That's because he's using the law as a weapon of intimidation against anyone who dares to disagree with him. It's insane that this has been allowed to happen.
Still refusing to call it the blatant corporate greed that everyone knows it is, remains journalistic malpractice.
He's both a compulsive liar and supremely proud of his ignorance. The fact that you would approach anything he says at face value is journalistic malpractice. That said, I fully believe he doesn't understand Project 2025's ramifications, but he also doesn't care. He wants to rule over the ashes.
Someone who is not a Democrat said no to the Democratic nomination. Didn't signal. Said no. Great reporting there WaPo. Going to ask a few more random people who are obviously going to say no, and wouldn't get it even if they tried? I mean, why not? You could make a whole series out of it.
This is literally why he is so popular with the ridiculous number of people who also don't know shit about shit. The intellectually dishonest, intellectually incurious, and just plain stupid in a coalition of assholery that just happens to call itself the Republican party.
Translation, just another slush fund of tax payer money they can steal from at will.
No guilty verdict is ever going to sway a single supporter away from him. They like him because he is objectively terrible, which gives them license to be just as terrible, and any guilty verdict is just going to cement further their perpetual belief that they are somehow the victims.
Lost billions he never had because the stock was never actually worth what "the market" magically claimed it was worth. It was a lie, based on lies, supported by blatant corruption. All because the company had a well-known name attached to it, so it would be easy to pump and dump.
I'm sure oral arguments will be made, but this Supreme Court won't hear them. They've already made up their minds, they just have to go through the charade to maintain a visage of legitimacy that they have abandoned.
