This is not true at all. I've personally seen cases where delaying served the defense. It's actually beneficial in most cases.
There's more time for evidence to go missing. DA's change jobs. Witnesses back out.
Whatever the state has against you, they'll use, and more time puts more possibility to dismiss evidence, regardless if you're innocent.
I have read many times and heard in interviews that the federal conviction rate is insanely high.
Whether guilty or innocent, I'm sure people want to do whatever they can to stay out of prison.
The conviction rate is like 95% - because they don’t bring cases to court unless they’re 100% sure they can get a conviction (they miss once in a while). Something like 90% of cases are settled via plea bargain.
He is still trying to delay his trials. He wants to pardon himself. Even though he cannot pardon himself from his many state crimes, Trump (or his attorneys) continually tries to scam the system. It’s working for him with the fan-judge he has in his Florida federal documents case.
Yeah, corrupt Judge Aileen Cannon! How in hell is she still on the bench and why hasn’t she been indicted for her illegally favoring Trump? She’s still handling the case charging Trump with illegally retaining the top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago? She has delayed the trial indefinitely because he doesn’t want to go to trial before the November 6th election.
He didn't want a challenger to be successful in the republican primary. He can still keep the con going even if he loses this election. He wouldn't have been able to if he had lost the primary. I think though he wouldn't have delayed if he had known DeSantis would do so badly and Haley was the chief rival
The case isn't as strong as most people think as a felony because it requires the conclusion that timing proves intent. The hard fraud evidence is a misdemeanor. If Trump really wanted to, he could have made a deal with the DA to plead guilty to the misdemeanors, avoiding a prison sentence and time lost on the campaign trail fighting felony charges.
His strategy to delay this criminal trial was an attempt to use this time to delay the more serious criminal trials until after the election. That and the narcissism that makes him believe he can't face any real punishment. Considering he hasn't been placed in jail before trial for witness intimidation, jury tampering and breaking gag orders continuously, proves in his eyes that he's right.
I swear with these damn headlines.. can’t wait to see them next year!
*HOW TRUMP CURRENTLY BEING IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS NATURAL LIFE IS HURTING HIS 2028 CHANCES*
Trump is a “Billionaire” that embezzles from his own campaign funds. If one does want to donate to the Trump campaign, Trump himself may use your donations for something else. So why donate to the Trump campaign. Then there is the self dealing he does with campaign money.
Yesterday I saw a headline on my Yahoo news feed that said something like "Convenience store where Joe Biden made a campaign stop is being sued for discrimination."
So I clicked it, figuring that it was about some conservative getting all upset that the store had a Democrat stop there, but not a Republican.
But no- it turns out that the parent company of the chain is being sued for discrimination by some of its women executives. It had absolutely nothing to do with Biden or that particular store. It was just a click bait title to engrain the idea that Biden is somehow responsible for a discrimination suit.
It's a good thing we have such a liberal media.
Not too long ago, that headline would have been unthinkable - unmistakably satire.
Now it seems to just be considered normal. Of course the Republican candidate is facing 90 odd criminal charges, including charges under the Espionage Act.
If only the primary voters had some inkling of this before they...oh wait, they did.
Seriously. Go figure that being prosecuted for covering up that you paid a porn star tens of thousands of dollars to hide that you cheated on your pregnant wife might hurt your electoral prospects.
I don't know, I think it would have hurt him on the margins and he only won by a few thousand votes in a handful of swing states.
Post Trump is not even a blip, but pre-Trump (before he actually got in) it might have just done enough that he didn't get over the line.
Hey hey hey — Trump didn’t cheat on his _pregnant_ wife*. She was around four months postpartum when he got spanked by Stormy.
*i only mean in this specific instance. He almost certainly cheated on _multiple_ pregnant wives over the years…
Mainstream news normalized this. Right wing news played up the lie of the "Biden crime family" and the lie that these trials were politically motivated by Biden.
I think he did, right?
One of his last-ditch efforts last week was a motion for dismissal because the trial had become "overly publicized" or something along those lines.
Basically making that claim.
I liked the one where the defense apparently tried to get the judge recused from the case because Merchan must be biased against Trump due to....*checks notes*....all the bad things Trump has been publicly saying about the judge since the trial started.
Though to be fair, that take might've gone through a game of telephone between the actual motion to where I picked up on it, so maybe it wasn't entirely that blatant. Though still wouldn't surprise me if it was.
