Well, it didn't take long for Trump to weigh in.

Former President Donald Trump hinted at a political comeback after he was acquitted following his second Senate impeachment trial.

Trump issued a defiant statement following the Senate vote.

"It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree," Trump argued.

He'll start his 2024 campaign shortly.

1. Fuck him.

[uppityperson]

2. His statement is true, just not in the manner he meant it.

9. From my POV, his statement describes the GOP in a nutshell.

I wouldn't expect anything different from a nut.

[moose65]

15. Yep

As I saw posted elsewhere:

Every Republican accusation is really a confession.

[milestogo]

3. It is a sad commentary that a sitting president can lie about the election, incite an insurrection,

and attempt to have members of Congress assassinated and pay no penalty at all for it.

4. When he does start his campaign

I hope the media doesn't cling to his every word.

5. Wonder who wrote that? That's not trumps writing.

Bannon? More likely, Roger Stone

[42bambi]

13. Exactly what I just said to Hubby!

[electric_blue68]

19. Same immediate thought

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. He's never said "denigrate" in his life. Who wrote this for him?

[Crunchy Frog]

7. I wonder who wrote that for him. nt

[Wounded Bear]

8. Projection, as usual...nt

[UpInArms]

10. More lies spewing from

His anus mouth

[roamer65]

11. Wait until his salvo against McConnell comes out.

[Peacetrain]

12. He is going to rally.. and he will take their money to pay his debts..

and the law suits are going to be nonstop... this is just the beginning and he does not have the mantle of the President to hide behind anymore

[tblue37]

18. Nor does he have Twitter and Facebook to amplify his blathering.

[spanone]

14. fuck you don.

[badhair77]

16. How long till he goes on fox?

They’d gladly give him a platform. But he’s going to want to rally and that costs money. Definitely not HIS money. He needs that adulation, however. Get ready.

[Celerity]

17. FU Trump

[pwb]

20. If he runs Democrats will have a good turn out.

Maybe some pickups in the midterms. Pukes are all trump now. It will be light against dark from now on.

[Arkansas Granny]

21. I wonder if his appeal will last till 2024. He'll have some diehard supporters,

but surely, by that time, most Republicans will have regained their senses.

[OnDoutside]

22. I've believed this all along, that convicting him and barring him from running again, only suits the

GOP, and I'm even more convinced having watched McConnell's "speech". Trump has them by the balls, and their hearts & minds have followed. He also has sole access to the Trump Donor list, which Republicans desperately need. I think 2022 will be good for Democrats.

[bdamomma]

23. He can cause

another insurrection, this will embolden him, not good at all. He seeks revenge on anyone who crosses him.

Read that comment, one political party. That sends shivers down my spine. I just hope he doesn't have a social media platform again.
