Some users pointed out that Trump, not being in office at the time, was acting as a civilian and not a sitting president, making the call even more unsettling.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s request to pause the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in order to assess an “unprecedented circumstance” has sparked a firestorm of reactions. The move, while seemingly intended to ensure a fair and thorough investigation, has been met with a mix of outrage, resignation, and even a touch of morbid humor.
Many critics see Smith’s request as a sign of weakness, a capitulation to Trump’s penchant for manipulating the legal system to his advantage.

They point to the numerous allegations against Trump, including his alleged involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot and his handling of classified documents, as evidence that a swift resolution is necessary.… Continue reading
Following Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory, a surge in wealthy Americans seeking to leave the United States has been observed. A high-net worth investment consultancy reported a fivefold increase in inquiries about emigration in the 24 hours after the election result was announced.

Elon Musk participated in a call between President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the day after the election. The inclusion of Musk, known for his pro-Trump stance and his role in providing Starlink internet service to Ukraine, raises questions about his potential influence in the new administration. Musk’s Starlink service has been a valuable asset to the Ukrainian military but his relationship with Ukraine has become strained due to his concerns about the cost of providing the service and reports of its use by Russian forces. Additionally, Musk’s interactions with Russian officials and his reported “regular contact” with Vladimir Putin have raised national security concerns.

The fate of Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts in New York will be determined next week, with a judge deciding whether to grant his request to dismiss the case. If the judge upholds the conviction, Trump will face sentencing later this month, a move that would be unprecedented in American history. While the judge is unlikely to sentence Trump to jail time due to his status as a sitting president, his legal team is expected to seek delays and appeals. This case, unlike federal charges against Trump, remains a significant legal hurdle due to the unique complexities of sentencing a sitting president and the lack of presidential pardon power in state cases.

The appointment of Jeffrey Davis, a former clerk for Justice Neil Gorsuch and self-proclaimed “Trump’s viceroy,” as a potential head of the Justice Department signifies a dangerous shift in the department’s direction. Davis’s lack of restraint and his aggressive stance against special counsel Jack Smith, who investigated Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, are clear indicators of his intent to use the DOJ for retribution and political maneuvering. This appointment, coupled with the departure of many conservative lawyers who refused to participate in Trump’s efforts to subvert the law, highlights the growing influence of MAGA loyalists within the Justice Department, a trend that poses a significant threat to the rule of law and democratic institutions.

Fox News co-hosts Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld expressed support for the death penalty for prosecutors involved in Donald Trump’s various criminal cases. These remarks came amidst the news that the Department of Justice plans to wind down Trump’s federal cases before his inauguration. While acknowledging that Trump’s legal battles did not impede his presidential victory, Perino suggested that these cases actually galvanized his base, potentially contributing to his success. Notably, Trump’s legal troubles extend beyond the federal level, with ongoing state cases in New York and Georgia, for which he cannot pardon himself.