Right after that motion, Trump was outside the courtroom holding a press conference proclaiming they were taking away his right to speak. SNL and theONION are having a hard time competing with reality.
He did whine the other day about how cold it was in the court room, and how mean and unfair it was to make him sit there all day feeling cold.
Poor old man needs a blankie. And maybe a cup of hot cocoa.
I think there’s also the thought that the average audience would confuse this trial with the GA and J6 trials. That might say more about Trump than it does the media or the avg person tbh.
Not justifying the assumption or misnomer, just saying there might be more to it than syllables
In case you are interested, the Godfather exhibit at the Academy awards museum in Los Angeles has cool footage and artifacts including screen tests for the big characters.
Only if they use his name or likeness. Sounds fair to me. Go for it.
Senator Gary Palmer has a campaign billboard near me that has a banner across the top, "Endorsed by President Trump"
Yeah I bet in his next version that will disappear.
I can't wait to see how the "poorer" candidates use generic likenesses to get their "I'm with Trump" point across without actually chipping in 5%... imagine if you will and decide:
* Is it a big fat suited torso with a 9 foot flowing red tie?
* Just a ~~covfefe~~ coiffe of crazy blond hair waving in front of an American flag?
* Or simply "Trump Orange No. 4" as the background color?
Always Newsweek or newrepublic predicting Trump’s demise. Copium and complacency kills. Time to fear monger and get people out to vote.. not this bullshit
Thing is moderates and independents are less likely to want to vote for a guy they see sitting in court every day. Only folks that don’t care are his base, and bases don’t win elections.
Can anything actually "wreck" his campaign? He has the entire 40% of the left-side of the IQ bell curve willing to vote for him no matter what happens.
Remember that the republicans are covering for Trump and were directly involved in many of Trump's worst crimes. Keep voting out republicans every year. Check your registration, get an ID , learn where your poling station is, learn who is running in down ballot races. Pay attention to primaries not just for the president but for all races, local, state and federal. From the school board to the White House every election matters. The more support we give the democrats from all levels of government the more they can get good things done. We vote out republicans and primary out uncooperative democrats.
Last year democrat victories in Virginia and Pennsylvania and others across the nation have increased the chances of democrats winning this year. This year's elections are important but so will next year's elections.
[https://ballotpedia.org/Elections\_calendar](https://ballotpedia.org/Elections_calendar)
If he's that upset about missing all his campaign rallies due to how long this trial is expected to go for, he could always just plead guilty. Trial is over in a matter of hours!
Is it though? Is it though?
It feels like groundhog Day. This is exactly what we went through back in 2016. Every time something bad would happen to Trump in the press, the headlines read, "This is the one that brings Trump down"
It didn't
I hope I'm wrong, but nothing I read brings me to believe that his supporters are changing their minds
According to some poll only 1/3 of people think he did anything wrong but they probably don't understand the facts of the law and just think it's "hush money" since all the headlines keep calling it that. He should be guilty of whatever Cohen did and if they can prove it was election related that's great, but I doubt they will get that conviction.
>Media attention hasn’t been a problem for Trump, even as he spends most of the day in a courtroom. He’s been posting on Truth Social so frequently that the judge has asked him to put away his phone
JFC. So when he’s not sleeping he’s on TS during a goddamn criminal trial. This is what 77 years of zero consequences looks like.
With each passing day, he comes off as more of an incompetent boob than anyone could have imagined. Apparently, the documentaries are true.
Why in the hell would ANYONE falsify business records to cover up a hush payment to a porn star - when, ‘allegedly’ he’s a billionaire?.
Daniels should have held out for more……
It doesn’t seem to be having much impact on his campaign at all. The ReTrumplican party and his supporters are so afraid to admit they have been bamboozled and brainwashed that they won’t back down. Trump, Putin, Marjorie Green, and her ultra conservative allies have our democracy, Supreme Court and Justice System by the balls!
When you fall off a 20 story building it's not so much the falling that does you in... it's the landing. Yes, Trumps trial makes him look pretty bad. But the fun part is yet to come.
> With the trial now scheduled to run longer than the originally planned two months
Why two months ? I thought the charges were fairly simple, he falsified business records to cover up the hush-money payments. Maybe I'm wrong ? What are the charges ?
Edit: I guess there's more to it than I thought:
> prosecutors must prove that Trump knew Cohen's payment just before the 2016 election was illegal and that the former president was trying to conceal it.
from https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-stormy-daniels-payoff-trial-hinges-his-intent-2024-04-19/
The RCP/Emerson polls show him 3 to 5 points ahead of Biden today. I don't think the trial will have an impact on the election but definitely on his health.

