Donald Trump laughs at everyone, starting with his formation, the Republican Party; with the addition that he is now doing so after having been charged with 91 criminal charges, one of which for mafia acts and falsehoods to reverse his electoral defeat in Georgia. There, in the Fulton County Jail, the former president and re-election candidate is expected to be released today on $200,000 bail after surrendering to arrest and arraignment, and a no-again intimidation ban witnesses and other people involved in the case.
Trump will appear before the judicial and police authorities for his 13 charges in the Georgia case hours after his latest and not insignificant humiliation to the party, consisting of boycotting the first debate between Republican candidates in the primaries for the presidential elections of 2024. The debate, organized by Fox, was to be held last night in Milwaukee with the participation of 8 candidates, including the governor of Florida and second in the polls, Ron DeSantis, the entrepreneur and strong rival, Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Vice President Mike Pence.
The former president and pluri-impeached candidate confirmed yesterday, as always on his Truth Social network, his intention to counterprogram this debate by broadcasting online at the same time, 9 p.m. on the East Coast, the interview that recording a few days ago with the famous far-right presenter Tucker Carlson, expelled from Fox in April. “Sparks will fly. Enjoy,” Trump wrote after confirming the interview. And the message of a follower who offered a link to see her through Telegram bounced.
The former president had explained why he would not intervene in the confrontation with other candidates. “People know who I am and know about my successful presidency, which is one of the best in history. Therefore, why did I have to go to the debate?”.
Trump and his ilk wanted to eclipse the official Republican debate by all means, but not without taking advantage of the debate itself. To that end, some of his most prominent fans, among them the Ultra Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, planned to go to Milwaukee to cheer him on from inside or outside the Fox studio.
Crazy as it may seem, and it may be, the ex-president’s humiliation of his party will be consummated today when he is arrested and booked into the Fulton jail, for crimes that could cost him decades in prison. prison It is clear that the scene will absolutely cover the news spaces of the day, leaving almost no time for the reproduction and analysis of the speeches and proposals that their rivals have unleashed in last night’s debate.
The leader alluded to this appearance with a couple of sentences that sought to reverse the terms of the Georgia case, supported by an avalanche of evidence and testimony about his attempts, hand in hand with 18 collaborators and now co-accused, of rigging the 2020 election. Using the third person to refer to himself, the former president wrote: “No one has fought for election integrity like President Trump. To do so, he will proudly be arrested tomorrow afternoon in Georgia. God bless the United States of America!”
More laughs from Trump, this time on the verge of a new arrest for his fourth criminal charge in less than half a year.
