An indicted Donald Trump is set to be arraigned in Manhattan On Tuesday afternoon on charges handed down by a Manhattan Grand Jury. This will be the first time a former President of the United States will be arraigned. Donald Trump is no stranger to firsts, however.
He is the only president in history to instigate a Coup d’état to hold onto power after he lost the presidential election, fair and square. He is still to face justice for those acts of sedition and treason.
He was the first to get indicted in history, and while we are on the subject of firsts, the mainstream media can now drop the term unprecedented. There is precedent for it now, so please stop already with the ‘this is unprecedented.’ Donald Trump made sure of that.
Trump loves to be first; in fact, he relishes the idea that he is constantly talked about in the media, even if the coverage is negative. To him, there is no such thing as bad publicity.
How else are we to define this guy who managed to get himself impeached twice in a single four-year — term, another first?
Look, one doesn’t have to be a clinical psychologist to understand that there is something fundamentally wrong with Trump.
If you set aside his hatred for Black people, Muslims, Mexicans, the poor, immigrants, and everyone, not a rich Caucasian willing to kiss his bulbous ass, I guess someone may find something redemptive about the guy.
The Racist zealots who bow down to him arguably believe that this guy is some Messiah sent to them by some god. I kid you not. At the same time, it is important to remember that this con artist could care less about them. They are only useful to him because they count numerically; their numbers are important for him to threaten the rest of the country with violence. He fundraises from them and pockets the money. I guess every idiot has other idiots under them.
So I heard that he would be fingerprinted at his arrangement but not photographed. (special privileges other Americans who allegedly break the laws are not allowed to have. Whether this is true or not, I cannot verify; I guess we will see; of course, the very rich and powerful are always known to have special privileges, usually old white men.
It will come as no surprise if he is arraigned without a mugshot.
Oh, don’t forget that the lying sycophants who drink at the bitter well of deceit and racist bigotry will tell you that America has one system of justice- you know, because they are smarter than you are, and you should not believe your own eyes.
The idea that a sitting president cannot be indicted for alleged crimes, a former president should not be prosecuted for alleged crimes, and a person running for the presidency should not be prosecuted for alleged crimes lays bare the idea of equal treatment under the laws. It is time that they understand we are not all fools.
The people who vote for this grabber of female genitalia who brags about it may be a god to them, but he isn’t one to the rest of us.
