Trump disoriented, confused about how his own criminal trial works
Donald Trump's recent remarks on Truth Social reveal his frustration with the jury selection process for his criminal trial, particularly regarding his misconception about the limited number of preemptive strikes allowed. Trump posted, “I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country. Don’t worry, we have the First Worst also, as the Witch Hunt continues! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” Despite his complaints about the venue and jury makeup, legal experts stress the importance of adhering to the jurisdiction where the alleged crimes occurred. Trump's confusion raises questions about his understanding of the legal proceedings and the effectiveness of communication with his legal team.
Biden hearing EXPLODES: TELL ME THE CRIME Biden committed!
Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin expressed frustration with the lack of concrete accusations against Joe Biden during a recent exchange with James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee. Raskin challenged Comer to specify the alleged crimes warranting impeachment, which Comer was unable to do. Raskin's confrontation with Comer underscores the political theatrics surrounding the impeachment discussions, revealing a broader stalemate and lack of consensus on legitimate grounds for impeachment. This impeachment inquiry should have wrapped up months ago, and Republicans are making themselves look increasingly more pathetic as they go along.

Trump LASHES OUT at potential juror, judge WARNS him
During the second day of jury selection for Donald Trump's first criminal trial, the former president faced admonishment from Judge Juan Merchan for visibly reacting to a potential juror. Trump's audible remarks and gestures led the judge to assert that he would not tolerate juror intimidation. The incident occurred when Trump's legal team questioned a potential juror who had shown what they perceived as anti-Trump sentiments on social media. Despite attempts to strike her from the jury pool, the judge deemed her credible and denied Trump's request. This incident highlights Trump's courtroom behavior and raises questions about his ability to receive a fair trial, especially considering his claims of bias in Manhattan's left-leaning environment. The trial's location in Manhattan aligns with the alleged crimes' jurisdiction, refuting claims of political motivation.

Trump Truth Social stock COLLAPSING, now down 65%
The Trump Media and Technology Group's Truth Social platform has seen a staggering decline in stock value, dropping by 65% from its peak. Once trading at over $70 a share on the NASDAQ, it’s now at a measly $26. There are questions about potential methods for Trump to extract money from the company, such as leveraging his stock or receiving funds from cronies, since he can’t sell his shares for another six months. Truth Social's financial reports reveal substantial losses with minimal revenue and lacking valuable intellectual property or a large user base. The market cap has sharply decreased to $3.5 billion, and by all accounts, this is still way too high based on the company’s assets, liabilities, and cash flow. With plans to enter the streaming market, uncertainties persist about the platform's future success, leading to speculation about the possibility of another Trump bankruptcy.
