Trump's Week From Hell | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

Friends,
This was not exactly Trump’s best week.
New York Justice Arthur F. Engoron found Trump liable for conspiring to manipulate his net worth and ordered him to pay a penalty that will exceed $450 million - which, along with the $83 million judgment against him in the defamation suit brought by E. Jean Carroll - could wipe out his entire stockpile of cash.
Meanwhile, a date was set for the hush money trial, in which Trump is alleged to have paid off a porn star to keep her quiet before the election but somehow failed to report it as an election expense.
Oh, and a former FBI informant was found to have fabricated the Hunter Biden story - the allegation that President Biden and his son sought bribes from a Ukrainian energy company. The informant has been arrested.
Meanwhile, Trump’s favorite murderous dictator, Vladimir Putin, seems to have knocked off his major opponent, Aleksei A. Navalny - an anticorruption activist who for more than a decade led the political opposition to Putin while enduring arrests, assaults, and a near-fatal poisoning - under mysterious circumstances. Navalny was 47. The apparent murder complicates Trump’s efforts to prevent Republicans from giving more aid to Ukraine.
Heather and I try to make some sense out of Trump’s week from hell.

[@reginacorbin3929]

It's a sad day in America when Putin gets more praise and support by the GOP and right wing than our own US president.

[@user-xn9mu5qi8j]

Our own is a joke.

[@kidslovesatan34]

If you missed this … Asked on Quora: "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" An articulate and witty writer from England, Nate White, wrote the following spot-on response, sentiments shared by people around the world in general … “A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace; all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing. Not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility. For us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is. His idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults, he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff, the Queensberry rules of basic decency, and he breaks them all. He punches downwards, which a gentleman should, would, could never do, and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless, and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority, perhaps a third, of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: - Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. - You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws, he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumps of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God, what have I created?’ If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

Dr. Frankenstein would have simply stated: “Fuck me and my career, I’m worthless.” Americans sum Trump up quickly with: “He’s an asshole.” You do NOT have to be a GOOD person to be a leader.. you just have to lead and have enough rats to follow you as the piper… which GOP does in spades. The uneducated and the poor do the same which is what most religions have done. It is what Hitler & Mussolini did & what Netanyahu is doing at this VERY moment. Khadafi, Noriega, Maduró, Bolsonaro, Idi Amin, Castro, Stalin, Lenin Putin, Kim Jong Il etc are or were ALL leaders they WERE ALSO FAILURES as they felt tyranny was the answer!!

[@anniefannycharles9951]

This was very interesting guys and easy for the typical person to understand. Mr. Reich, I've always enjoyed listening to what you have to say. I'm from New Jersey and relocated to the sw Florida coast a few years ago. The politics here are horrible. As I'm sure you're aware! But I do have hope. After January 6 I saw a few lifelong republicans say they won't be voting for DT. Hopefully it's a lot more that what I see.

Good Morning ☕️☕️

[@ESHANABROOK]

As a juror in a civil and criminal trials, in my opinion, don't mess with the judge.

[@yourdaddy-mq4km]

Judge is biased.

[@moorebounce]

He wasn't angry enough to give him a permanent business ban in New York.

[@yourdaddy-mq4km]

The judge isn't angry, he was paid a lot of money to push these frivolous lawsuits through.

[@psychomd1939]

When is the IRS going to come for their share?

[@stephensowell9578]

Robert, you are one of a kind to me. Keep at it. The spirit of darkness is starting to lift.

[@brigid.mckinney]

Thank you both!😊

[@maryroseart]

He's got a GoFundMe now. Worth up to $48,000 as we speak... The disgusting thing is that it might not be illegal. So, no punishment

[@flea10x6]

GoFundMe gives him more freedom on how to spend than “campaign contributions.” Just love that these contributors are probably the same who cry the loudest about taxes and inflation, but opt to use their cash on Trump.

Thank you for sharing

Great work, Robert!

The American Justice System is glacially slow and too vulnerable to needless delays

[@sandraalbert562]

You are right people are running away from Trumpism!

[@tammystockley-loughlin7680]

Not fast enough. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.

There is a gofundme for trump. Right now it is $56,178. The originator's husband is rich.

Trump For Jail 👍

[@yourdaddy-mq4km]

Trump for president 🇺🇸.

[@integralsun]

I like how you two complement each other…..good interchange.

[@lindagarland5223]

Thank you, you two.

[@MikeOfKorea]

Has Trump opted for jury trials in any of his cases? If not, that is worth exploring.

[@player627]

He was denied one in the NY case.

[@patbyrne3076]

More like it was a week from hell for all of us. So tired of trump’s nonsense. Really. Enough.

[@colingillett6447]

Personly I think Americans should hold their heads in shame the American justice system has become the biggest joke in the world 😂

[@robertzzz247]

The burnt carrot will make grifting great again to cover his penalty.

[@dalemettee1147]

Now if he doesn't post the bond, the judge can start proceedings to siege holdings to equal the amount he owes.

[@lbazemore585]

You are so dear!!❤❤❤

Wonder what Comer Pyle knew and when he knew it, concerning their “highly credible” informant. Disgusting.

The coffee cups are SO 70s burnt orange!. We had two burnt orange cats up on the wall for so long that when we moved the paint behind them was three shades lighter in tone.

[@Bunnybella765]

Good morning 🌞 all with common sense! The harm was to the practice of business. As the capital of business in the WORLD…legal business is a must and all fraud should be prosecuted. When everyone is expected to follow legal business practices, then EVERYONE has to follow the same laws and regulations. Period

A physical dwarf - an intellectual giant. Robert Reich is awesome.

[@tomsenft7434]

People like Netanyahu don't stop doing things when they are asked to.

[@leohorishny9561]

WHY is he allowed to have access to business operation in THREE YEARS??!!! Especially since he was originally facing being banned from business operation in NY for life, initially! If anyone deserves that, it’s him and his whole corrupt family.🤬

[@chadevans4922]

We all know he'll appeal this to death and never pay a dime.

[@dtsh4451]

Don’t let reality settle in yet and Little Reich needs some time to revel in the moment 😂🤡

[@gcro9206texanforever]

If DJT wants to appeal, he must submit the full payment plus interest to the court to be held until there is a final appellant decision - he cannot avoid paying

[@eliseh.7474]

Loved this convo, thank you both.

[@garypetrini1137]

Rock on! The truth should matter.

[@yourdaddy-mq4km]

Election interference is the real truth.

[@vehiclemiracle-nd6qp]

The Judge should sue Trump for calling him Corrupt and trying to ruin his Good Reputation.

[@dianadickerson749]

Then why did he stop from dissolving his companies? Why no jail time? As anybody else would have been in jail for the same thing, ask cohen.

[@themoontoonshines923]
