The craziest part of this whole deal is the support for him hasn't really shifted.

Despite or because of all these legal problems, Trump remains by far the favorite for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination>

All the Republican/Trump supporters I've ever met here in New Zealand (why? Who the hell knows)are batshit crazy. Most of them Christians too surprise surprise.

I will never understand how he has international fans.

Do other countries not have comparable sociopathic narcissists?

It baffles me too.

There was an antivax mandate protest at Parliament here last year and there were actually people in the crowd holding Trump 2024 posters. Like wtf?!

The republicans I know are ones opposed to the British monarchy, they seem alright mostly. ;-)

And usually all these pressers do is increase his donations. It's wild.

That story just got better and better

“Prettyman federal court house” .. I know it’s just a name but it works so well in this case.

I firmly believe shit like this annoys him more than anything else.

Very few of us can accept parody of ourselves ... least of all sociopaths/psychopaths.

I can't believe that's really the name of the courthouse
