SCHNECKSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump on Saturday lit into New York prosecutors and the criminal hush money case they brought against him during his last rally before what he called a “communist show trial” begins Monday. “I will be forced to sit fully gagged. I’m not allowed to talk. They want to take away my constitutional right to talk,” said Trump, who has been barred from publicly discussing potential witnesses and jurors but not the judge or prosecutors.

“I’m proud to do it for you,” Trump told a crowd in northeast Pennsylvania. “Have a good time watching.”

He went after Judge Juan M. Merchan, whom he called “corrupt,” and District Attorney Alvin Bragg, declaring himself a victim of Democrats bent on blocking his return to the White House.

Jury selection starts Monday in New York in his trial where he is charged with seeking during his 2016 campaign to bury stories about extramarital affairs by arranging hush money payments. It will be the first criminal trial ever of a former U.S. president. And it will limit Trump’s availability on the campaign trail, though he is expected to speak to the media after court often and has for months fundraised and campaigned on the felony charges he faces.

Lock him up.

[DemocraticPatriot]

1. Screw locking him up. May 'an act of god' strike him down!!

[cstanleytech]

2. He wants to be locked up as he wants the publicity to rally his supporters.

What he needs to do is be forced to pay a huge as fine so as to avoid giving him what he really wants or better yet to have one of his real properties seized though that last one won't happen.

3. He Told His MAGA's ''Have A Good Time Watching" - Won't He Be Surprised That.....

it won't be televised. Maybe even disappointed.

5. The "I'm proud to do it for you" needs to be challenged.

He is only concerned about himself.

6. He will he hiding behind the tv blackout

of the hush money trial. Pretending it’s a kangaroo court, hoping to keep his maggats enthralled, but meanwhile all sorts of ridiculously embarrassing things will be coming out in the news about the size and shape and ineffectualness of his mushroom manhood as this case drags on and on while he can’t hold his hair furor rallies. This is a wonderful way to watch him squirm in a ball-gag straitjacket frenzy.
