Poll: Donald Trump Leads Joe Biden Post-Mugshot

/0 Comments/in /by

Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in a national head-to-head matchup post-mugshot, the latest survey from the Economist/YouGov found.

The survey, taken August 26-29 among 1,500 U.S. adult citizens, asked respondents who they would vote for if the presidential election came down to Trump and Biden.

Overall, 44 percent said they would support Trump, compared to 43 percent who said Biden and seven percent who said “other.” Three percent said they were not sure, and another three percent said they would not vote.

Notably, the survey was taken after the public release of Trump’s Fulton County mugshot, which he posted on social media sites — including X, formerly known as Twitter — on August 24.

“ELECTION INTERFERENCE. NEVER SURRENDER!” the caption under the mugshot reads.

Arizona Secretary of State Says Trump Cannot Be Kept off State Ballot

/1 Comment/in , /by

Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes claimed Wednesday that he does not have the power to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot next year as critics argue Trump violated a constitutional amendment that would disqualify him.

Some legal scholars and critics of the former president claim Trump violated the 14th Amendment during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The amendment bars those who’ve taken an oath to support the Constitution from holding office again if they’ve “engaged in insurrection” against the United States or “given aid or comfort” to its enemies.

Fontes referred to a state Supreme Court ruling last year that determined the disqualification clause of the Constitution can only be enforced through Congress.

“Does a 25-year-old get to be on the ballot in Arizona for president?” Fontes asked the Arizona Republic. “According to the logic of the Arizona Supreme Court, they do. That having been said, can the Arizona Supreme Court be overturned? If somebody brings a lawsuit? Well, any law can be overturned in a judicial action. Now, I’m not inviting someone to sue me, although it probably will end up happening.” (Read more from “Arizona Secretary of State Says Trump Cannot Be Kept off State Ballot” HERE)

‘Call Back Trump’: Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán Praises Trump’s Foreign Policy in Interview With Tucker Carlson (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán praised former President Donald Trump’s foreign policy during an exclusive interview with Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson in Budapest.

Orbán, whose country borders Ukraine, said Russia never would have provoked war under Trump’s administration because of his foreign policy being the “best form for the world” in several decades. He called on President Joe Biden and the U.S. to make peace immediately with Russia.

“Call back Trump. That’s the only way out. Call back Trump,” Orbán said. “Because you know, you can criticize him for many reasons. I understand all the discussion. But the best foreign policy of the recent several decades belonged to him. He did not initiate any new war. He treated nicely the North Koreans and Russia, even the Chinese. You know, he delivered a policy which was the best one for Middle East, Abraham Accords. So he had very good foreign policy.”

“He’s [Trump] criticized because he’s not educated enough to understand the world politics. This is not the case,” Orbán told Carlson. “Facts count and his foreign policy was the best form for the world in the last several decades I have seen. And if he would have been the president at the moment the Russian invasion started, no, it would not be possible to do that by the Russians. So Trump is the man who can save the western world and probably the human beings in the world as well.”

Legal Experts Throw Cold Water on Judges’ Attempts to Silence Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump may retain the ability to openly discuss the cases in which he is a defendant regardless of the restrictions judges have imposed on him, legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Trump is facing four indictments, including in Georgia and Washington, D.C., pertaining to alleged 2020 election crimes, where judges have placed restrictions on his speech regarding the cases. However, it will be difficult to enforce the ordered limitations due to Trump’s presidential candidacy, as well as his relationships with the individuals involved in the cases, legal experts told the DCNF.

“The fact that he’s a presidential candidate absolutely gives him enhanced First Amendment protections,” Article III Project founder Mike Davis told the DCNF. “This is core political speech.”

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued an order on August 21 prohibiting the former president from engaging in any acts of “intimidation,” whether through direct or indirect means, aimed at witnesses and other parties associated with the Georgia case, according to a court document. The order includes Trump’s social media posts and even his reposts of other people’s content. Moreover, Trump cannot communicate directly about the facts of the case with any co-defendant except through legal counsel.

Additionally, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a protective order on August 11 to restrict Trump’s speech about “sensitive materials” in the Washington, D.C. indictment for his conduct related to the 2020 election. “Sensitive materials” often include witness interviews and recordings of conversations.

