We've known for several years now, that MAGA Republicans believe there should be a "special set of rules" for Mr. Trump where he can commit any crime he wants without having to face any prosecution for his illegal criminal actions.
So in MAGA World, their deranged belief is that Mr. Trump should be allowed to steal top secret nuclear documents and no charges should be brought against him by the DOJ, but they want Mr. Trump's political opponents to be prosecuted and jailed based on phony accusations and debunked conspiracy theories.
Mr. Trump was caught red handed stealing, hiding, and refusing to turn over top secret nuclear documents and other top secret classified documents that he had no business having at his residence. Mr. Trump was also showing off these highly sensitive documents to Republican donors and book ghostwriters who had no security clearance to view these highly classified documents. Mr. Trump is recorded on tape at his residence admitting these documents were NOT declassified when he left office but he was publicly lying for months that he already "declassified them".
You would think these Trump supporters would say, "yeah that is bad, let Mr. Trump go through the justice system as any American would since he put our national security and American lives at risk".
Nope, they don't do that at all. Instead, Trump supporters start attacking our justice system calling them the "Deep State" and screaming we live in a "banana republic" when a criminal like Mr. Trump is indicted for his 38 felonies against the United States. Then they start in with their "whataboutisms" against Mr. Trump's political opponents who have never been charged with any crimes just to deflect away from Mr. Trump's crimes.
When Mr. Trump was accused by over 27 women of sexual assault, his supporters defended him and attacked the women who came forward. Mr. Trump was caught on tape bragging about his sexual assaults, but even that didn't bother his hardcore supporters. Even when Mr. Trump was found guilty of sexual assault last month in civil court, his supporters attacked the woman that he assaulted. But when Democrat Andrew Cuomo was accused of the same actions, Mr. Trump's supporters were screaming for Cuomo to resign, be prosecuted, and jailed over those same actions. The hypocrisy is unreal with the radical right. They want a special set of rules for Mr. Trump to assault but Mr. Cuomo isn't allowed their own "special rules" since he is not the MAGA cult leader.
Top Democrats and Democratic voters called for Cuomo to resign and no longer supported him unlike the MAGA cult who dug in even more to support an abuser like Mr. Trump. That's the clear difference between Democrats and Republicans.
We see this currently going on right now in the House of Representatives. MAGA Republican New York Congressman George Santos, was just criminally indicted and the Republican House is refusing to expel him from congress. Now if Mr. Santos was a Democrat, the entire Republican House would be on the floor holding debates demanding for him to be expelled immediately. The right wing media would be yelling each day for Democrats to expel him. But since Santos is a Republican, we get nothing but silence from the right wing media and GOP House condoning even more criminal activity.
Face it, Republicans support criminals and criminal behavior from anyone with an (R) after their name and believe they should never be held accountable for their crimes when they are charged. Once again, a "special set of rules" for people like Mr. Trump and Mr. Santos than other American citizens.
Mr. Trump famously once boasted in 2016, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.”
That's not true anymore, since Mr. Trump currently has 54% support of Republicans when it used to be 96% in 2016. Mr. Trump lost 42% support going to other candidates since that remark. But the point is, if Mr. Trump actually did shoot somebody like he boasted about, almost everyone of his current 54% would be demanding that he shouldn't be charged with a crime for "shooting someone" like they are doing now in the stolen documents indictment. That's how deranged these people are.
What now Mr. Trump? Well, you're going to be arrested on Tuesday in Miami for espionage and face another indictment in Jack Smith's January 6th probe coming up soon. Mr. Trump will also be indicted again in August for election fraud and racketeering in Fani Willis' Fulton County, Georgia indictment. Mr. Trump has more indictments and several criminal trials to look forward to in his future.
MAGAs whine, "But Fani Willis is a Democrat, that's political persecution!"
No it's not.
If Mr. Trump hadn't have called the Republican Georgia Secretary of State on the phone demanding to get 11,000+ votes he never received in order to steal the election from Joe Biden, then Mr. Trump wouldn't be in this predicament. Ms. Willis is just doing her job.
If Mr. Trump hadn't have said "Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and my Republicans" then he wouldn't be facing indictment. Ms. Willis is just doing her job. Mr. Trump did this to himself.
If Mr. Trump hadn't have stolen boxes of top secret classified documents and didn't refuse to give them up, then he wouldn't be indicted for espionage by Jack Smith. Again, Mr. Trump did this to himself. Jack Smith is just doing his job.
There is no "Deep State" out to get Mr. Trump when Mr. Trump was caught red handed with the goods and is on tape bragging about having classified documents in his possession that is illegal to hold as a private citizen. If the DOJ had no evidence on Mr. Trump and then charged him, then that would be the "DOJ out to get Trump", but that is clearly not the case. Mr. Trump was caught red handed with the goods. He did it to himself.
If Mr. Trump didn't decide to incite an insurrection to steal the presidency from Biden and an election from the American people, then Mr. Trump wouldn't be facing an indictment in DC.
Mr. Trump is a brazen criminal who finally got caught with massive amounts of evidence against him. This is nobody else's fault except his own. Now he has to accept reality and face the consequences.
And for MAGAs to cry and whine that "others are out to get him" when Mr. Trump was caught red handed with the goods is absolutely pathetic. Own it and take the loss MAGA. Mr. Trump is a guilty criminal and will face the justice system just like every single American who is charged with serious crimes has to go through.
Mr. Trump doesn't get any "special rules".
