Mary Trump, the psychotherapist, lesbian niece of Donald Trump, took to X last night to explain why yesterday was so bad for her uncle.
The former president saw several developments in his ongoing, multiple legal woes. Firstly, he had the bond reduced in his New York civil fraud trial from $464 million to £175 million. He’s also been granted an extra ten days to come up with the money.
That sounds like a major win but the original ruling still stands. Trump will still have to come up with all the money at some stage — unless he’s successful with his appeal. Yesterday’s ruling temporarily keeps prosecutors from seizing Trump’s assets, though.

However, according to Mary, overshadowing this is the other development yesterday. Despite Trump’s attempt to delay or have the case dismissed, a judge has set a date for his criminal trial relating to hush money transfers and Stormy Daniels.
It will be the first criminal trial of a former US president.
“Unmitigated disaster”
According to Mary, the chances of Trump being found guilty at a criminal trial have greater ramifications. She called yesterday’s events in the hush money case an “unmitigated disaster” for her uncle.
“As Donald sat in the courtroom, Judge Juan Merchan cut through his attempts to delay … and scolded Donald’s attorneys for accusing the Manhattan DA’s office of prosecutorial misconduct with zero evidence,” she said.
“As Merchan grew ‘uncharacteristically furious,’ Donald reportedly ‘stood and scowled.’
“Scowl harder, Donald,” said Mary.
Donald Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records. He denies the charges. Mary went on to detail why the case is becoming “Donald’s worst nightmare.”
“At the close of the hearing, and despite protests from Donald’s attorneys, Judge Juan Merchan set the trial to begin on April 15.
“Prosecutors have told the court they will need 15 to 17 days at minimum to present their case. Judge Merchan has already made it clear he won’t tolerate any unnecessary delays.
“What this really means is that today’s decision made it more likely that we will get a criminal verdict before the 2024 election, possibly with a few months to spare.
“Up to 53% of key swing state voters say they would refuse to vote for Donald if he were convicted of a criminal offense,” Mary said.
“While the media will tell you Donald won today, he actually faces a better chance of being convicted for a crime and being sentenced to prison before the election. That, in turn, makes it significantly less likely for him to win in November.”
Trump furious
Donald Trump was clearly furious with the judge’s decision. Afterward, speaking to reporters afterward, he slammed the court case as “election interference.”
“I don’t know how you can have a trial that’s going on right in the middle of an election. Not fair. Not fair. It’s not fair at all.”

Trump also said Judge Merchan, who is handling the hush money case, “cannot go fast enough. He wants to get it started so badly.”
Trump said he plans to appeal the April 15 start date. He also told reporters he would have “no problem testifying” if and when the trial commences.
Trump also posted numerous, rambling postings on Truth Social criticizing the judges and Attorney General involved with the multiple cases against him.
“Feeble, confused, and tired”
The Biden campaign reacted by calling the presumptive Republican nominee “weak and desperate” in a statement released Monday afternoon.
“Donald Trump is weak and desperate – both as a man and a candidate for President,” said Biden campaign spokesman James Singer,.
“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have.
“His campaign can’t raise money, he is uninterested in campaigning outside his country club, and every time he opens his mouth, he pushes moderate and suburban voters away with his dangerous agenda.
“America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

Of course, if Punkin’Head was really concerned about all the ‘political interference’ these court cases *obviously* are, and truly wanted what’s best for the country (not him), he could offer to step aside for a different Repugnicant candidate, and choose to run again in another four years – or whenever he’s released from jail (whichever comes first) – instead.
Baron Wiseman
Are you kidding me with this!?!
You just don’t get it. The ONLY reason President Trump is having to deal with all these court cases is because he is running for president. No campaign, no court cases. Thankfully, the American public sees right through the Democrats election interference scheme to bankrupt him or send him to jail for 700 years. Disgusting.

