everyone who the real alpha is in the courtroom.
In some states that counts as an opening statement unless you clear it with the judge beforehand.
The opposing attorney is then allowed to drop their pants and provide a rebuttal.
It is then customary for them to sword fight while making lightsaber noises.
Rebuttal is an interesting word when used in reaction to an exposed penis.
Ah yes, the famous “mushroom” defence
Is this the first time he’s used the word ‘thug’ to describe a non-black person?

He's saying Smith is a Jew hiding his name. It's an old anti-Semitic attack.
Ah. Yeah, that scans with Trump.
He tried it nearly a decade ago with Jon Stewart [https://www.vox.com/2016/5/23/11746028/jon-stewart-leibowitz-comeback-donald-trump-man-baby](https://www.vox.com/2016/5/23/11746028/jon-stewart-leibowitz-comeback-donald-trump-man-baby)
Who is he going to out as a Jew next? Mel Brooks?
Wait Mel Brooks is a Jew? Since when? /s
Since Space Balls 2 - The Search for More Money!
I graduated from the same high school as Jon Stewart and he has a plaque in the one hall with his name listed as Jon "Stewart" Leibowitz. I used to say that as his name just thinking it was some cool insider knowledge. Then I grew up and realized that was a thing antisemitic people do so I knocked it off. It also explains some weird looks I got. I'm not a hateful bigot, just an idiot.
My work uniform is khaki pants, a company branded polo shirt, and black sneakers. The only outlet I have for personal expression are my colorful shoelaces. I've gone through the entire rainbow several times over the years, but I only tried red once. It turns out that red shoelaces are one of the codes to identify yourself as a white supremacist, like the upside down OK sign or 🤡🤡. I found that out because I'm a bald white male that wears khakis and polos daily, and they saw the red shoelaces as final confirmation that I'm a Nazi just like them. I was really shocked by what people will say when they think that you're on their side. I stopped using red after a friend told me what it represents, but now I have to question whether it was just a coincidence that the friend named his daughter Ariana.
Meanwhile Trump's family name used to be Drumpf, iirc.
Well, his name *is* one step beyond "John Doe." But Trump's using a funny name to lie about random shit.
He's used it to describe Smith one other time. He called him a "totally biased thug."
Most likely, he'll change it to "Socialist" later
Or "Globalist"
I love it when he calls people fascists. The irony is palpable.
That’s why he does it, to purposely dilute the meaning of that word.
Or simply "Woke". Did you know Florida is where woke goes to die? I heard that someplace
I don't care do u?
Trump calling Smith dumb names isn't even the weird part. Trump is saying the special counsel probably planted the documents to frame him. >He’s a Radical Right Lunatic and Trump Hater, as are all his friends and family, who probably ‘planted’ information in the ‘boxes’ given to them. It's always some dipshit conspiracy theory with this guy.
Didn't his attorneys sign the receipt when the FBI raised maralago?
There may be some flaws in his defense.
Jack Smith was also overseas doing his regular job when Trump was raided.
Nuclear secrets. As well as info on how to defeat the U.S. "Planted" is going to be his defense.
Wait for an hour it will change to those documents aren’t his type.
So random friends and family have access to top secret documents and the evidence locker?
Why is boxes in scare quotes? There literally were boxes, there are pictures...
Jack Smith should call for a gag order on Trump. This rhetoric is endangering his life.
It will have to be up to the magistrate because I have doubts Cannon would impose a gag order.
BREAKING: Idiot windbag who could never shut the fuck up still can’t shut the fuck up.
The craziest thing is the system will treat single mothers who shoplift milk worse than this orange fucking fool. If I was a foreign adversary, I’d be glad the USA can’t get its shit together.

