    It’s pointless to try to pin him down like this, because his explanations are so incoherent. Is it a confession? Is it a denial? Who knows. It’s just word salad.

      My confession? The best, other confessions are wrong, mine is the only confession.

      Right - the prosecution is loving this. Finally Trump talking might actually make a difference.

    When he was originally told that he could discuss the case, I figured they were just lending him some rope….

    I feel like I’m watching a Shakespeare play with this dude FFS.

    He is everything I hate about myself and everyone all forced into a big dramatic reenactment on the world stage.

    He’s the Juice™️

    I laughed out loud reading his quote aloud.

    “Much much stuff”

    I’ve read the theory that he’s so fucked legally he’s just angling for a guarantee of a pardon from whoever beats him in the primary, if someone does; or otherwise a self-pardon.

      It’s a real danger. The first time anyone with an ( R ) next to their name wins the Presidency, he’s getting a pardon, maybe even posthumously.

      It’s not a danger because I think he’s a jackass, but because, by all evidence so far, he’s broken the law, and such an action would be — even if he is not proven guilty — conceding that some people in this country are above the law.

        There’s one thing though that might stop them.

        Pardoning him means having to run against him in the next election, regardless of age.
