Trump's Bad Day

Today is Monday, March 20. The word around the campfire is that Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States, twice impeached and facing multiple court charges, could be arrested tomorrow. I don't have a crystal ball, but that's what they say.

Trump has faced a lot of legal problems, but the Big Four that come to my mind are:

  • Hush money payments to Stormy Daniels
  • Georgia election interference
  • Classified documents not returned
  • DOJ investigation into Jan. 6 riot (or "tour" if you're Tucker Carlson)
  • Okay, everyone makes a boo-boo now and then, but for a former U.S. President, Trump is setting records. Let's look into the details.

    The DC attorney general has been investigating Trump over the J6 riots. (Criminal investigation.)

    Eleven members of the US House are suing Trump, Giuliani, Oath Keepers and Proud Boys for conspiring to incite violence at the Capitol. (Civil action.)

    Seven Capitol police officers who were injured during the insurrection are accusing Trump and others of intentionally inciting the attack. (Civil action.)

    Manhattan prosecutors are investigating Trump and his company for potential financial and tax crimes, as well as insurance fraud. (Criminal investigation.)

    There is the Westchester golf course investigation, underreporting property values to reduce taxes. Letitia James, NY State Attorney, is investigating. (Criminal investigation.)

    The Washington DC attorney general is accusing Trump's 2017 inauguration committee of misusing assets to profit the Trump family. (Civil action.)

    Mary Trump, Donald Trump's niece, is suing him and his siblings for allegedly defrauding her out of inheritance money. (Civil action.)

    An anonymous group of plaintiffs accused Trump, three of his children and his company of misleading people to invest in bogus business opportunities. (Civil action.)

    The district attorney's office in Fulton county, Georgia, is investigating whether Trump interfered with the election by trying to pressure Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results.  (Criminal investigation.)

    Local voters in Detroit are suing Trump and the Republican National Committee for threatening to overturn the election results in Michigan. (Civil action.)

    E Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her at a New York department store in the 1990s. (Civil action.)

    Retired Lt Col Alexander Vindman, a former top Ukraine expert in the Trump administration who testified to Congress during Trump’s first impeachment, is suing Trump and several allies for allegedly retaliating against him. (Civil action.)

    Six protesters are suing Trump after his then head of security, Keith Schiller, allegedly assaulted them during a demonstration outside Trump Tower in 2015. (Civil action.)

    Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is accusing Trump and the US government of sending him back to prison as a retaliatory measure after Cohen wrote a tell-all memoir about his work for Trump. (Civil action.)

    So...

    I know when I write them down in a list like this, it sounds a bit bad for Trump. But let's consider these charges one by one.

    Suppose that Trump was having a bad day and decided to have (potentially) everyone in Congress murdered. Okay, that could happen to anyone, right? Haven't you ever had a bad day and wanted to kill your... entire family? Or, everyone at your workplace? And then you realized the gun store was closed and you were out of ammo and ... and ...

    On second thought, this is probably not helping Trump.

    Greetings from the healing land of nasal surgery -- what a ride --
    I surely have missed your blogs and low and behold I have wanted to get an update on my man Trump !!! So glad you came through.

    I think Trump is a mountain of a man - in every sense of the word. He has many enemies and I think the bible says if that's the case you might be a good person.

    Lots of these charges are trumped up --no pun intended !!

    How can one person be so disliked and so loved by so many others?

    How many politicians etc. have paid hush money for sexual issues? Many --I say --

    I love the commentary and how you've laid out all of Trump's issues !! You are truly a great writer and so organized to get every morsel cracked open for your readers.

    It's great to see your print on the page again !!! I've missed it !! But my mind is not changed.

    Have a blessed day and tell me if Spam (the food) is able to run your blood pressure sky high.

    Can your readers put in a request for your research skills? Ha

    All the best,

    Your loyal and faithful reader --no matter your bias !!

    Good morning!

    The problem with Trump is that so many people are addicted to him, no matter if he is good or bad, but for them he is always a great leader, an excellent person, a very good former president and they will continue feeding his sickness.

    Trump considers himself a powerful, wealthy, greedy, bad temper man and his ideas are for his own benefit. He doesn't listen to others and everything he does, is excellent and he can not allow mistakes, that is why he doesn't see his own.

    A person like this in my opinion, can no be the leader of a country like United States of America.

    This is a great topic. I like LL's comment but I'm not agree about all her thoughts.

    Congratulations, you did a deep research about Trump before you vented it. My question is, is he going to be detained or not??
