(23,731 posts)He was asked by Maria Bartoromo if he's still pursuing Trump's "big lie" and he "promised" he'd be "making arrests soon."
So yeah, you're 100% spot-on with that possibility. It would be a "double win" for Trump, with both halves of the equation firmly based in lies.

(77,563 posts)What a great way to help those talks get going. How many Iranians were killed or
hurt in this stupid attack on an Iranian ship?
This is a nightmare all of which is happening because of Trump and Epstein.
Trump should have been in jail years ago starting with juvenile detention when he was a
teenager he put a smaller kid in a hospital and tried to throw a teacher out a window up
until 2024 when as a Presidential candidate he was out on bail after being convicted of
34 felonies and the Supreme Court ruled the 14th amendment article 3 didnt say what
it said which was he should not have been eligible to run for President.
For the love of dog he needs to be stopped.
