As much as I want to be pleased that “Oh, he admitted it, this should be a slam dunk case,” I feel a bit like John Oliver with the “we got him” button—sure, he went on national TV on one of the most-watched networks and more or less confessed.
Just like any of the other awful things he’s done his entire life and gotten away with: first because he was born with a gilded spoon into the lap of privilege, and now because for some reason a significant chunk of our country apparently wants a buffoon dictator and follows his cult—aided by one of our major political parties deciding to make him into an even bigger cult figure because they care more about profit and power than the future of the nation and the people they’re elected to serve.

HAHAHAHAHA OMG!!!
Even me being a foreign person, Mr. Trump, that right there is what you call a slam dunk confession!

This isn’t stupid though. He got away with it to the point where he can now try again. He organized (more or less) a coup and faced no serious repercussions. The result of this is self-evident: he is now free to try again and the party he leads is now openly planning to destroy democracy in the USA. Note that these people were always like this; they just don’t act openly unless they know there will be no repercussions. They have no morals so they go exactly as far as they think they can afford to go. The fact that they’re here now doing this means the rule of law is already dead.

He just admitted it because he knows no one will touch him. That’s how ineffectual the US justice system is

Imagine if he had taken the stand during his trial like he said he was willing to do

Didn’t he just admit to getting indicted for it and say it’s legal to, but not necessarily say he did it? I hope I’m wrong, but that’s how it reads to me.
Hear me out.
“What were you indicted for?”
“Election interference. “
“Did you do it?”
“No. “

The guy has never faced consequences in his life. Only the promise of eventual consequences that he can always postpone. I don’t really know what anyone is expecting of him.

Well to be fair….when there are seemingly zero ramifications to these illegalities then, why not?

And…still nothing will happen to him. The US legal system has lost all credibility due to this buffoon. The next real President and Congress’ job should be judicial reform.

I don’t think it’s possible to measure the Trump level of stupidity. No-one can say ‘this is your how stupid you are’. If you’re actually asking the question ‘Are you seriously this stupid?’ to Donald Trump, prepare to look quite a bit lower, don’t expect to land anywhere. I don’t think anyone has been down that far before. Not sure you’ll make it back either.

He got away with his ridiculous statements in the past, never understood why, but now people calling him out. Is it just because there is a new shiny option. It’s like small children at Xmas being diverted by the new shiny toy. I dont mean that in a derogatory way but more as an observation that is how the world has evolved.

He’ll never face legal consequences, ever. This anti-American asshole is living proof of a multi-tiered, corrupt justice system.
He will, however, face consequences in November.
Vote, everyone. It’s our only way out of this mess.

The supreme court gave him immunity. Jack Smith should ask for a reconsideration.

Hey may have not directly admitted he did it, but he has claimed a president can legally do it. Of which Liu pointed out. Well if he and the SCOTUS says it ok… go for it Biden.

this is why some say ‘it’s too bad the kid missed’. treason is punishable by death and I’ll be goddamned if this ain’t treason. vote tre45on into oblivion – and then hopefully prison for the greatest loser.

I’m not sure how this is news. He has said all along that he did the actions he’s accused of doing. He just insists they were all legal.
borisRoosevelt on
I could not dislike this human being more but ironically, I think it’s clear to me that he wasn’t actually confessing and he misspoke. (he never has and will never confess anything even if he is convicted .)
I believe he meant that he had every right to do what he did and was nonetheless indicted for interfering with the election. And more over that it made his polls go up just goes to show that he had the right to do… whatever it is he did. That it of course can’t be a crime because popularity in his mind is equivalent to being right. but he’s so clumsy and inarticulate that he phrased it wrong. The “it “at the end of his sentence was referring to the actions he took… not “interfering with the presidential election.”

He is that stupid, but he also knows that the SCOTUS Six are that corrupt.

That wasnt a confession. He is obviously guilty, but that was not a confession

This would only be “seriously stupid” if there were serious consequences for this supposed confession.
