You might have heard Donald Trump goes to be arrested this week. The individual saying that’s, in fact, the least credible individual on this total enterprise — the previous POTUS himself.
What we’ve been listening to is that Trump is prone to be indicted very quickly. (We’ve already mentioned why everybody thinks he’s lastly dealing with penalties for the Stormy Daniels hush cash fee HERE.) But so far as an arrest goes, with the entire SVU perp stroll with {the handcuffs} and all, the best way we perceive it that’s most unlikely to occur in any respect. Even if the grand jury indicts, the ex-Prez will get the wealthy individual remedy and be invited to make preparations for a authorized give up. He received’t even spend an hour in jail — he’ll simply hold doing his factor whereas the wheels of justice slowly grind. That’s what we’ve been made to grasp anyway.

But politically, he’s loving the concept of enjoying up the arrest. In an e-mail to supporters on Monday, he requested for assist. And this time he’s in search of greater than “11,000 votes” — he stated he needs “74 million patriots” to assist him by signing a petition to cease his arrest. the marketing campaign e-mail introduced:
“They’re trying to intimidate YOU and cancel out YOUR vote… which is why the Trump for President 2024 campaign is compiling millions and millions of petition signatures from Americans like you CONDEMNING these threats of a possible arrest.”
Hilariously, although, the hyperlink brings supporters to not a web page the place they signal a petition however the place they’re then requested to… you in all probability guessed it… give him cash! Fans can donate by hitting buttons from $24 to $3,300. There’s no stay petition wherever concerned, not a public checklist or something.
So should you have been questioning why Trump is enjoying up the concept of being arrested — once more one thing we’re listening to received’t occur in any respect — the reply is identical as most solutions in the case of Trump. Money.
These form of spam-like emails that unexpectedly deliver supporters to donation pages have been used earlier than by Trump, but additionally by different politicians on each sides of the aisle, together with Nancy Pelosi. And it’s gross each time. But attempting to boost marketing campaign cash in a sketchy method based mostly on a supposed arrest for marketing campaign finance violations is definitely a brand new one. No one stated Trump wasn’t humorous.

They’re coming for Trump, then for YOU. You know, should you raw-dog a pornstar and pay hush cash for it secretly, thus making a fraudulent, undisclosed financial contribution to your marketing campaign for president, yeah, you’re positively subsequent after Trump.
On a severe be aware, there have additionally been requires violence and for his supporters to make runs on banks in an try and implode the US economic system as a response to his arrest. Which sounds somewhat like terrorism now that we give it some thought… We simply hope the “74 million patriots” Trump wants notice that is simply in regards to the rule of legislation.
