Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at The Wall Street Journal, attributing the regularity of his indictments to what he described as “radical left thugs.”
Radical Left Thugs
On social media, Trump wrote: “Could somebody please explain to Dan Henninger of The Wall Street Journal that the Democrats want anybody but Donald Trump to run against crooked Joe Biden or whoever they choose to run. This is why these radical left thugs indict me every 15 minutes.”
A Verbal Assault
The twice-impeached former president continued his verbal assault by suggesting that his opponents should focus on making his path to presidency smoother. He wrote “If they wanted to run against me, they would make my journey a joyous [and] beautiful one. Besides, I’m beating Biden badly in the polls.”
Trump Should Face Trial Before the Election
Ankush Khardori, a former federal prosecutor, cited a poll where a majority of respondents believed the trial should occur before the upcoming general election. Khardori emphasized that even a significant portion of independent voters – 63% – believed Trump should face trial before the election.
The 14th Amendment
Even legal scholars with conservative leanings have pointed out that, based on the 14th Amendment, Trump should be barred from running for president again. Wu, writing for The Daily Beast, pointed out that section 3 of the amendment in question “fits Donald J. Trump like a glove.”
Ways to Stop Trump
Wu discussed potential ways to keep Trump off the ballot. He wrote: “For starters, secretaries of state could simply decide he cannot be on the ballot. Secondly, citizens and states could challenge his presence on the ballot through the courts.”
A Statement From the Former President
Trump’s spokesperson released a statement. It read: “Joe Biden and the Democrats are scared to death because they see the polls showing President Trump winning in the general election. The lawyers who are pushing this political attack on President Trump are stretching the law beyond recognition. There is no legal basis for this effort except in the minds of those who are pushing it.”
Trump Doesn’t Care About You
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, warned the former president’s associates facing charges alongside him that they might be used as scapegoats by both Trump and the system itself. “Donald doesn’t care about you. He doesn’t care about you one bit. He will use you as the scapegoat and the system will use you as the scapegoat in order to get somebody,” he said.
A Criminal Mini-Mind
Given his legal situation, it’s seemingly impossible to avoid conversations about Trump on the internet and the debates seem to be eternal. Responding to the former president’s latest social media rant, one person wrote: “It took a minimum of two years to get the indictment rolling and he committed the crimes right out in the open, on tape, on video, while announcing he was going to commit crimes. Ain’t nothing easy. Wait, scratch that. One thing is easy. It is easy for right-wingers to completely ignore all evidence that their demigod is a criminal mini-mind.”
Crime Lord Trump
Trump’s attack on The Wall Street Journal was discussed far and wide. Reacting to his use of the term “radical left thugs,” one individual said: “Coming from a crime lord like Trump, that’s rich. He should know what a thug is since he has used many of them during his life.”
A Seditious, Demagogue, Carnival Barker
Others discussed the potential dangers the former president’s behavior could pose if he isn’t de-platformed. “They need to get the seditious, demagogue, carnival barker in prison before he riles up his half-wits into a civil war. He is deserving of prison and many other Republicans in government are as well,” one person said.
Actions Have Consequences
Some commenters claimed their children are better at taking responsibility for their actions than the former president. One such individual wrote: “He was indicted because he broke the law. He brought this all on himself but of course he can’t take responsibility for any of his actions. I have children who know if you do something wrong, you take responsibility and suffer the consequences.”
Trump vs. Hitler
Others drew comparisons to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. “Trump sounds more and more like Hitler every day. He is changing his followers’ beliefs and transforming them into [people who want him to] be a dictator. Who has Trump ever admired, loved, and envied? Dictators – that is who. It doesn’t take a psychologist to see that is what Trump wants to be.”