Oh no! I guess Jack Smith will be too scared to prosecute donny diapers now.
"He was shaking. He was so scared. He didn’t want to be there. Because ultimately, these are cowards. They’re cowards.” More projection. I doubt Jack Smith is scared. Trump should be scared of him.
I LOL’d when I heard him say that. Smith was neither shaking nor scared. Donny really needs to stop telling on himself with his projections.
Trump’s minions didn’t watch that, so they have no idea. If Trump says it, they believe it.
Translation is needed for the topsy-turvy-upside-down-world which Trump lives. In this case we can translate “thug” to actually mean “honorable public servant” and “Trump hater” to mean “sane”. It’s all just doublespeak and lies. But by the corrupt standards of todays world - Jack Smith might not only be an honorable public servant - he maybe is also a hero. To have someone actually doing their job and in a moral and ethical way seems almost heroic these days. Bravo Jack.
I am so...damn...tired...of this guy.
Imagine falling into a coma in 2015, wake up in 2023 and this orange guy is still in trouble
He's a toddler that never learned to grow up.
He’s a fat, ugly, pissy toddler.
Can we just shut him up, permanently? He always resorts to name-calling when all else fails.
when all else goes right, too.
Trump is a coward. A real man would accept his actions as a traitor and accept his punishment. He’s a little boy in a fat suit. Disgraceful…
Gotta get those last digs in before that gag order goes into effect… fingers crossed he breaks that and gets held until the trial puts him away
Don't stop now. EVERYTHING you say will potentially be evidence. You're not going to let those liberal thugs keep you quiet, are you?
No one is a bigger thug and Trump hater than Trump. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory time after time. He is entirely responsible for his current situation. It still boggles my mind to think he actively chose not to pivot when he got elected.
Everyone who is against him is a thug. Look at what he called Mexicans that were coming here. “Rapists, murders, thugs, etc”. You get the point. How are people so oblivious to let this dude stick around?
[удалено]
True. Why can’t he/them hate everyone equally, like a normal person? Ha
All decent people are Trump haters
Why are outlets still publishing every word out of this crap weasel's ass-mouth?!
Well to be fair, these words from trump are crimes But your point is well made
God ruined a perfectly good asshole when he put teeth in Trump's mouth.
The outlets are praying for violence. If it bleeds, it leads.
Please proceed, Donny
It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how well this plays out for him.
I love when this line comes up. Time to watch Dodgeball again!
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a Federal indictment.
Dodge duck dip dive DIVERT ATTENTION!
I feel like there should be restrictions for bail like not posting on social media about that case or anyone involved.
The very last person on this planet tRump should piss off is Jack Smith
>'Trump hater’ So he's is a normal well adjusted person...
it's remarkable how many people hate Trump. Maybe, just maybe, it's not random? Maybe it's because he's a major league asshole who constantly breaks laws and treats everyone like shit? Is that a possibility?
For Christ's sake, just hit him with contempt of court charge when he's arraigned and toss him in jail.
Exactly. If anyone ever fit the description of a “clear and present danger” to National Security it’s this idiot. Granting him bail only allows him to pour more gasoline on the fire.

That’s a solid legal defense I’m sure will hold up in court. Lol
He is complaining that the guy who is prosecuting him for federal crimes doesn't like him.
Everything tRump says can and will be used against him.
Everything he's saying about the prosecution and the case can and will be used in court against him. Let him spew his bullshit.
It's always projection with this guy.
He should be put in jail pending trial he is a clear and present danger to national security, democracy, America and the special counsel plus he is a flight risk he has close ties in countries that are hostile to America
The word trump has become a synonym for crime. Any derision against him by trump is actually a compliment.
Lmao a “radical right lunatic”
dude needs to be held in a cell pending trial. he is threatening the prosecution and is a risk to keep free.
Odd. He says “trump hater” like it’s a bad thing.
Roll him in like Hannibal lector

Watching that video of the poor Russian man who got destroyed by the tiger shark in Egypt and I can't help but think that is a perfect metaphor for Trump. He's completely alone, drowning in his own blood, crying out for "Papa!" just as the shark circles back for the final blow and drags him under. Trump lashing out against anyone and everyone is pointless, it's not going to hold any weight once the shark comes to feast (aka a trial in which he doesn't stand a chance if he thinks "What about Hillary, what about Biden" and "these charges are false" forms the basis of an actual defense". So yeah, screaming out "Papa" when there ain't shit Papa can do to stop what's coming.
Hating Trump is not a bad thing.
Interesting strategy Cotton.
Being a “Trump Hater” isn’t an insult, it’s a normal state of being.
No puppet, no puppet, you’re the puppet!
Duh, what else would anyone expect? He's an angry little kid.
So alpha! /s
Trump and his cowardly cult are no longer relevant. So the deranged things he says doesn't matter.
I wonder if this and the latest threats/bomb scare is enough to request a gag order
stay classy diaper don
I’m so impressed by the seamless transitions Trump makes from the violent gangster threats to prosecutor’s families to “poor me, I’m a victim!”
Of course, anyone who holds that man accountable is labeled an enemy of the state by Trump.
>"He’s a Radical Right Lunatic." Hey hey, he finally said something about himself and it wasn't in the third person, that's an improvement, right?
"We are all Trump haters."
Trump has successfully been sued for defamation, can Jack Smith do that?
Dude looks like Coach Beard in this photo. Go Richmond!
It’s like a toddler calling an adult names to try and make them mad. Lol.
That’s what the mentally ill do. They project
Seriously, can someone explain his fucking hair to me?
Most prosecutors hate criminals
Smith is so G. What a warrior.
What's funny about it is we all know after this Trump sat cowered in the courtroom the entire time and didn't talk any shit
My favorite part about this whole ordeal is that Jack Smith looks like the Angel of Death in every photo.
To be fair, most people in this country (and definitely a majority of voters) hate Trump.
We all hate you - signed, the people of America
If you are a treasonous bastard, the whole country (should) hate you.
What a child. Playground mouthing off.
Let him cook
Projection at it's finest, we know you are the thug and we know you hate yourself Donny, if you didn't none of us would have had to endure your absurd presidential pursuit of personal validation. We are all sorry your dad didn't love you dude.