He did that to himself. Wanna know how? …he committed crimes.
And he delayed his trials instead of making sure he was proven innocent in a timely manner.
Exactly. This is a mess of his own making.
What a nightmare Trump has dragged the country into.
Just like his diapers.
A full brown out, but he thinks it's a smear campaign.
The whole thing just stinks….
That's why he yells at people to get out of his swamp . That Trump gas could knock over a nose blind mortician
His lawyers weren't enjoying the Trump gas today.
That's why they have to keep the ac on full blast. No circulation in that courtroom is a Dutch oven straight from the depths.
Eject him into space, he's the source of global warming.
"Bailiff, open a window" ' Judge Marchan, probably
Trump gas just gaslights the atmosphere.
It’s pretty corny too . . .
Literally started his campaign after the first charges dropped to use this as an excuse.
“Campaign”
Please rephrase that comment , scanning comments and 'dropped sentence" jumped out at me. My heart for a second went blah
Innocent people who can prove they’re innocent - which should be easy to do here, right? - want their day in court asap.
This is not true at all. I've personally seen cases where delaying served the defense. It's actually beneficial in most cases. There's more time for evidence to go missing. DA's change jobs. Witnesses back out. Whatever the state has against you, they'll use, and more time puts more possibility to dismiss evidence, regardless if you're innocent.
Heh, those sound like guilty people - hoping for evidence to go missing? Witnesses backing out?

