Donald Trump continues his descent into complete and utter madness, spiraling out of control. Here's what he's posting. This is what corporate media and MAGA Republicans and right-wing propaganda media are normalizing. It's a post from Donald Trump, the leader of the Republican Party. He goes, send legions of angels to protect him, father, guard and guide his heart and mind, ease his cares and give him good rest. Give him your peace and wisdom. Cause his enemies to stumble and fall into confusion and panic. Give him energy and clarity. In Jesus' name, amen.
Starting point is 00:02:09 You are a convicted felon. A jury found you guilty on 34 felony counts in connection with hush money payments made to a porn star while your wife had just given birth. You were cheating on your wife with someone. You were cheating on that wife with someone. You were cheating on that someone with Stormy and you made hush money payments to both of the other women and then you falsified business records. A jury has found you guilty. Stop invoking religion. Stop with this crap. These are unhinged and deranged posts. Of course, they are also tied with the grift. There are
Starting point is 00:02:47 dozens of posts like this. I'm not going to show you all of them because there would just be a ton and they're repetitive of Donald Trump posting. It's not a prosecution. It's a persecution or political prisoner. Donate now and other ways to try to raise money off of the Mr. and Mrs. Magadonia. Then he posts this, my bookkeeper called a legal expense on the tiny description. It's interesting you use the word tiny because I think that's what Stormy said as well. My bookkeeper called a legal expense on the tiny description line of the ledger, a legal expense openly paid to my lawyer at the time, a fully accredited one. I was not involved in that designation, but what else would you have called it? A reimbursement.
Starting point is 00:03:37 That's what you would have called it. You would have called it a reimbursement in connection with the election to cover up something that was a campaign benefit to you as a reimbursement. You would have called it a reimbursement. Oh, wait, you did call it a reimbursement in your government ethics form back in 2018 after the fact or in court filings when you wanted to enforce the NDA. But then when you were labeling in a real time, it was a legal expense when you were trying to cover up what it was in connection with the 2016 election.
Starting point is 00:04:12 And by the way, just testify. You could have testified in this criminal trial. You told everybody you were going to testify. And now you're saying, oh, if I would have testified, they would have asked me about things in the past and they would have brought up whether the sun was coming up. And if I would have said the sun's not coming up, they could sue me for perjury. What in the world are you even talking about? You're too cowardly to testify. You were too cowardly to testify, just like you're too
Starting point is 00:04:38 cowardly to debate. And you ain't going to be debating Joe Biden, President Biden. I'm pretty clear about that. Donald Trump goes on to say, it was, in fact, a legal expense. The jury didn't think so. That is the so-called crime. Yeah, it is when you falsify business record. There are thousands of falsification business records cases brought to New York. It is a crime. On top of that, I wasn't allowed by the judge to use in any form the standard reliance on
Starting point is 00:05:05 counsel defense. Advice of counsel, exclamation point. I'm glad you learned that term. But if you want to assert an advice of counsel or reliance of counsel of defense, guess what, Donald? You've got to testify and waive attorney-client privilege. You have to basically admit a crime took place and say, yes, there was a falsification, but I relied on the advice of counsel such that I didn't have the requisite mens rea,
Starting point is 00:05:33 mental state to have the intent to commit the crime. But here you're actually saying in this same post that you said these are legitimate legal expenses. So what advice of counsel would that be when your claim was that it was a legitimate legal expense? Oh, and by the way, you didn't testify, nor did your lawyers even try to assert an advice of counsel defense. They tried to make up something that doesn't exist in the law. They go, yeah, we're not doing an advice or reliance of counsel defense because Donald Trump doesn't want to testify. Why don't you tell your followers the truth? They said, oh, we want to do something called
Starting point is 00:06:08 the presence of counsel defense. And Justice Mershon's like, that doesn't exist. There's no such thing called a presence of counsel defense. So no, I'm going to follow the law. Nice to have a judge follow the law, unlike people like Judge Eileen Cannon. Donald Trump then goes on to say, my lawyer at the time did virtually everything on the NDA, non-disclosure agreement, and I assumed that what he did was correct. I did nothing wrong. You signed the checks. You're the one who falsified the business records. You're the one who's on audio recordings. It's very clear. And frankly, there was nothing done wrong. Then why didn't you testify? NDAs are standard, commonly used, and legal. You can't falsify business records. The NDA has nothing to do
Starting point is 00:06:57 with the falsification of the business record, which is the crime. NDAs are standard, commonly used, and legal. By the way, Donald Trump uses NDAs for everything, including when his first wife, Ivana, made very serious accusations against him that were then published in a book. Trump has his own former wives and wives under NDAs, so it tells you a lot about his character there. I don't know. Should we go back, Donald, and talk about how the legions and the angels hereby give you the NDAs for your wives who accuse you of doing horrific things to them, who you then bury in your golf course in Bedminster and let the shrubs grow over it so you could get tax benefits? In any event, more whining from Donald Trump. I'm a political prisoner. Oh, and here it comes right here. Remember we told you what he was going to do when he went to that NASCAR race and he was randomly waving to the crowd so he could
Starting point is 00:07:57 pretend that the crowd at the Charlotte Raceway was there cheering him on after he got booed at the Libertarian Convention the day before. Remember that? Well, here's the post right on cue. He is so predictable. His propaganda moves are just like Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-un. It's like the authoritarian playbook. It's very basic. There he is acting like this big crowd is waving to him, which they are not. Let me show you the video just so you remember. We told you exactly how he was going to use that, right? So just wait for it. He's going to post the picture. And now I'm sure this makes him feel really good. Here, play this clip. More energy, less abdominal fat, and better health without having to totally restrict