Why Trump’s Mugshot Is a Big Win for Trump

/10 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump’s mugshot will be the most trafficked photo in the history of planet Earth because social media is so ubiquitous.

Yesterday, he went to the Fulton County jailhouse where he was arrested and fingerprinted. They took his picture. The mugshot is now out.

It’s a win for Trump to have his mugshot taken. The Left thought it would be a win for them, but here’s the thing about Trump: Trump is a walking, living, breathing meme. He is made for TV. He is made for the Internet. He’s changed our age because of that.

It’s not as though no one knew he was arrested. It’s not as though it was a shock dawning on the American people that Donald Trump is under indictment in four separate jurisdictions. We’ve known about all of this for months.

What the mugshot does — especially this particular mugshot — is give Trump the appearance of somebody who is bravely standing up to forces that are going after him. (Read more from “Why Trump’s Mugshot Is a Big Win for Trump” HERE)

Biden Looks to Cash In on Trump’s Booking: ‘A Great Day to Give to My Campaign’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .At the moment former President Donald Trump was being booked, fingerprinted and photographed at an Atlanta jail, President Biden was fundraising for no reason whatever.

“Apropos of nothing,” wrote Mr. Biden’s official account on X, the social-media platform previously known as Twitter. “I think today’s a great day to give to my campaign.”

The tweet, which included a link to Act Blue to “donate to the Biden-Harris campaign to fight back against MAGA Republicans” was sent at 7:30 p.m.

At that moment, cable-news networks were following Mr. Trump’s travel to and from Fulton County Jail to be processed in his fourth indictment, for trying to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election result.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans condemned the arrest of former President Donald Trump on charges related to his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail to be booked after a grand jury indicted him Aug. 14, charging Trump and other associates, including Rudy Giuliani and attorneys Jenna Ellis, John Eastman and Sidney Powell. Trump is also facing two indictments from special counsel Jack Smith, who secured a four-count indictment of Trump relating to the 2020 election after he previously secured a 37-count indictment against Trump in June.

“Today is another dark day in U.S. history,” Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Georgia tweeted. “A day when We The People & the world, will witness the continued weaponization of the justice system against a political opponent, former POTUS, & leading candidate for the upcoming presidential election. This is a travesty of justice.”

“91 charges is what dictators do,” former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell posted. “Joe Biden has unleashed a blow back like never before. Trump 2024 – save our country from the corrupted elites.” (Read more from “‘Another Dark Day’: Republicans Condemn Trump Arrest on Fulton County Charges” HERE)

Donald Trump After Fulton County Arrest: This Is a ‘Travesty of Justice’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters shortly after surrendering into custody and being booked by Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. He declared that “What has taken place here is a travesty of justice.”

“I really believe this is a very sad day for America. This should never happen. You should be able to challenge an election. The election was a rigged election, the stolen election, and I should have every right to do that,” Trump told reporters.

Trump was booked on his fourth indictment in five months on Thursday after a Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury handed down a 98-page, 41-count indictment against Trump and 18 others.

Trump compared his situation to that of Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Georgia’s Stacey Abrams, who previously questioned the legitimacy of elections, yet never faced criminal prosecution. (Read more from “Donald Trump After Fulton County Arrest: This Is a ‘Travesty of Justice’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jason Miller claimed the first GOP primary debate would bring the end of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) presidential run. . .

“I heard someone earlier on the panel say Desanctimonious did OK. That’s not right,” Miller said on Meet the Press Wednesday. “We saw the death of Ron DeSantis’s campaign tonight as Vivek Ramaswamy leap-frogged him into second place. DeSantis, it didn’t do good enough for him to tread water. He had to have a breakout moment, and Ramaswamy completely outshone him. I knew President Trump wasn’t going to be there tonight. I didn’t know Ron DeSantis was going to skip the debate as well.” . . .

“President Trump looks like a genius by skipping the pig pile tonight,” Miller said. (Read more from “Jason Miller Predicts Debate Was ‘Death of Ron DeSantis’s Campaign’” HERE)