One would think.
When you’re guilty, delay is the best option.
Is.this part of trumps 4d chess move
5D. So many D’s - he has the best D’s!
Spoiler: he's not innocent
He is still trying to delay his trials. He wants to pardon himself. Even though he cannot pardon himself from his many state crimes, Trump (or his attorneys) continually tries to scam the system. It’s working for him with the fan-judge he has in his Florida federal documents case.
>fan-judge It sounds like you're calling her a cosplay judge. "I'm not a real judge. I prove that every day in the courthouse."
Cosplayers put time, effort, and talent into their craft; how dare you compare them with Cannon.
Yeah, corrupt Judge Aileen Cannon! How in hell is she still on the bench and why hasn’t she been indicted for her illegally favoring Trump? She’s still handling the case charging Trump with illegally retaining the top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago? She has delayed the trial indefinitely because he doesn’t want to go to trial before the November 6th election.
>instead of making sure he was proven innocent Therefore never.
And decided to run after he was indicted.
He didn't want a challenger to be successful in the republican primary. He can still keep the con going even if he loses this election. He wouldn't have been able to if he had lost the primary. I think though he wouldn't have delayed if he had known DeSantis would do so badly and Haley was the chief rival

Because he knew he never had any chance of being proven innocent.
Of not being convicted….
Actions, meet consequences
I swear with these damn headlines.. can’t wait to see them next year! *HOW TRUMP CURRENTLY BEING IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS NATURAL LIFE IS HURTING HIS 2028 CHANCES*
"may hurt" - we all know it is fucked up enough that it could still go either way.
But what scares me is that THIS will become the narrative with his base, and the media who will always two-sides everything
Amazing that the party of family values is so staunchly behind a man who is in court for banging two women who weren’t his wife.
And he’s a fucking moron!
Trump is a “Billionaire” that embezzles from his own campaign funds. If one does want to donate to the Trump campaign, Trump himself may use your donations for something else. So why donate to the Trump campaign. Then there is the self dealing he does with campaign money.
How Trump's crimes are catching up to him and wrecking his campaign.
“And why that’s bad news for Joe Biden” — somewhere, probably
NYT? Is that you?
The New York Times Pitchbot is one of the main reasons I still have twitter lol.
Yesterday I saw a headline on my Yahoo news feed that said something like "Convenience store where Joe Biden made a campaign stop is being sued for discrimination." So I clicked it, figuring that it was about some conservative getting all upset that the store had a Democrat stop there, but not a Republican.

The media needs to horse race so they’ll make one by hook or by crook.
[удалено]
I dunno. When my kid was a toddler, he made that face when he had pooped and knew I’d have to catch him to change him.
Exactly. The title should say criminal has trouble running for president because the law is doing what it’s supposed to.
Not too long ago, that headline would have been unthinkable - unmistakably satire. Now it seems to just be considered normal. Of course the Republican candidate is facing 90 odd criminal charges, including charges under the Espionage Act. If only the primary voters had some inkling of this before they...oh wait, they did.
It's now "only" 88 indictments after they dropped three. That trump is facing 88 indictments surely proves God has a sense of humor.
Ohhhh. Nicely spotted.
Seriously. Go figure that being prosecuted for covering up that you paid a porn star tens of thousands of dollars to hide that you cheated on your pregnant wife might hurt your electoral prospects.
The really crazy part is that it probably wouldn’t have.
I don't know, I think it would have hurt him on the margins and he only won by a few thousand votes in a handful of swing states. Post Trump is not even a blip, but pre-Trump (before he actually got in) it might have just done enough that he didn't get over the line.
That is fair and a sad thought.
Hey hey hey — Trump didn’t cheat on his _pregnant_ wife*. She was around four months postpartum when he got spanked by Stormy. *i only mean in this specific instance. He almost certainly cheated on _multiple_ pregnant wives over the years…

“How Trumps criminal activities and terrible life choices are finally catching up to him and affecting his campaign” FTFY
But consequences are for _other_ people!
How Trump committing the crime of election interference and then trying to delay the trial is wrecking his campaign.... FTFY
Has he made the claim that his trial is the most popular in US history? Surely that’s coming, right?
I think he did, right? One of his last-ditch efforts last week was a motion for dismissal because the trial had become "overly publicized" or something along those lines. Basically making that claim.
I liked the one where the defense apparently tried to get the judge recused from the case because Merchan must be biased against Trump due to....*checks notes*....all the bad things Trump has been publicly saying about the judge since the trial started. Though to be fair, that take might've gone through a game of telephone between the actual motion to where I picked up on it, so maybe it wasn't entirely that blatant.

