THE rumor is that donnie will be tried as an adult

[@michelmadaire]

Adult !!!, he should be put in a strait jacket, PERIOD.

[@Ch-ui6mw]

WAAH, WA, WA, WAAAHHH!! "The judge won't let me go to my son's graduation!!" When will trump finally realize that every single thing that happens to him, that is happening to him, is the direct result of his own actions, and no one else?

[@Ch-ui6mw]

Further.....No, Donald, the judicial system has not conspired to put you on trial in the middle of your campaign. The TRUTH is that you are choosing to conduct a political campaign right in the middle of your prosecutions. Stop whining! You've brought this all upon yourself. Consequences!!!

Does anyone know where I can find news that don’t have the name trump in it? Why can’t they just say, court started today with jury selection, in other news…….

[@austinb1565]

because the left is obssesd with trump and they probably have nightmares of him getting in office and actually turning the country around and holding those accountable for the destruction of our country
