The ironic thing is all these investigations and excoriation of Trump has assured his place in history....the left has elevated him into the stuff of legends and decades from now he will be discussed prob more than any other President...

And I hope that includes his villification by the 3 letter agencies that will go right up there with Waco and Ruby Ridge...

I still believe this is made for tv nonsense but Hoonose for sure? Controlled opposition seems most likely, especially with the unlimited budget enjoyed by the Fed’s and Trump’s place in the narrative.

Trump has called himself “The King of Debt” but when considering what and who he is borrowing from, the King is the guy lending him dollars created at the stroke of a keyboard. I believe those are the people running the show, the hidden hands, so to speak.

The drama is interesting but not the same as “winning”.

It's only defamation if CNN lied, still waiting for some one to prove any of it was not factual. There has been zero evidence brought forward that would convince any judge otherwise and this just smells like a diversion from everything else going on. Now, if he comes up with some new evidence that he's been sitting on I guess that may make a difference but I'm betting not.

In reality this is just probably another ill advised Trump stunt for his base and not what he needs if he really wants to run again. He is again elevating the act of crying after a loss to new levels. Not sure why he insists on being in the news for the wrong reasons. I'm thinking the legal team at CNN is thrilled for the opportunity to make a fool of him again. Sad.

Well, he does keep making "statements," but they're not helping with any possible run for POTUS again. Continually poking the bear and pissing off half the population isn't leadership, it's narcissism. He did some great things while POTUS, but at this point I wish he'd STFU and disappear with the Clintons and Obamas, and I'm a conservative and voted for him twice.

Unless it’s meant to be, in which case it’s working very well and he’s our worst enemy.

WTF?

Any of us with ANYTHING were SO MUCH better off when Trump was running the show and keeping us safe, respected, and economically healthy.

Why do liberals keep insisting the sky is green?

Be careful out there.

Some are being fooled into believing Trump is wacko.

Trump acted exactly like a non-career politician would in that same office. He isn't polished; and this is OK by me. CNN tries to make Trump look weirder than a non-career Politician would be. It's OK if he runs again; please don't let the narrative offered by the press make you rethink otherwise.

This ^^^ exactly.

The media makes huge efforts building a false narrative and caricature of who they want you to believe Trump is.

Can we let what he says from his own mouth to our ears make us think he's wacko? You know, like the way the continental army took over the airports in 1775?

Trump doesn't help himself any. If somebody would have taken his Twitter account away he'd probably still be POTUS. He's pissed off half the country and he keeps doing it. He can't help himself. It's time for him to step aside and let DeSantis run, but I predict he won't and that he'll badmouth DeSantis and pave the way for another Dem to win in two years.

I disagree.

The 2020 election was rigged/stolen.

I disagree again.

It's the media that does it. And any who buy it are ignorant fools IMO.

Lars, disagree all you want, and point fingers everywhere but Trump, but he's his own worst enemy. There are a LOT of people in this country who will vote for anybody with a pulse instead of him. That's not going to change no matter how much you disagree or point fingers. It's time for him to step aside, but his ego won't allow that.
