I don’t know, honestly. I think there’s so much going on, everywhere all at once, like a circus ring. Desantis milk and water support, testing the wind direction by prosecutors, possible sync between charges, different kinds of pressure. The call for protests - bad plan? Will this indictment strengthen DT, or does he become vulnerable, soiled goods? Is his attorney even on his side? Then there is the big picture. The effect of the optics on public perception? What a chess match. Honestly, at this point I would not care to guess. Interesting how Desantis emphasised the porn star side, as if to remind voters of the sleaze factor. It’s going to be history making anyway.You think he’s going to jail over this?
I share your disappoinment. Low energy fake news Redcafe.Feck sake, I saw the title change and thought I'd be coming in here to see Trump perp walk videos.
Since when was hush money illegal? Not a trump fan but this is the dumbest charge I've ever heard of.
This shocks me to my core.
Think it was more he covered it up as business expenses
Surely Trump would have to fly into New York to present himself or risk the handcuffs at Mar-a-Lago? So we should know quite early when it is happening when he hops on Trump Force One.
Agh, that would make more sense!
they are alleging he used campaign finances to pay her off
which is obviously very illegal
Never change
Not a Trump fan but this is the dumbest post I’ve ever read.
What if instead of arresting trump, we simply give him a, red card?
I only skimmed the news. thought he was being charged simply for paying someone off. Didn't realise there was more to it.
Hush money isn't illegal? But as I've said I didn't know there was more to it.
I don’t get why he still has this following. I just saw an article about Ted Nugent calling for ‘trump fans to stay peaceful if he’s arrested’.
I sort of get the patriotic nature of getting behind whoever is in office, because it’s the president etc. But he isn’t anymore, he’s just some guy. Yet he’s apparently still got all these followers willing to mobilise and riot for him years on. It’s bizarre.

Any violence would be bad for Republicans in 2024 after what happened in 2021. I think most of them are by now secretly hoping Trump is arrested and somehow neutralized politically so his heir apparent DeSantis can win the nomination unimpeded.
Give it a chance, it's only just Tuesday in the US, if happens there will be videos, knowing how Trump operates he'll hold a press conference afterwards!
The only way for normal people to rationalize the following is relating it to a cult I have found. I mean look at the current issue he is about to be indicted for. Why does a supposed rich man need to pay off his porn star hookup with campaign or business expenses?
He thinks he is untouchable and can get away with it. He believes his following is so dumb they should pay for everything with money a lot of them can't afford. These same crazies who break into the capital "for him" who are going to jail for him. Who have been handing him cash hand over fist probably don't even have their own savings accounts. If they riot again because of this or his other upcoming more serious cases, he isnt going to bail them out. But, they really think they are fighting the good fight against the libs.
Ideally, the Manhattan DA case, which is probably the one with the least criminal exposure for Trump, should've come last. The fear is that the more serious cases will now back off a bit for fear of being perceived as piling on.

Anyone expecting him to be arrested to be arrested today has believed something Trump said, just saying
Could happen, broken clocks n all that.
Isn’t it because of the statute of limitation? Think I heard on Legal AF that there was a May deadline.
"USE DISCOUNT CODE ( GIFT ) for 30% off"
I think it's more of a test case, indicting a former President has never happened before so no one is quite sure what will happen, this is also the oldest case, it relates to events in 2016
The Georgia case looks to be coming soon, I suspect that in actually going to court this one might happen first, if any of them wait it'll be the Federal one
Indictment and prosecution is worse then assassination? Interesting take that.
I think the GA case is going to be fascinating. The GA legislature has/will pass a bill that lets them remove a local DA and replace him/her. I am 100% sure this was done to interfere with Fanni Willis’s case on Trump, but with the tide turning do they go through with it? If they don’t it might be the clearest sign that even the MAGA crew is trying to pivot.
Good point. The GA case is going to be significantly more damaging to Trump in terms of political credibility within the GOP.
That's why I said IfAnyone expecting him to be arrested to be arrested today has believed something Trump said, just saying

I think it will happen, maybe not today but this is Trump's way of turning it in to a circus
The Georgia case would put him in jail if found guilty I reckon
For us in the UK, what time is this likely to kick off?
No one seems to know if its even happening today. Its all based on Trump saying he expects to be arrested on Tuesday.
De Santis must be loving this. Trump is getting raked through the mud but De Santis himself doesn’t have to risk the ire of Republican voters by doing it himself. And I’d expect him to beat Biden, sadly.
The putting up of the barricades yesterday seemed like a pretty strong indication that something is happening I would imagine. Although that video could've been a video of anything in any context tbf.
