Best President Ever!
Every US president should be in jail for crimes against humanity
at least the cia didnt assasinate him
Now let's do Joe Biden Jill Biden Jim Biden hunter Biden for accepting millions from China and Ukraine.
2016: 'We got him!' 2017: 'We got him!' 2018: 'We got him!' 2019: 'We got him!' 2020: 'We got him!' 2021: 'We got him!' 2022: 'We got him!' 2023.....
The House of Representatives will literally go after Alvin Bragg- he is in WAY over his head now.He better be able to walk the walk because he has been talking the talk.He is totally out of his league now.
beauty of it is is a fake crime. 2024 won.
Gawd, he looks so scary. He's UGLY too.
Remember when hillary went and paid off all the women that Bill Clinton had sex with? and used campaign money to do it? Trump used personally money which is not a crime in the USA.
Please do Trudeau now
Therefore making the biggest political kangaroo court show
Also the 1st outsider, so…makes sense. Martyrdom now
Well alot more would be charged for alot worse but nope the media and the left are evil
'Dream on'. -Steve Tyler
karma has entered the building.
The Democrats have now made every NDA out there criminal…
Still waiting to hear a crime he committed. Paying hush money is a crime? Clintons and Biden never did anything comparable right?
Oh stop CTV! If you want crime look at the Biden, Obama , Clinton administration. You can’t tell the truth about Canadian politics and now you’re yapping about American so why not cover what’s happening in Tennessee?
Boy it must suck for the media to all have to use the same single still picture from the court room!🤣😂🤣😂
How many of the Russia conspiracy lies did you broadcast as fact for four years?
What doesn't kill him will only make him stronger. And here is the new president of the united state. What do you think he'll do first as soon as he will enter office ? Yeah right... clean that swamp.
Like Obama,Clinton ,bush all didn’t have skeletons in there closet! 3 of the biggest war mongers of them all especially Obama, the first gay president!
This is just a democrat farce, what a circus. 🙄 Joe Biden - who is imcompetent - is 'running' the country when he can't even walk properly.
A very sad & shameful day in the history of USA 🇺🇸! 0.1% have been allowed to destroy 150 years of credibility.The USA 🇺🇸 and democracy is now the laughing stock of the world! 1% was so JEALOUS of Mr. Trump, the Kangaroo court, charged him! The world is LAUGHING 😃 AT USA! 😜
Another J6 dog and pony show. I wonder how much exculpatory evidence they’ve hidden this time.
Now do Epstein’s clients…oh right zero charges. So Epstein & Maxwell apparently trafficked under age kids to no one. The hypocrisy from the left is astounding. And I’m no Trump fan, but it’s clear as day the system is rigged.
They just set a precedent to arrest other former presidents. Greatest show on earth.

Democrats are equivalent to a lynch mob. Biden is trying to jail his political opponents. No better than Putin !

New York judge announced Monday night no electronic devices or cameras in court room during Trumps arraignment! 🤔 Looks like democrats over ruled that judge! Trump2024NowMorethanEver
Why wasn't Bill Clinton charged?
Why don't you tell Canadians the truth about this political witch hunt by the banana republic Soros funded prosecutor?
Biden & Trudeau up next.
Political witch hunt. Paying hush money for sex (before he was pres) is probably the most insignificant thing a former president has done.
The entire case will hinge on a novel legal theory. If he committed a federal crime, he should be tried in a federal court. He isn't, though, because this whole thing is a political witch hunt. Declaring him guilty and then fishing for a crime. Goodbye, America.
LMFAO. Heard the big play is.... Dude gave money to a A legal aged hooker. Now that this is over we can start with the Jeffrey Epstein Client List. You guys have been busy with the bad orange man.
Poor baby. Had to push the door open Himself! Whoa!
If you play with words by saying first “former” President, then sure, but President Ulysses S. Grant was arrested in 1872 for “speeding” on his horse and buggy.
While you are covering this drama bullshit, 7 countries have abandoned the petro dollar and you haven’t said a god Damn thing
Hopefully Biden will be the first former president to serve time 🤞
This is disgusting.
Best President since Reagan!!!
Trudeau should be sitting beside him. He paid off a minor in 2001.
Charged yes. Guilt proven? No
a crime that is a big lie! Just like the 2020 election!
