or are all T****'s defenses dependent on his claims that he can't be tried and or held accountable for whatever reasons and never ever that he didn't commit the acts? Perhaps in some people's minds it's true that he could shoot someone on 5th ave and get away with it. Worse, for that matter, should get away with it. I'm always perplexed that on criminal activity he is honest and doesn't deny committing the crime yet lies constantly about everything else. This really isn't something we should want our kids to look up to.
It is part of his ingrained narcissism. Unfortunately like the kid who steps a toe over the line, realises he got away with it and then keeps pushing boundaries until he has disappeared over the horizon.
I'm betting should, heaven forbid, he get elected, we'll buy a Southern White house for $3 billion. Golf course included.
Well, they have him on tape demanding that Georgia election officials find him an extra 11 thousand votes, so it's hard to pretend it didn't happen. Taken as a whole, we have seen that trump engaged in a two-month long attempt to overturn the election by various illegal means and was abetted by several accomplices that willingly acted on his behalf. His only viable tactic is endlessly playing our legal system to delay the process, hoping he can evade justice by running for office. I suspect that if he loses the election (assuming that repubs are stupid enough to nominate him) and is still facing these huge legal problems, he will flee the country rather than continue to delay the process. We should pass a law that says that anyone under indictment for a crime is barred from running for any office until the matter is resolved. The innocent would demand a speedy trial while the guilty would stall and continue to be barred from running. Once resolved one way or another, the person may run for office, and if people are stupid enough to vote for a convicted criminal, then they get what they deserve.
That's because he knows that if any of these cases EVEN GET TO an actual trial, he'll lose. So, that "immunity/untouchable" defense lines up with how he needs his "voters" to see him. There is a thread here on how a Jan 6th convicted "follower" has finally seen the light. It lines up perfectly with your question and why his defense is just for the court of public opinion. If he actually is hoping his public campaign (I'm sure he's day trading on every base...) of being above the law is going to work, remember, he just needs "one".
A the acts in question aren't in the first place illegal. They were a perfectly constitutional attempt to challenge an election as laid out in the constitution. That for J6. Documents case is equally bogus. And the two in New York one of which is civil and has no bearing on any thing if it is not overturned on appeal. And the other based on the novel theory calling payments to a lawyer legal fees in an NDA case is somehow Fraud.
The thing is we have a two tiered weaponized justice system where the left abuse their power for political gain. Fun tidbit (just to name one): Democrats are trying to keep Trump off ballots due to an amendment designed to stop civil war insurrectionists from being able to infiltrate the US government. First, they are trying to do it when Trump isn't even charged for convicted with insurrection, just accusations alone will do. Second, this amendment has never been used in the history of the United States to keep someone off the ballot, ever. Third, the fact is, so called civil war insurrectionists were indeed allowed to run, win, and serve in the US government as Senators, Congressmen, and even as state governors, etc. But, Trump must be stopped, even though he hasn't even been charged with insurrection or been found guilty of it.