Starting point is 00:10:08 By the way, can we compare that for a moment to what President Biden has been posting? On the other hand, you have President Biden posting, Donald Trump is threatening our democracy. First, he questioned our election system. Then he questioned our judicial system. And now you can stop him. Very well said right there. President Biden also posted no one is above the law. On the other hand, you have right wing media propagandists saying the same thing they say all the time, trying to scare people, right? They go, Donald Trump is convicted. The markets are going to crash. The markets are going to collapse, right? When in fact the stock market actually closed at the highest point ever. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped Friday for its best session of the year as investors wrapped up a
Starting point is 00:11:01 strong month after the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure came in largely around expectations. And President Biden addressed that. He goes, look, costs are still too high. But today's report shows progress with core inflation at its lowest since March 2021 and overall inflation down 60%. America has like the lowest inflation rate of any G7 nation. There's still a lot of work to be done. By the way, you want to trace the source of the inflation. Maybe it's because Donald Trump had the United States incur more debt by multiples than any administration ever before. But Donald Trump, who's bankrupted everything, who's Trump media lost $300 million last quarter and only earned $700,000 and bankrupted most of his other companies in the
Starting point is 00:11:54 past. Not sure he's exactly that tough guy he claims he is when it comes to the economy or actually running things. He's not a builder. He's a destroyer. But here's right-wing Fox saying, oh, the markets are going to collapse. And then I'll show you the clip of when the markets closed at the highest levels ever. Play this clip. If there is a conviction, what happens to markets tomorrow? Very simple. I think markets crash tomorrow if there's a conviction. If there's a conviction, you think there'll be a crash? I think the markets will do very badly. What are you talking about? A thousand point loss? I think we'll see at least a two percent drop. The Dow surged five hundred seventy five, five seventy five for its best day of twenty twenty four. Also, I want to
Starting point is 00:12:33 show you here as well a moment where President Biden invited the Kansas City chiefs to the White House. This was a great moment right here. Let me show you this moment. Play this clip. Welcome back to the White House. Super Bowl 58 champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. The first team in 20 years to win back to back. Winning back to back. I kind of like that. Here's another great clip from that press conference. Let's play it. Chiefs, but I, you know, I'd have Travis come up here, but God only knows what he'd say. Travis, come here.
Starting point is 00:13:20 It's all yours, pal. My fellow Americans. It's nice to see you all yet again. I'm not gonna lie, President Biden, they told me if I came up here, I'd get tased. I'm gonna go back to my spot. And then you had Peter Doocy and right wing media shouting at President Biden and saying, oh, so are you afraid that Trump will go after you? Watch President Biden's response to this.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Play the clip. Do you think this conviction helps Trump in the election? Are you worried that this could happen to you someday? Somebody comes up with some charges and tries to bring you into court after your term? And when Trump says you're just trying to bruise him, what do you say? Politically, politically.
Starting point is 00:14:07 He thinks you're pulling the strings behind the scenes, doing all this to help yourself. Such a great response there. And then compare that to Donald Trump's press conference. It wasn't even a press conference. Donald Trump's ranting and raving, rambling mess that was held earlier in the day on Friday, where Donald Trump said, I wanted to testify, but I just couldn't. Here, play this clip. I would have testified. I wanted to testify. The theory is you never testify because as soon as you testify, anybody, if it were George Washington, don't testify because
Starting point is 00:14:41 they'll get you on something that you said slightly wrong and then they sue you for perjury. But I didn't care about that. I wanted to. But the judge allowed them to go into everything that I was ever involved in, not this case, everything that I was ever involved in, which is a first. In other words, you could go into every single thing that I ever did. Was he a bad boy here? Was he a bad boy there? And my lawyer said, what do you need to go through? And all you wanted to do is testify simply on this case. Because I would have loved to have testified. To this day, I would have liked to have testified. But you would have been, you would have said something out of whack, like it was a beautiful sunny day and it was actually raining out. And I very much appreciate the big crowd of
Starting point is 00:15:24 people outside. That's incredible what's happening. Or this clip where Donald Trump talks about how he claims his witnesses were literally crucified, he said. He goes, literally crucified. Here, play this clip. As far as the trial itself, it was very unfair. We weren't allowed to use our election expert under any circumstances. You saw what happened to some of the witnesses that were on our side.
Starting point is 00:15:53 They were literally crucified by this man who looks like an angel, but he's really a devil. He looks so nice and soft. People say, oh, he seems like such a nice man. No, unless you saw him in action. And you saw that with a certain witness that went through hell. Okay. You had one witness, the MAGA lawyer, Robert Costello, who just broke down on the stand and was exposed lying over and over again. I like that in courts of law where justice matters, you can't play these right-wing propaganda games anymore, which finally is why here's what we're seeing today.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Trump supporters are trying to now dox jurors and post violent threats after Trump's conviction. On social media and web forums, users called for jurors, judges, and prosecutors to be killed after the former president was found guilty on 34 felony counts.
