Ever since former president Trump’s third arraignment—he’s currently charged with 78 felonies—his MAGA fans argue he should not be prosecuted because he:
Is innocent.
Is a victim of the “two-tiered” system of justice in the United States.
Is a victim of the “deep state” submerged in the government.
Is a victim of the “weaponized” Department of Justice.
Sincerely believes he won the 2020 presidential election.
Does not always mean what he says, and vice versa.
Relies on the advice of his lawyers.
Can say anything anywhere to anyone under the First Amendment.
Trump himself claims that:
Prosecuting him now is “interference” with the presidential election and “persecution of a political opponent.”
Tanya Chutkan, the assigned judge, is biased.
He can’t get a fair trial in Washington, D.C., but he can in “more diverse” West Virginia.
This is the “criminalization of political speech.”
U.S. prosecutor Jack Smith is a “depraved,” “deranged” “lunatic.”
And, anyway, what about Joe Biden? What about Hunter Biden? What about Hillary? What about Obama?
Mr. Trump and his MAGAs must believe their fellow citizens are morons.

Poster child for Trump Derangement Syndrome, enabled by an obedient and compliant media. It used to be humorous – now it’s just sad.
Trump had no empathy? Imagine if he had said “No comment” in response to questions about the Maui wildfire disaster- after spending several hours dozing on a beach! He would have been diagnosed a sociopath.
Trump was a liar? Too funny in light of the lies and stories we hear every day from this administration.
Trump was bad for the economy? Americans are spending an average of over $700 more per month than two years ago.
Trump was lazy and played too much golf? The current resident has now spent over a year of his term on vacation and by all indications, they aren’t working vacations. Most of us had never heard of “calling a lid” – now it’s a common occurrence.
Bottom line, Americans had an old man with cognitive issues foisted on them (you’ll never convince me he got 81 million votes) and he is incapable of the job. He has no idea what is being done in his name if it’s not on a cheat sheet or teleprompter. But sure, you keep bashing Trump – takes the spotlight on the heinous job “your guy” is doing. Step aside, Jimmy Carter.

As I said, MAGAs must think the rest of us are fools.
