#NBCNews #Trump #Indictment
Because he’s not guilty
🤡 usa turning into a banana state, this is so pathetic
Wow! Decent even handed reporting. CONGRATULATIONS!
Of course it is! The only Fake News is the alt-right channels like Fox News, Newsmax & OAN!
They are so afraid of him. They will do anything to prevent his chances of running/winning in 2024. Pathetic and appalling witch hunt.
Reminds me of the bogus kangaroo Nazi courts.
He’ll bounce back stronger than ever and win in 2024.
Nope
So when is Joe Biden and Hunter Biden going to get arrested🤔
This is how a criminal, despicable, twice impeached and once indicted fake president looked like! 👊👊👊
Wait, hold up, 34 felony counts??? XD
Same supposed payoff to the same person. His ex lawyer. Who paid off Stormy. 34 counts sounds mightier than one right? Usually the court uses such strategies to get you to cop a plea bargain. Except in this particular case, If Trump admits any of the payments are fraud then he must admit all similar successive payments are fraud. That won’t happen. Trial date is set to coincide with the Presidential election.
“There is a mountain of evidence offered by prosecutors in court papers today, but the fundamental question is whether any of it amounts to a crime.”
Well, if the so called “evidence” doesn’t amount to a crime, is it really accurate to call these papers evidence? I can call the Burger King coupons I got in the mail today evidence.
Hes a criminal😂😂😂
It is evidence the prosecution has a case
@matt Murdock it is only evident enough for the sideways judge to go hmmmm you might have something. You have only 15 days to uncover the misdeeds these accusations are covering up or defrauded. After the 15 day mark if nothing is unveiled the case will be dropped and expunged from Trumps criminal record and he then can run and still become a US president. I’m willing to be 15,000 and a vote for Trump to walk yet again unscathed. 🙂
Su-34 bomber
Rule 34 bone
Rhymes
He must have forgotten to say ” I plead the 5th”. He’s going down this time.
Trump 2024!
Just like the Russia accusation. This will lead nowhere. Pathetic
Thank you so much congresswoman Greene for been there for the greatest president ever in this great yet country TRUMP 2024 believe it you all leftists . Good will always prevail over evil …
Good, let’s finish the job and flush this scummy fascist pos down the drain.
Biden classified documents , laptop, Ashley diary? Hillary’s 30,000 emails destroyed w hammers and bleach but? Na…. Just go after the man who actually raged against the machine. Ridiculous. Trump, love him or hate him, is innocent and this is so dangerous of the precedent they’ve been setting with him due to their pure hatred and ignorance 💯🇺🇸
Thanks for getting Trump Re Elected.
Silliness
Hope his attorneys can expose them all
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
his attorney will need a attorney 😂😂😂…
He’s Not Guilty of breaking any laws!
All Bullcrap…. Authoritarian establishment sure doesn’t want Trump to run for president they don’t want Trump to reverse all the damage they have done to this country on purpose. We might as well be living in North Korea . All while our dollar is going to burn real soon the world is turning away from the dollar because all Democrats and entire Biden administration have managed to destroy our country from top to bottom. Everything will soon be crashing down in front of us too many Americans have taken their freedoms and this country for granted and are too gullible in believing the mockingbird CIA media blindly that has been working against us for decades since John f Kennedy was murdered at the very least. This administration has restarted two wars and one new one endangering us all with nuclear obliteration honestly that would be the least painful way to go.
We’ll all be in on this 💩 ride together hang on to your hats .
This is so crazy fight on Mr president your the best President ever
STAY STRONG PRESIDENT TRUMP,,,DON’T LET THEM WEAR YOU DOWN,,,WE’RE ALL PRAYING FOR YOU ✝️🙏🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Im praying too. For him to b LOCKED UP😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, no we’re not. #TrumpForPrision2024
Yeah he’s going to need a lot of prayers cuz there’s several other cases going which means a lot more charges coming especially for the Insurrection of January 6th we’re at least five people died because of him running his mouth so you better put your prayers shoes on cuz you’re going to need them but you know what I don’t think it’s going to help I don’t vote Republican or Democrat but Donald Trump is the stupidest SOB I ever heard open his mouth because every time he does no matter the subject something stupid comes out of it
Who are you prayin
Satan ?
Don’t speak for me.
So they all forgot Sticky Fingers was in a heap of trouble way before he thought about another screwing for OUR Country. Not happening. Just remember this one was not a keeper, or should I say the smaller one.
Fake news!
Billions to Ukraine….. look Trump!! Lemmings.
Trump’s hair actually looks good.
Fact check; Trump not the first
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
William Henry West (September 1842 – September 6, 1915) was an African American soldier and police officer in Washington, D.C., who arrested Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president of the United States, in 1872.[1][2] This is the only known record of a sitting US president being arrested.
