Trump says going to jail for gag order violation would be a 'great honor,’ compares himself to Mandela
President Joe Biden's reelection campaign lambasted Trump for comparing himself to Nelson Mandela.
Donald. I mean this from the bottom of my heart: Go fuck yourself.
Lock him up.
Then why fight it, Donnie?
Has he even really fought punishment over the gag order? They are just letting it go basically as far as I knew.
“They” wouldn’t be letting anything go unless he won a fight.
But that also depends on how you define “fight”, and those who oppose Trump have really struggled with that in trying to defeat him.
Look: fascism is soooo effective in undermining functional democracy because it, like, breaks democracy. Like, if democracy were a rules and bureaucracy machine that did good government (ideally), fascism works by identifying and exploiting its weak points in a systematic fashion. Mass media, systemic bureaucratics, advanced administration, logistics— all of this is ripe for disruption and takeover. And, unlike democracy, which functions on strict rules and ethics and is, thusly, slow to respond to attacks, fasism (esp neo- and ur-fascism) attacks from the outside at weak points rapidly with great agility, following few rules that encumber it.
It’s really explained better in this video:
No he hasn't, he just whines like a toddler on his social media site. Not to mention the "punishment" has been something dumb like a $5k fine.
Go for broke Donnie, compare yourself to MLK Jr next.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm pretty sure he has already done that.
Can Trump be a martyr too? Like any time soon?
MLK's words resonate because they meant something. Trump's popularity will drop as soon as he isn't around to stir the pot with his random word salad said in a way that gets people emotional.
I say let’s honor him.
If God existed, Trump would have woken up on Robben Island tomorrow morning.
My god, he is such a dipshit.
And people are actually voting for him? We are living in the movie Idiocracy. I want out.
well hitler was also briefly in jail and got out early before his second, successful coup attempt. so pls stay on your toes USA. be vigilant
I came to say this.
Hitler went to jail for a failed coup attempt less than a decade before coming to power.
Everything about this guy is Hitler.
Damn I am fucking ignorant as fuck on WWII I had no idea. I really don't remember them teaching it in school to even this extent.
And this is why they attack our schools and libraries and books. They want the voting public ignorant as possible so we are blind and easily manipulated. Those in power now (aka with wealth) won't have their kids and grandkids impacted, and that's about as far away from themselves they can care about.
This man wants to be imprisoned for his country.
Oblige him.
"I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela — It will be my GREAT HONOR,” the former president wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post attacking New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over Trump’s case.
If his campaign's aim is to actually get him into prison so that he can leverage a sense of victimhood, I gotta say that I am not at all convinced that that's actually going to work very well.
Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years. Come on donny, you can top that!
This sounds like Reflexive Control. They're testing the waters to set the groundwork for him being locked up. He wants it to not shock his supporters back into sanity.
In other words, he thinks he might actually end up in prison.
...finally
Geez, a narcissist compares himself to Mandela and Jesus Christ? Who would have thought.
I know a guy like Trump in real life. Also goes on message rants at 3 in the morning, is incapable of saying a name -any name- without adding "the great" or "the terrible", has called himself a god on many an occasion and continuously claims everyone loves him because he's so great and so nicr. He makes everyone's life miserable, including his children who literally states that they stay with him because they're afraid that if they don't, he will ruin their lives.
Two days without his orange makeup and combover kit and he'd probably lose it.
That’s beyond Mandela effect.
“Like me? Bitch, please.”
Mandela… if he where still around, probably.
To really be like Mandela, he needs to be brutalized by South African cops, right? I’ll donate real money to bring over 4-6 South African police to beat the fuck out of DJT for a good half hour in the name of authenticity.
Three weeks later....the former president is in his third consecutive chicken mcnugget diet protest. We have secrete tape showing followers sneaking in packets of sweet & sour as well as a variety of other things such at ketchup and jalapenos sauce.
Jalapeños? Man would choke on anything spicier than flour
compares himself to Mandela
At least I can now finally understand why Don has applying his makeup like black face
It’d be a great honor for all of us, turn yourself in don!
