Former President Donald Trump on Sunday called for recusal of the judge presiding over the federal case that alleges he illegally conspired to overturn his election loss to President Joe Biden in 2020.

    It is comforting to think of Trump as an idiot, and he may be, but don’t disregard that he has consistently shown that he is superb at manipulating systems. This strategy is the M.O. of the wealthy who can afford legal fees and cheat the system over and over and over again. Every one of these judicial ploys seems ridiculous in itself, but taken together, they show how he can just delay/bog down the system to HIS advantage. The courts have to play by the rules, were he does not. This guy will never serve time. The only way he would is if he pissed off OTHER WEALTHY PEOPLE.

        Anyone come to mind that you can mention? I know his history of scamming, but to my knowledge, he takes advantage of those in a less powerful position (e.g. construction companies, students, etc.)

      He’s not wealthy. Bro just hasn’t cashed out his losses yet.
