DONALD TRUMP SAID he “absolutely” plans to testify in the federal government’s case against him regarding classified documents he removed from the White House. “I’m allowed to do whatever I want … I’m allowed to do everything I did,” the former president told conservative podcast host Hugh Hewitt.
In an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that dropped Wednesday, the host asked Trump, “Did you direct anyone to move the boxes, Mr. President? Did you tell anyone to move the boxes?” referring to the boxes of more than 300 classified documents the federal government seized last year from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“I don’t talk about anything. You know why? Because I’m allowed to do whatever I want. I come under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump replied, while also taking a quick detour to bash Hewitt. “I’m not telling you. You know, every time I talk to you, ‘Oh, I have a breaking story.’ You don’t have any story. I come under the Presidential Records Act. I’m allowed to do everything I did.”
Chances that Donald Trump has read any of the Presidential Records Act, or understands what it is for: 0%
Chances that it says “Former presidents can just keep whatever they want, no biggie, what are you going to do, arrest them?”: Also 0%.
Ah fuck. You just know that when he does soon of main arteries slubbed chockful of hamburger fat that certain people will erect statues of him looking like superman (body included) standing hand in hand with jesus, they will build shirnes and organize trips to go there to pray and worship…
Good grief, I just wish that donnie Bin Laden could just be put in prison and have no access to media, whatsoever.
What a ridiculous and vainglorious so-called “man”. So tired of his cult members, too.
I will die not understanding the allegiance this man has among his followers.
I think it’s at least 90% racism and misogyny and the hope that they will get to unleash their worse selves on others. Hillary was right about them, and my dog, the huffing and puffing her correct statement created among the tone police/“liberal media” and of course his base that is even still having a fauxrage over it…while simultaneously proudly declaring themselves “deplorables” and playing the victim card over it.
That all sounds to me like he’s not trying to defend himself in court, that instead his entire plan is to win the presidency and stay there for life. All of these claims (I can do the thing, it’s totally fine believe me) amount to confessions that he did what he’s charged with, but are also appeals to his base that the courts are wrong and illegitimate.
That’s basically it, that’s his get-out-of-jail-free card (though the Georgia case complicates things somewhat), but he’s not the only one that needs for him to be back in office. Russia is also depending on him getting in to help their flailing war effort in Ukraine, because I’m sure one of his first actions will be to suspend whatever aid he can to the Ukrainians. China and other countries would also probably love to see him back in because of how completely stupid and ineffective he is at anything he does, not to mention he’s easily bought. America’s loss will be alot of other country’s gain.
