Trump EXPLODES over rejected appeals, posts 14 videos, brain failing
The upcoming New York criminal trial against former President Trump remains on schedule, following a judge's rejection of his latest attempt to delay proceedings. The beginning of the trial, having to do with alleged hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election cycle, is set to begin next Monday, April 15th. Trump, in response, flooded social media with a barrage of erratic videos via Truth Social during the night, showcasing his grievances on various topics, from immigration to presidential immunity. Trump alleges unfair treatment by the justice system, portraying himself as a victim of political persecution. Trump's insistence on immunity from legal scrutiny underscores the escalating tension surrounding his impending trial, set to commence without further delay.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba FIRED by Trump executive
Alina Habba, once again finds herself ousted, this time by Allen Weisselberg, Trump's former CFO. Armen Morian has taken her place as Weisselberg's attorney in the ongoing legal saga. Habba, a familiar face in Trump's legal battles, enjoyed the limelight and perks of association, including Mar-a-Lago visits and TV appearances. However, her tenure was marred by legal troubles and public humiliations, including financial losses for Trump and courtroom rebukes. Despite the trend of high-profile attorneys being replaced, Habba's dismissal highlights the risks of aligning with Trump, as her professional reputation suffers. Weisselberg's detachment from Trump suggests a shift in loyalty towards self-preservation. This move raises questions about the dynamics of influence and loyalty within Trump's circle, as Weisselberg distances himself from Habba, who previously represented Trump. The saga underscores the complexities and consequences of intertwining one's career with Trump's orbit.

Former Trump aide: NO CHOICE but to vote Biden
Sarah Matthews, a former White House aide to Donald Trump, has openly declared her intention to vote for Joe Biden in the upcoming election, citing concerns about the danger to democracy posed by Trump's presidency. While some criticize her belated recognition of Trump's unfitness for office, others commend her honesty and forthrightness in acknowledging the broader implications beyond mere policy differences. Matthews' stance reflects a growing sentiment among anti-Trump Republicans who prioritize safeguarding democracy over partisan loyalty. The moral clarity exhibited by Matthews and others like Mitt Romney contrasts with the ambiguity of figures such as William Barr and John Bolton, who have been less vocal about their opposition to Trump. While acknowledging past errors in judgment, there needs to be an emphasis on welcoming those who now align with the cause of preserving democracy and reflecting Joe Biden.
From yesterday’s show:
RFK Jr's VP hasn't been seen since becoming his running mate
The selection of Nicole Shanahan as Robert F Kennedy Jr's vice presidential running mate stirred controversy, with speculations arising about her absence from public events since the announcement. Despite being a major donor to Kennedy's campaign, Shanahan's visibility has been limited. Reports indicate she has not attended public events or made media appearances, leading to doubts about her commitment to the campaign. Some suggest Shanahan's inclusion was aimed at leveraging her connections in Silicon Valley to attract big tech funding. However, doubts persist about her ability to sway voters, as her absence fails to demonstrate a tangible impact on Kennedy's support base. Recent polls indicate declining support for Kennedy, with fewer voters considering him a viable alternative to Biden or Trump.