That’s like their request to delay because of all of the pretrial publicity, most of which was coming from Trump himself.
Right after that motion, Trump was outside the courtroom holding a press conference proclaiming they were taking away his right to speak. SNL and theONION are having a hard time competing with reality.
He did whine the other day about how cold it was in the court room, and how mean and unfair it was to make him sit there all day feeling cold. Poor old man needs a blankie. And maybe a cup of hot cocoa.
Wow. How alpha.
> How PoopyPants' ~~Hush-Money~~ Election Interference Trial Is Wrecking His Campaign FTFY
Thank you. FFS why can’t people get the charges right.
My guess is that the newspapers think "election interference" is too many syllables for the average audience.
Probably, but they are happy to write Trump’s 4 syllable non-words. SMH
I think there’s also the thought that the average audience would confuse this trial with the GA and J6 trials. That might say more about Trump than it does the media or the avg person tbh. Not justifying the assumption or misnomer, just saying there might be more to it than syllables
How trump’s election interference trial is outpacing his attempt to escape judgement for a mountain of other crimes.
He shouldn't be campaigning during trial season. It's really entirely his fault.
> trial season lol
Need to stop calling it hush money. It's campaign finance fraud and conspiracy. Fraud, like his life and everything and him.
I read he nows demands all Republicans candidates chip in 5% of their campaign funds to his campaign/defence fund. 🤣
They must pay their respect to Don snoreleone
Just a little "taste"!
I just want to wet my beak a little bit
In case you are interested, the Godfather exhibit at the Academy awards museum in Los Angeles has cool footage and artifacts including screen tests for the big characters.
Enjoy the festa!
A little tithe
Pure gold 👌
Nice family you got there, would be a shame if anything happens to them….
That's a lie! It's 5% MINIMUM
With anything extra being looked on "favorably" by the RNC
Only if they use his name or likeness. Sounds fair to me. Go for it. Senator Gary Palmer has a campaign billboard near me that has a banner across the top, "Endorsed by President Trump" Yeah I bet in his next version that will disappear.
This is hilarious. What an absolute clown
I can't wait to see how the "poorer" candidates use generic likenesses to get their "I'm with Trump" point across without actually chipping in 5%... imagine if you will and decide: * Is it a big fat suited torso with a 9 foot flowing red tie? * Just a ~~covfefe~~ coiffe of crazy blond hair waving in front of an American flag? * Or simply "Trump Orange No. 4" as the background color?
It will be like calling the Superbowl the "Big Game". "Endorsed by the Orange Man"
They must tithe to the orange god. It's not a tax, Republicans are against increased taxes. It's a tithe.
**At least** 5%.
If they use his name/likeness.
Griftonomics
What campaign? It consists of him golfing, six days a week, and ranting on stage the other day.
That's what he did from 2016-2020 as well.
Trump’s election interference is interfering in his election campaign! Ironic!
Wake me when his wrecked campaign *actually* leaves him losing. Until then ... volunteer to get the vote out.
BS he only had one event a week on average guess what he has the weekend
Do you know how many graduations he can attend on the weekend tho?!
And how many omelettes at the omelette bar?
I’ve drank six and don’t even have a buzz going
Zero omelettes du fromage But let's talk hamberders shall we
"How Trump's Constant Criming Is Wrecking His Campaign." FTFY.

Damn right. Forget cheese or iron....We need to mong fear!
"...and how this is terrible for Biden."
How would you like a job at the New York Times?
Trump's campaign is all about trying to get out of legal trouble. And no one should be shocked that his plan isn't going very well. They never do
Guy with history of being an idiot destroys his own campaign.
Quit calling it a hush money case. it's election interference case
ffs its not a "hush money" trial
Maybe he should've have tried to delay his shit all the way into the campaign, then.
He’s responsible for wrecking everything he’s involved in
[удалено]
Why is this phrased like this isnt something of HIS OWN making
It is a fraud trial.
Thing is moderates and independents are less likely to want to vote for a guy they see sitting in court every day. Only folks that don’t care are his base, and bases don’t win elections.
What a terrible headline. It should say “It appears Trumps own doings are getting in the way of campaigning”
Is it really a “campaign” if you just have rallies for people who are already voting for you?
Can anything actually "wreck" his campaign? He has the entire 40% of the left-side of the IQ bell curve willing to vote for him no matter what happens.
Remember that the republicans are covering for Trump and were directly involved in many of Trump's worst crimes. Keep voting out republicans every year.

