President Trump made a timely post on Truth Social earlier today on Presidents Day.
President Trump has a keen awareness of the mood of the country. On this Presidents' Day, America is hard to recognize. The deliberate actions of the American left, DC elites, legacy media, and technology conglomerates are turning the United States into a country that our founding fathers would not have recognized. Today, Joe Biden and his collaborators in the Obama administration have succeeded in turning America into a country that looks more like Chavez's Venezuela than Reagan's shining city on a hill.
Today Democrats have more than 91 lawfare charges brought against him by the radical left. The radical left wants to put Trump in prison to death. They want to keep him off the ballot. This is not America.
On Monday, President Trump released a statement and called this what it is – communism.
Trump, as usual, is absolutely right. The Democrats are pushing America into the deep, dark abyss of communism. You can't deny that. It's not just Donald Trump. They are targeting everyday Americans, the grandmothers who walked inside the open doors of the US Capitol, and the young people who nearly died on January 6 and now face criminal charges. Trump's closest advisors find themselves under attack. Its supporters, including this site, are being targeted by QAnon attacks in the hopes of destroying us all.
Trump was right. This is communism. The evils of communism are at work in this nation today.
President Donald Trump: All political prosecutions of your favorite president, me, must stop immediately. We are in the middle of an election, perhaps the most important election in the history of our country, and these crazy, far-left prosecutors and judges are not allowed to do that. Why didn't they start three years ago??? Because they wanted to interfere in the 2024 presidential elections, that's why! According to Section 9-85.500 of the Department of Justice's Justice Manual: “Prosecutors and federal agents may never choose the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of influencing any election, or for the purpose of influencing any election.” Giving advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party.” This is election interference, and it must stop immediately. I should not be subjected to any sham proceedings before the election. This is communism, a threat to democracy. Our country will not stand up to this. Make America Great Again!!!
Stephen Calabresi in Volokh conspiracy This is called the “Kafkaesque Civil Trial of President Trump in New York State.”
Donald Trump was ordered to pay a $355 million fine and was banned from doing business in New York State for three years. Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay up all of his $400 million in cash reserves, a fine that if upheld would force Trump to sell some of his real estate holdings to raise money to live on. Once interest is added to the total fine, it will rise to $450 million. All this is in addition to the $83.3 million fine that Trump must pay for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. The total fines could deprive Trump of between 11% and 13% of his wealth. Trump's two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, were also fined and banned from doing business in New York state for two years. Ivanka or Melania Trump could legally run Trump's business for the next two years, but Judge Engoron appointed retired US District Judge Barbara Jones to continue her role as “independent watchdog” of Trump's business empire but expanded her authority to review financial disclosures. Before providing it to third parties. Judge Jones could appoint an independent compliance director, and she has the power to force Trump to sell some or even all of his businesses in the future. All of this is punishment for Trump, who allegedly committed fraud by falsely inflating and deflating the value of his real estate assets to pay lower government taxes and obtain better loans from banks.
(…)
Ms. James and Judge Engeron have essentially turned a vaguely worded New York State law into a modern bill targeting Donald Trump for political gain and because they despise his political views and desperately want to call into question his sincerity as he runs for President of the United States in 2024.
In doing so, I violated
**Trump's First Amendment right to freedom of speech and press;
**His Fifth Amendment right not to be deprived of liberty or property without due process of law;
**His Fifth Amendment right not to have property taken from him except for public use with just compensation;
**His Eighth Amendment right not to pay an exorbitant fine;
** Article IV, Section 2, his right as a citizen of the State of Florida to enter into and perform contracts in New York on the same terms as other New Yorkers;
**And his Fourteenth Amendment right to be free to practice a profession without unnecessary and burdensome regulation.The civil fraud verdict against Donald Trump is a farce and an unjust political act unparalleled in American politics except by the murder of former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton at the hands of Vice President Aaron Burr. If New York State appellate courts do not overturn this ruling, the US Supreme Court must grant cert in this case and overturn Judge Engeron's egregious decisions. National presidential politics would be permanently changed if a state's legal system could be used in this way against candidates for President of the United States. This case raises a national issue of great importance, and if the New York State Courts of Appeals will not address it, the US Supreme Court must!