Can you even imagine what the dems would do if the Republicans tried to do this to the clintons ?????
Only innocent people have nothing to hide… That’s not applicable to Trump…
LOCK HIM UP😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂Yay!
I wonder how much Soros is paying Bragg ? This is déjà vu… wouldn’t anything of consequence have come out 6-7 years ago– the first time they persecuted Pres. Trump?? Or are they just finally admitting their complete incompetence??? I suppose it’s OK since our beloved USA apparently has no other pressing issues like homelessness or the loss of so many small businesses or thousands of illegals flooding into our country…
you need a nap
Wrong president the current one is Biden
Sure he will plead. Not guilty to being a Putin flunky
Speculated email to TO PUTIN, please send me money. Do anything
We dont had the same dragon guys😂😂😂😂😂
God bless Mr Trump.
lmao
TRUMP 🇺🇲
This is getting so ridiculous. This all really needs to stop not only is it bad for our country and our way of living but they’re destroying this man’s life he has a family and a life. So the bidens in the Democrats need to get over themselves and grow up and accept the fact that Trump is a good man and he knows what he’s doing my God
Trump fooled you. Sorry that you are too stupid to get it. Get offline now.
Bring on the 2024 civil war
you have to be kidding
Are we gonna go after Hillary for her investment into the fake Russian dossier? What about hunter paying biden 50,000 a month in rent? Or the 1 million biden family received? No? Nothing? What about bill clintonthen when he paid his hush money payments?
What about Jered Kushner getting $2 Billion from the Saudis?
Let’s start rounding up the real criminals now they’re all in plain sight doing all kinds of criminal activity
And also a shame on all the people that keep trying to go after him
He need to call Saul Goodman!
Who is that
It took them 7 years to fabricate evidence….wow, imagine 7 years……….why it couldn’t be found before he became president because there wasn’t anything there. What harm did he commit to the American people like what’s going on today, struggling to pay for food and shelter? Even globally all was quiet, no chaos…all under control, including the border back then.
Wow, you are deranged 🤣
Best President ever!
This puts a smile on my face. TRUMP is an insult to ALL Americans. TRUMP will get donations for his defense from uneducated people.
Correction: Not Mr. Trump! But Former president Trump!
Be respectful!
Marjorie T Drama Queen🤢
This is a distraction. Look for news elsewhere. China brokering a deal between Saudi and Russia to cripple and replace the US dollar. France is burning. Taiwan readying to be invaded. Tens of thousands dying in Ukraine. Please look outside the bubble of American media and see what actually matters in the world!
All l can say is…where were his children or.. wife!!!… for Moral Support!!!??? Maybe they were all scared they might be arrested too?😂😂😂 Isn’t it well said..that when you are sick or in jail..is when you really know who is your real friend !!!!????…😊😊😊
would u want your family members see you like that? The world watching you, shredding your family name, and at the same time walking with you as your alleged of doing a crime you may or have not committed. Think of your foolish words wisely for I know for a fact you wouldn’t put your family through all that at your expense.
@DranZuthahor Gaming what does Apples have to do with Oranges? A spouse is someone in sickness, in health and everything else!!!!..& Moral Support is everything someone going thru..no matter what!!!?.. Pls dont get me wrong, l like the guy! ( expression) former President, Mr Donald Trump.. He tells you and anyone the truth!!!.. Alot of people hate the truth… 😂 Have a Nice Day….
Trump 2024! The Fascists are trying thier desperate fraud charges to prevent him from winning!
These people are awful! I can’t believe this is happening in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Hate him or love him, this shouldn’t be happening. Simply because he’s Trump
Untested legal gamble amounts to politics of a former persecutor now Vice President.
Who is chasing me?
We are now a third world communist country Demoncrats will soon eat cats 🐈 like in Cuba and China, when did communist socialism work, 🤔 Cambodia, Russian gulags?
A man destroyed my social and family life was Iblees?
F. B….Definition of “ibleess” ? Gracias !!
@Google the Forward Party not accepted deprived from all necessary towards prosperity.
76 years old stop electing old man think young
The judge is obese. But the again most New Yorkers are obese.
We the People stand with the Greatest American President Trump👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹MAGA MUST STRIKE JUSTICE FOR ALL OF US LAW AND ORDER FOR SURE TRUMP VICTORY INDEED
Horrible man
ฝ่ายศรัตรูเช่นลุงตู่โจรถูงดำ❤❤❤❤❤ผ้าม่านถุงกำ
Stay
This is a shame and an embarrassment he was a UNITED STATES PRESIDENT 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
BECAUSE A DEMOCRAT GOT THEIR BUTS HURT.
