Today on Truth Social, Donald Trump – who continues to beliueve he is above the law – ranted, "All political prosecutions of your favorite president, me, must stop immediately. We are in the middle of an election, perhaps the most important election in the history of our country, and these radical left lunatic prosecutors and judges are not allowed to be doing this. This is election interference and must be immediately stopped. I should not have to go through any fake prosecutions before the election. This is communism and a threat to democracy."
As for being the "favorite president," well.......

The three main tactics in the Donald Trump playbook are "delay," "distract" and "divert." Trump continues to use these tactics because he knows they work and thereby he can remain above the law and above the Constitution, free to act with impunity.

Trump, very predictably, called the criminal case a "hoax," a "witch hunt" and "election interference," denounced the trial as "rigged" and "disgraceful" and calls himself a "political prisoner." The Daily News notes, "For another candidate in another time, a criminal conviction might doom a Presidential run, but Trump’s political career has endured through two impeachments, allegations of sexual abuse, investigations into everything from potential ties to Russia to plotting to overturn an election, and personally salacious storylines including the emergence of a recording in which he boasted about grabbing women’s genitals."

He will continue to insist he's innocent while denouncing every trial as rigged and every judge as crooked and corrupt – and Retrumplicans, of course, will side with Trump.

The orange-skinned parrot continues to squawk, "Witch hunt! Election interference! Witch hunt! Election interference! Awwkkk!" Here is what deranged, demented, delusional Donald wrote on his inaptly-named Truth Social site regarding Judge Merchan's decision to delay Trump's sentencing in the hush-money case:
"The Manhattan D.A. Witch Hunt has been postponed because everyone realizes that there was NO CASE. I DID NOTHING WRONG! It is a political attack against me by Comrade Kamala Harris and other Radical Left Opponents for purposes of Election Interference and is a case that should have never been brought. Nothing like this has ever happened in the United States of America. IT IS STRICTLY THIRD WORLD, BANANA REPUBLIC STUFF."

Donald Trump is nicknamed "Teflon Don" for a reason. Civil charges never stick to him. Criminal charges never stick to him. Trump no longfer faces any charges for spreading lies of a "rigged and stolen" election, attempting to overturn the results and inciting a deadly riot by ordering his blindly loyal supporters to "march to the Capitol and fight like hell." King Donald the First remains above the law and above the Constitution, free to say and do whatever he wants with impunity.

The Presidential Records Act of 1978 requires that all official records, letters and documents created by the President and Vice-President be turned over to the National Archives & Records Administration when the President leaves office. In January 2021, Donald Trump ignored the rule. He took 13,000 official records – many of them confidential, classified or top-secret – to Mar-a-Lago. "They're mine," he insisted. King Donald the First will not be prosecured. He is above the law. The Supreme Court, which Trump stacked with pro-Trump justices, made sure of that.

"Teflon Don" has always been pretty much above the law. He won't even be prosecuted or punished for inciting a deadly riot. And, thanks to a recent ruling by the pro-Trump Supreme Court, after he becomes King Donald the First on January 20, he will truly be untouchable, free to act with impunity. On December 5, 2023, Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity that he would not be a dictator "except for Day One." King Donald might be a dictator on every one of his 1,462 days in office. All we can do is wait and see.
Jack Smith’s report on January 6 and Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election is released
CNN, Jan 14 2025 11:39 AM EST
The evidence was there to convict Donald Trump. That’s the simple and powerful conclusion from former special counsel Jack Smith in his final report on Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 Presidential election culminating in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Smith’s 137-page report, released overnight less than one week before Trump is sworn in for a second term as President, is a full-throated justification of his investigation and defense against his myriad critics. And while he faced substantial political and legal headwinds – especially from the Supreme Court – Smith said his ultimate defeat was at the ballot box when Trump was reelected. With Trump about to be shielded from prosecution as the sitting President, per Justice Department policy, Smith wrote, it was all over.
