They give into him way too much, period! Now, he is spewing nonsense! The judge needs put a gag order in place?

(2,102 posts)And he lost last time by something less than 100k votes. So Id say his chances are 50/50 to win reelection. Hope Im wrong but Im a realist.
Reducing an appeal bond doesnt appear to be that uncommon, and regardless of how much we dislike it Trump is one of like six living people who are current or former presidents and therefore in a completely different category. This isnt because hes white or rich or Republican its because he is a former president and current candidate for president. Nobody would care if this had happened to some random person in New York.
