Happy indictment day my fellow Trump haters!! It’s a good day. Who knows what will happen but today is a good day as we are finally seeing Donald Trump face real justice after watching him make a mockery of the presidency for 6 years.
Of course Trump’s Republican allies are denouncing news of the federal charges against him as “election interference,” claiming the indictment is an attempt to divert attention from accusations against Joe Biden. Seriously, that is so lame…that’s the best they can do?
News is breaking quickly, but several sources are reporting that Trump is facing a list of unknown charges stemming from the DOJ’s investigation into his handling of classified documents found in his Florida home in August. One source familiar with the matter told The New York Times that the indictment includes seven counts.
Trump also posted about the indictment on his Truth Social account, saying he is expected to be arraigned in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday.
Trump has maintained his innocence, often calling the DOJ probe a “hoax” and a “witch hunt” and a form of “election interference.” Several of the one-term loser former president’s political allies also condemned the news of his indictment over Twitter, including Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, who tweeted that it was a “Sad day for America.”
Sad day for America. God Bless President Trump.

“Democrats must literally shake with sweats when they see amazing packed out Trump rallies and overwhelming winning poll numbers week after week,” said Marjorie Taylor Greene, who also shared screenshots of Trump’s reaction on Truth Social. “They must awake in the night with panic at the thoughts of us winning in 2024.”

So dramatic!
Former Arizona GOP candidate Kari Lake called on her followers to “Pray for America” in light of the news of Trump’s indictment.
“It’s official—Biden is trying to put President Trump behind bars,” Lake wrote on Twitter. “This is the most egregious case of Election Interference in history. The United States has toppled other countries for jailing political opposition. I cannot believe this is now happening here.”

He with the big head and little face, Charlie Kirk, demanded that Trump’s opponents in the 2024 GOP primary take action and “show solidarity” with the former president, or risk being made “part of the opposition.”
“Every ‘Republican’ running for President should suspend their campaign and go to Miami as a show of support,” Kirk tweeted Thursday. “If you don’t, you are part of the problem. Either we have an opposition party or we don’t. GO to Miami Tuesday, and show solidarity or we will mark you as part of the opposition.”

Then there were many other crazy responses, with the first being my personal favorite:
This is the JFK assassination all over again.

Even if they put Donald Trump in a jail cell, I will still only be voting for him in 2024.
We will never abandon Donald Trump amid such vicious persecution and injustice.
I will fight for Donald Trump. We should all be willing to fight for Donald Trump. If the DOJ gets away…

Former Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield: “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says [Trump] can’t be President from inside prison — and then once he gets there, he can pardon himself.”

Democrats are throwing away 247 years of American democracy over a records case…
Horrifying.

Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America.
It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades.
I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump…