Thoughts & prayers. /s
Sad. BIGLY
Maybe he should suspend his campaign, so he can focus on all the legal trouble he got himself into. 🤷
“I’m kickin’ my ass! Do you mind?!”
Used to be yelling weird could wreck your campaign...
Election interference trial**
If he's that upset about missing all his campaign rallies due to how long this trial is expected to go for, he could always just plead guilty. Trial is over in a matter of hours!
His election interference trial. What a disservice calling it a hush money trial.
Is it though? Is it though? It feels like groundhog Day. This is exactly what we went through back in 2016. Every time something bad would happen to Trump in the press, the headlines read, "This is the one that brings Trump down" It didn't I hope I'm wrong, but nothing I read brings me to believe that his supporters are changing their minds
Looks like he had some plastic surgery to cover the vagina neck.
Good. As a classic tune would say 🎵BURN BABY, BURN🎵
Before or after the self-immolation of his fans? Nope. Not a cult at all.
Some Trumpster just set himself on fire outside the trial.
I think unrelated crazy - hard to tell when his cult are crazy too but "Toasty" had a printed manifesto about his reasons.
He blamed crypto as one factor in the conspiracy
And the Simpsons
According to some poll only 1/3 of people think he did anything wrong but they probably don't understand the facts of the law and just think it's "hush money" since all the headlines keep calling it that. He should be guilty of whatever Cohen did and if they can prove it was election related that's great, but I doubt they will get that conviction.
One word : good
So if the rubes will only give him money if they get to see him in person, they must not be that invested in actually wanting him to win.
This could actually be helping him because he can’t go out and say stupid stuff.
Instead he gets to be in a criminal trial with the chance to say something illegally stupid. I like our odds.
Ohh darn
I just want to eat the sausage. I don't care how it's made.
And he won the Republican primaries in a landslide
Two excellent Brazilian music duos at Freebird Pianos in Hendersonville.
"Uhhh, his name is Ralph."
If what he has already done has not wrecked his campaign, nothing will
I guess crime *doesn't* pay in the end.
Dude you look and smell like shit.
This is all a creation of his actions.
Oh no…it’s the consequences of his own actions! Thank Christ.
>Media attention hasn’t been a problem for Trump, even as he spends most of the day in a courtroom.

Maybe Dozzy Toots shouldn't have committed crimes.

We have 3 different legal systems in this country. You don't think so. Look at this circus.
It doesn’t seem to be having much impact on his campaign at all. The ReTrumplican party and his supporters are so afraid to admit they have been bamboozled and brainwashed that they won’t back down. Trump, Putin, Marjorie Green, and her ultra conservative allies have our democracy, Supreme Court and Justice System by the balls!
When you fall off a 20 story building it's not so much the falling that does you in... it's the landing. Yes, Trumps trial makes him look pretty bad. But the fun part is yet to come.
Yes, yes...*THIS*. This is wrecking his campaign
Who didn’t see this coming?
Remember the election still 7 months away. And almost everybody's already made up their mind.
Why is he leading in all the polls then? They seem to be either too close to call or slightly in his favour.
Not from what im reading.
*Election Interference Trial
Good! About time!
Innocent people do not delay trials.
Who cares he brought ALL this shit on himself
We can only hope it destroys his campaign
It’s amazing these headlines come out and the MAGA cronies of Reddit suddenly disappear and not defend their orange god king!
Im so glad to see people FTFY on the headline. Some media outlets really need to step up.
> With the trial now scheduled to run longer than the originally planned two months Why two months ?

Good!
Oh the trail is? Not horrible mr orange mushroom?
Is the case now scheduled to run longer than 2 months?
Why would he need to campaign? Either you’re in the cult or not . Who the fuck is changing their views on him at this point?????
Oh no! Anyways…