Baron, the only reason there are these court cases is because Don broke the law.
RIGay
So Don Cantgetaloane has been given 10 more days to work the ropes with his (foreign) supporters in an effort to raise the minimum bond to fund the appeal, and if he loses the appeal, he has to come up with the full $464M.
At what point do these “appeal” clocks run out? Though this is a NY STATE court, is he expecting all of them to rise to the SCOTUS for judgement? What are his chances of having the judgements thrown out? How soon until he demands that the SCOTUS intervene and stop all his trials “…because it’s in ELECTION SEASON!!”?
I am just so over watching this overgrown toddler with a $hit-filled diaper tear down our country… and that goes for his supporters, too. None of them have done one damn thing to make America great.
My2CentsWorth
The last sentence is one that many sane people fail to comprehend – the insane are the the supporters.
None of them seem to be doing anything to make the U. S. great. Supporting Trump and supporting the idiots who are in his camp is not makign the nation great.

You guys really need to check things before publishing. The amount was reduced to $175 million, not £175 million (which is $221,065,250).

Even though he seems to be catching a few breaks, it seems everything is working smoothly in ensuring that the Count of Monte Crisco doesn’t come close to winning the election. It would be a disaster for America to have this clown as president again – he’s a threat to American democracy. I’d feel better if someone would finance a third party run by Chris Christie or Liz Cheney.
ZzBomb
I’d entertain a 3rd party candidate, after Trump is out of politics and his movement is dead. Right now the stakes for our country and republic are too high to vote 3rd party tho.
My2CentsWorth
It would be a disaster for the world if enough of the voters are so mentally unhinged as to enable him to become president again either because of the flawed system or by getting a majority of the votes.
still_onthemark
At this point, Christie and Cheney are more likely to flat-out endorse Biden than run third party.
The proposed “No Labels” is going No Where, they can’t find a candidate, Manchin said no and nobody else wants them either.

Senate Democrats voted unanimously to continue facilitating the invasion of our country by shooting down Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty’s amendment to the Swamp’s spending bill that would prevent the use of American tax dollars to fly illegals from foreign airports into various U.S. cities.
That’s right, every single Senate Democrat voted against the amendment last Friday as Democrats continue to fly hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal aliens into our country from all over the world.

@ZzBomb
You are lying like a good Democrat. Please provide legislation to back up your absurd lie.
Every Democratic lawmaker in the Senate voted against an amendment that would bar taxpayer funds from being used to fly unvetted illegal aliens to U.S. towns and cities by charter jet. All Democrats voted against the amendment, but no Republicans did (51 Democrats and 47 Republicans). Chuck Schumer scheduled this vote in the middle of the night (on Friday). He did the same 2 weeks ago on a vote to stop illegals from being counted in the census. They are trying to hide it, naturally.
At least 7.2 million illegal immigrants have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration, which is greater than the population of 36 individual states. A report published by the Center for Immigration Studies, a nonpartisan think tank, found the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has allowed “secret flights” to transport unvetted illegal aliens from Latin America to communities across the United States. Roughly 320,000 migrants were flown to 43 different American airports from January through December 2023, according to the report.

As a Trump family member, Mary’s courageous, ongoing public refutation of the disgraced president is utterly heroic.

She will go down in history books as an important LGBT political figure.

Per CNBC:
Trump’s net worth shot up by more than $4 billion in recent days to about $6.5 billion, according to Bloomberg, which tracks the 500 wealthiest people in the world. As a result of the media merger and the adjusted bond, Trump, 77, was included Monday in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index for the first time in his life, according to the news outlet.
It looks like Joe Biden and the Democrats are going to have to up their election interference scheme.

Paper Roses
Song by Marie Osmond
I realise the way your eyes deceive me
With tender looks that I mistook for love
So take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of
Paper roses, paper roses,
Oh how real those roses seem to me
But they’re only imitation
Like your imitation love for me
I thought that you would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
But like a big red rose that’s made of paper
There isn’t any sweetness in your heart
Paper roses, paper roses,
Oh how real those roses seem to me
But they’re only imitation
Like your imitation love for me
