A 2020 general rematch between #Trump & President Joe #Biden is becoming increasingly #inevitable. #NikkiHaley has vowed to stay in the race through at least the batch of primaries on March 5, known as #SuperTuesday, but was unable to dent Trump’s momentum in #SouthCarolina, her home state, despite holding far more campaign events & arguing that the #indictments against Trump will hamstring him against Biden.
Trump on Truth Social: “Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!”
If you don't like it here, you can always leave. Oh wait. #indictments
"Is it clever, or deluded, for Trump—who complained last week that he has been indicted more times than Al Capone—to see his trials as a political opportunity?"
"Donald Trump's lawyers asked a federal appeals court on Saturday to throw out special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of the former president related to the Jan. 6 uprising, arguing that Trump is immune from prosecution for acts he committed as president."