How scared does the democrats responsible for this persecution have to be of Trump becoming President again.
Whoever did this and it doesn’t lead to a conviction of Trump. Then Whoever brought these charges against him, they need to be held accountable for using their position of Influence over our country’s Law as weapon of retaliation.
SERIOUSLY!!!
This such an embarrassment
So many people are looking at this as if it is a witch hunt while ignoring the possibility that the accusations might be valid
I think most people believe the accusations are valid while also believing it be a politically motivated and underhanded attack. I’m no supporter of Trump but from what I understand these particular offenses would be processed as misdemenours in any other case
Even though I have never liked him, this is politically motivated. War criminals like Bush is drawing pictures as we speak right now. Trump has never started a war and he was correct on Wuhan virus. Blair is another war criminal like Putin
You got to start wondering if this prosecutor is actually pro-Trump.
😂
He’s still in denial. Thinking this is all politics. We can see that from him complaining about crowd size.
There’s no politic. It’s law and he’s going to jail.
The only thing that matters is did he break the law or not.
One’s money, power, and political importance is not relevant.
No one is above the law…..well, except in North Korea, or Russia, or the Third Reich, etc.
soon we will have a dictator disorder (Trump) in the dsm 6
Nope… tRUMP been Convicted.. NO DICTATOR HA😅 HA😅 ❗️👏👏🏁❗️🏆🤸♀️❗️
That was 8 years ago. Statute of limitations has passed.
Obviously not since he been charged. You not a US attorney.
What a corruption of our justice system. It’s blatant and clearly politically motivated. Kangaroo court.
34 … Wow. Hope one sticks.
Marjorie, your mind is so far gone.. we have a person leading the republican party in Every Election!! Sheesh she talks like flatulence.
The Chinese government is preparing to intervene in the judiciary again! Cover up sports scandals! The first time NBA players stole sneakers in China!
Once a bully always a bully
The Republican Party Of Chaos, Complete Disorder And Confusion!
” …Mr. tRUMP…. Defiant & Somber… ‘
🤷♂️HENEVER has 👉THAT BEEN ❓️👈 MUCHOS GRACIAS !! NBC…
👉 tRUMP been Convicted.. NO DICTATOR HA😅 HA😅 ❗️👈
👏👏🏁❗️🏆🤸♀️❗️
I thought he said that Mexicans were criminals? 😂😂😂
What a joke MTG is. Literally her entire career has been created by her sycophantic behavior of sucking up to Trump and Trump supporters.
Another Karen! Oh wow, these Karens are showing up everywhere in the middle of drama.
Love Trump ❤️🤞
Trump is innocent. Leave him alone!!
He deserved it 😂
He’s dirty like floor mat

Look at that scowl, poor baby😂
Bye Felicia 👋
Fake news selling propaganda for democrats everyone everyone America knows this. Let’s talk about democrats desperately using this fake attack on trump to distract from the news of Biden family bribes from China 🇨🇳. They are traitors to this country.
Hush money payments or lieing on a loan application, shame on him.
If the hush money payments were from election funds, and/or cheating on taxes,, would be bad for him.
And will join all his associates that are that are facing the same problem the one’s he pardoned them to protect his own violations
The DA is truly a POS
this is free publicity on behalf of the guilty. this shouldn’t be covered as news, especially if he wins as it will only fule the insanity.
Republicans are Fascist Nutters!
Thanks God. I hope all worse things happen to the United States of America until they pay for whatever they did. Students study hard and you easily steal their ideas from their brains. Sounds like a good deal. Fighting for freedom. New slavery. It is my responsibility. I thought everyone should know. We are imprisoned in a place whose slogan was freedom. Don’t travel to the USA. Never even for a short time. If you have any special knowledge or skills or an invention, they will steal it from your mind. The US government initially used this method to identify people who intended to harm the United States. But today, they use it for many purposes, including stealing information from people, stealing data from people’s minds. And many celebrities like Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are helping to lure the US government. They’ll see whatever you see. You’ll never have privacy even with your wife or girlfriend. They’ll see whatever you think. When Taylor Swift said I use my best colors for your portrait, she meant it’s one of the newest things they’re using. Or when she said, “Touch me, and you’ll never be alone. or I can read you like a Magazine. Your silence would help them to do it again and again. They said, don’t say anything because of The USA. They wanted to pay me $1,000,000, but that was not what I asked from them. Those are not only songhe (Taylor Swift) likes A writer of crime stories whose stories are authentic and have committed all the murders. Taylor Adolf Hitler, the Humans, are not your laboratory mice. Sometimes what we hear are like warning lights to prevent accidents. Events that the causes of those events are not afraid of repeating them, but they are happy. And they sat waiting for the right time. Let’s not ignore what we hear. Kidnapping in a new style
