Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

the "POTUS Trump NFT Collection" is ... objectively hideous, a spinning 3d plaque with spinning stars, a 3d flag, protruding text, and on the reverse, a 45 set atop a background of 45s, some of them upside-down, plus a tiny photo that's probably Trump but can you really tell? pic.twitter.com/ijClu9NTWm

There is nothing Donald Trump cannot turn cheap and gaudy.

The prospect of receiving payment while providing nothing of any value likely appeals to him

The value of that NFT is incredible, it’s huge. Everybody is saying it’s the greatest NFT of all time, which says a lot. The best people, who really know NFTs.

Breaking News: The prosecutors leading the Manhattan district attorney’s inquiry into Donald Trump have resigned. The D.A. is said to have doubts about the case. https://t.co/n6W30FopJw

Depressingly predictable. This fuckin' guy will never, ever face a single consequence.

did they give a reason??

The two prosecutors leading the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation into former President Donald J. Trump and his business practices abruptly resigned on Wednesday amid a monthlong pause in their presentation of evidence to a grand jury, according to people with knowledge of the matter, throwing the future of the high-stakes inquiry into serious doubt.

The prosecutors, Carey R. Dunne and Mark F. Pomerantz, submitted their resignations after the new Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, indicated to them that he had doubts about moving forward with a case against Mr. Trump, the people said.

Mr. Pomerantz confirmed in a brief interview that he had resigned, but declined to elaborate. Mr. Dunne declined to comment.

Good old fashioned bribery? His threats still carry weight in NYC? They really had nothing? Who knows. The crowing about this will be insufferable.

My reading is that the two prosecutors actually want to pursue it, but this new DA is a wet blanket

Aside from Cruz being too try hard at being a normie bro, WTF IS GOING ON WITH THAT PAINTING!?!?!?

trump has long had one of the tackiest sense of style in the celebrity culture. it's what makes is especially pathetic for his supporters.

i do wonder about the origin of the maga red hat and if they were, in fact, playing first dimensional chess by making it so awful

"Yes sir, that is correct, his exact instructions were indeed to 'paint me like one of your '80s movie villains trying to shut down the upstart tennis academy'".

Are they priming Walker for a political career? VP candidate?

Walker's running for US Senate (Warnock's seat) in Georgia.

A former football player who probably has CTE is a perfect Republican nominee.

Walker's son is a chasm of horribleness, I can't imagine hating myself that much.

classic

I am very obviously biased because not only do I know the Manhattan DA from college but he also might be my distant cousin, but there was more to what happened to the case than just "the Manhattan DA didn't want to pursue it":

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/05/nyregion/trump-investigation-manhattan-da-alvin-bragg.html

Mr. Bragg was not the only one to question the strength of the case, the interviews show. Late last year, three career prosecutors in the district attorney’s office opted to leave the investigation, uncomfortable with the speed at which it was proceeding and with what they maintained were gaps in the evidence. The tension spilled into the new administration, with some career prosecutors raising concerns directly to the new district attorney’s team.

Mr. Bragg, whose office is conducting the investigation along with lawyers working for New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, had not taken issue with Mr. Dunne and Mr. Pomerantz presenting evidence to the grand jury in his first days as district attorney. But as the weeks passed, he developed concerns about the challenge of showing Mr. Trump’s intent — a requirement for proving that he criminally falsified his business records — and about the risks of relying on the former president’s onetime fixer, Michael D. Cohen, as a key witness.

the risks of relying on the former president’s onetime fixer, Michael D. Cohen, as a key witness.

This is only a risk if you consider the possibility of **gasp** losing a high-profile case as a greater risk than than letting gross criminal misconduct, for which you have plentiful evidence, go unchallenged in court.

I think if you stopped to process what you were reading before acting like a sanctimonious prick, you would have realized that the assertion here is that proving gross criminal misconduct hinged largely on the testimony of one witness without solid corroborating evidence due to Trump's penchant for avoiding email communication

Yeah if it's not there and nobody flips, *shrug* -- seems like it IS there for Weisselberg, which is why he's hunkering down and taking the hit.

Not disagreeing with your take DJP and I gave money to Bragg’s campaign after you posted about him originally, but there is definitely a difference between prosecutors willingness prosecute a drug case without overwhelming evidence and a white collar case without overwhelming evidence. In the latter, there has been a real aversion the last 10-15 years to even the possibility of losing a high profile case, which has not been helpful.

so is this gonna be another thing where Trump gets off scot-free cuz he's so dumb you can't actually prove he was trying to break the law

basically yes

"challenged in court" and then not being convicted gives him a "See, I was proven innocent! The libs like to persecute me!" take.

We've heard that from him hundreds of times already so I wouldn't really say *this* gives him that

To his followers it would, "tried in court and found innocent" vs him just saying he's innocent.

due to Trump's penchant for avoiding email communication

Give the guy a break, he simply couldn't find that AOL installation disc he got in 2001

Plane carrying Donald Trump made emergency landing after engine failure following GOP donor speech in New Orleans

So close!

I'm torn because it would have been so great but 'engine failure plane crash into the ocean' is probably the most conspiracy theory ready way possible.

There are probably conspiracies circulating at this moment that he has just survived another failed assassination attempt

if there’s going to be a crash we really need to get more of those donors on that plane

He'll join JFK Jr., Paul Wellstone and the Big Bopper in the fake plane death secure location

also Stevie Ray Vaughn--helluva band!

Wellstone’s death still hurts.

one with an even more broken engine plz

Amazing detail is that the plane in question wasn't even Trump's big ol' Trumpy jet. That one has apparently been unused and in disrepair in a hangar for years. This was just a loaner.

you are not the owner of that jet, it is a loaner
I got money stacks as tall as you, that's just my persona

Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

Owner of a loaner jet

So the poor followers, struggling to make ends meet with inflation, they should buy the luxury jet - not the billionaire dude?

Grifters gonna grift

when you put it that way, and knowing how many donations probably pour in everytime he puts out a request like that, it really highlights the levels of stockholm syndrome a significant percentage of this country has with this fucker

lol classic Trump
