A viral TikTok has resurfaced of a Donald Trump speech from 2016 in which he declared that a "sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial" would "grind government to a halt.” The former president was speaking about Hillary Clinton at a rally in North Carolina. The Democrat was not indicted and did not face a criminal trial over using a private email server during her time as secretary of state to Barack Obama.

        Or to paraphrase the man himself:

          I better use some [handcuffs] just in case I start [committing crime]. You know I’m automatically attracted to [committing crime]—I just start [doing] them. It’s like a magnet. Just [crime]. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the [judicial system]. You can do anything.

      Definitely he’ll use the 2nd. It’s like the “You’ll never see me again if I lose” all over again. It doesn’t count, since he didn’t lose!

      Easy deflection of it was a kangaroo court, a sham, not real. Which is what he is already saying

        “any court that doesn’t let me off scott-free from my multitude of cimes is obviously rigged!”
