Trump would prefer the court to take up the case after the DC circuit rules – but he can’t oppose it and then make the same request later on

“ The problem for Trump is that his hands are tied. The former president would prefer the court to take up the case after the DC circuit rules because he’s eager to delay his impending trial as much as possible. But he can’t oppose the prosecutors’ request now and then make the same request in several months’ time.”

“And at the heart of the Trump legal team’s filing was the extraordinary contention that Trump both was entitled to absolute presidential immunity and that the immunity applied whether or not Trump intended to engage in the conduct described in the indictment.“

    Oh no. Let’s not injure his “150 million, at least, supporters”. You know when they wrote this for him he insisted they add the words “at least”.

      Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes. Trump won 74,222,958 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. That’s more votes than any other presidential candidate has ever won, with the exception of Biden. (Third-party candidates picked up 1.8 percent of the votes cast.)

      More than 159 million Americans voted in 2020: 159,633,396 to be exact.

      150 million at least??? Then why did you get only ~74M? God damn his lies have no boundary.
