Trump isn't getting advanced notice of witnesses because of his gag order violations.

Note:

Trump isn't getting advanced notice of witnesses because of his gag order violations. Apparently, this is his reaction after learning about what reportedly is a significant one on deck.

Because there is NO CONFLICT. The trial is proceeding as is with all trials, with due process, an eye toward the protection of the jury, the rights of the defendant, and as fair and impartial a process as possible. The fact that you use delay, distortion, and intimidation as weapons in the legal process is exactly why the trial is proceeding as it is. If you respected the rule of law and the legal process, you would have had your day in court, you could have hired more competent attorney's, and you would be able to be out on the campaign trail. YOU made this happen. YOU got gagged because you can't shut the fuck up and you talk shit about the judge's family, the family of other court officials, and you try to poison the jury pool and intimidate witnesses and jury members. The process is happening as it is because of YOUR actions.

You won't hear this though because you were never taught as a child, to have restraint and empathy. You were never taught that other people exist and that their needs and desires have as much right as your own. You were never taught that society only functions when people aren't trying to take everything for themselves. Society functions when we choose to share and choose to act in ways which balance our desires and our rights with the desires and rights of others. You have shown repeatedly that you would do massive harm to anyone, in order to get what you want, or avoid responsibility. You are antisocial. You don't belong in a functioning society but you have managed to connect with enough people that share your disorder that you continue to carry political and economic power.

The media isn't reporting on this the way you want them to because what you want them to do is lie, and while they certainly embellish, or bend the facts to sell more copy, most of them do not want to outright lie or spread your propaganda. Because of your twisted worldview, you actually see this as some kind of oppression. Real oppression is living in the richest country in the world and not being able to eat enough, or have a safe place to live. Real oppression is not being able to have autonomy over your own body and reproductive health. Real oppression is facing social stigma, job loss, and bodily danger because you are expressing your authentic identity or because of your skin color. You have NEVER known oppression Trump but at least for now, you are facing actual justice and you seem really scared. That makes me smile a little.

Pretty soon he will be complaining about the bad food in jail.

And how his fellow inmates are too friendly and want to visit him when the guards aren't looking.

And then he'll look at his jail cell wall and see the writing carved

into the wall that says: "Epstein slept here"

Let him rant. This is good!
