Donald Trump is doubling down on his claim that he was the target of an assassination attempt.
Donald Trump is now looping his baseless conspiracies into his fundraising emails.
On Monday, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee escalated his claims that President Joe Biden authorized the FBI to shoot and kill him during its 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, this time promising to punish his two-time opponent for the alleged assassination attempt.
“Biden’s day of reckoning is coming,” the Trump campaign wrote in a fundraising email distributed Monday. “He tried to publicly torture and humiliate me … but he failed. He tried to raid my home and take me out with deadly force … but he failed.”
Aren't Trump's lawyers currently arguing in front of the supreme court that it would have been perfectly legal for Biden to do so, him being immune from all criminal prosecution while president?
Biden unironically said "no one is approved the law" just a few weeks after saying Israel doesn't have to stop their genocide because of international law, and the real problem was the ICC warrants.
Why do you expect more from trump than Biden?
We can't even expect more from Biden than trump these days...
That's the natural result of using "not worse than trump" as the standard.
As stupid as this sounds, there is no irony is saying “no one is above the law” about an American in America while simultaneously saying the ICC and international law don’t apply/matter. In the US we have a legal system that everyone within our declared boundaries has to follow. The ICC and international law is something countries could/can sign for, and choose to follow as they please. In fact, the ICC issued a warrant for Vladimir Putin and several of the signatories (the largest being South Africa) simply said they wouldn’t follow the law and arrest him. It’s a piece of paper with no legal or military enforcement. Countries can simply choose to ignore the ICC and international law.
It was all over Lemmy and the media in general less than a week ago...
You could have typed it into any search engine and got a bunch of results in the time it took you to type that comment, and you wouldn't have needed to wait 10 minutes for me to do that for you...
President Joe Biden on Friday said that Donald Trump’s conviction in the hush money trial reaffirmed “the American principle that no one is above the law.”
That is not a factual statement though...
Lots of Americans are above our legal system.
I can't believe an American thinks differently in 2024 just because Biden said it.
That's incredibly concerning if you legitimately believe that's true.
This was the exception, not the rule, literally the first time ever an expresident was found guilty of some of their crimes they committed while president.
Yeah, I upvoted most of your comments too. Lots of rich and political people have gotten away with crimes forever. Its always an anomaly when a Martha Stewart or a Bernie Madoff ends up in jail
