Yamiche Alcindor: Trump’s Legal Problems Mount As Supporters Stay Loyal | The Last Word | MSNBC
234 fake papers of McEneny showing, that made the judges laugh and dismissed the lawsuit with ease? What are we missing here? Or is it a plot to create as much division as possible?
It’s like, the lawsuits don’t even make any sense, and we haven’t lost a single lawsuit yet, and it wasn’t even close that’s the thing? It’s not fraud, it’s being a Sore Loser..
@Ryan Riggs His base has shifted to spreading misinformation and discrediting the election process unfortunately. His hardcore supporters are predominantly uneducated not scholars which makes it pretty easy…
Trumpenhausen is just going for some last minute cash grabbing. The members of his cult will give him their last dime if he sticks his hand out. Trump cannot concede, the cult won’t give him that last dime if he admits defeat.
just another half baked scheme by the crack trump legal team. Next press conference some one needs to tell McEneny to send the papers to the court already cause they are being laughed out of court.
Sideshow Barbie McEnemy is trying to do the, look smart while looking confused while thinking she just tricked everyone. The orangutard cult will most likely believe that, she’s so smart, she made everyone else look dumb. There’s an off chance that they think, the 234 papers, contain exactly what she claimed.
Is anyone surprised that trump’s exit is just as disgusting as his entire reign as dictator?
@Pauline MORTON explain how the swing states all went trump but dominion machine states went biden?
@Ram RCS Every person there new what could happen I understand that people like you need someone to tell them what to do at all times but there are other people who can actually think for themselves So everything you say is ignorant and makes zero sense but keep trying maybe one day you will have something meaningful to say
@Football Nerd If you knew the definition of dictator you would clearly see nothing that Trump has done ever came close to being a wanna be dictator Learn the how to not lie
@Jarrod Pierce Again, you’re failing to read. I didn’t say he already is a dictator, I said he wants to be a dictator, which is obvious….
What a purely ignorant comment. dictator? are you on Uranus?
TRUMP: “MAGA”
2020: “Morons Are Going Away”
BIDEN/HARRIS 2💙2💙 🇺🇸
Unfortunately, they have always been here. Trump just emboldened them to crawl out from underneath their rocks and begin to speak. They have, and will always be here. To me that’s even more disturbing than a Trump presidency.
@Nick’s Name So true 💯💯
@Nick’s Name So true. This is why real Americans need to make sure no one like trump with dictator ways ever gets elected.
@Dementia Joe Teleprompter
Lmaoooooo you let daddy vladz down little buddy 😂👋🏻😂
@DARLA NEWCOMB
Lmaoooooo
Bye bye troll 😂
Trump is behaving the exact same way that any cornered criminal would behave when he’s running out of options.
he is buying out all the vaseline in pharmacies ,getting ready for that jailbird lovin
@MB Trump literally no one hates these investigations, we just think youre pathetic.
@Noreb Well, I don’t give a rip! I believe that the DEMS and the LYING MSM is pathetic for spending 4 years investigating President Trump for winning the 2016 election!! Now it’s OUR turn to investigate the DEM corruption!!
@JA G
The fact is Trump is a deadbeat, a continual liar, a superspreader of Covid-19, a tax cheat, and an incompetent.
Sound policy involves Constitutional government, democratic-republican norms, and honest confrontation of crises. Trump has done none of these.
@Connie sue adams Adams your exactly right .
Trump said the virus would disappear after election instead the US has record levels of infection
Fitting for this record-breaking failure of a “president”.

@Doug Eisenberg You reveal the hate and cancer being spread by Magas. You have unveiled it, just blurted it out, the real Republican Party, Thank you for revealing yourself. Now explain to me just one way Trump has improved your life? You people think facts are lies, people like you should not be allowed to vote since you are dumbed down by GOP cult propaganda.
@Jim20 Amen!
@Jim20he used military money from the losers.(his words not mine) Without going through the proper channels. But you don’t hear him brag about that do you!
Cy Vance and Letitia James are waiting in the wings.
I wonder if Berman can get his job back now…?
I wish somebody, anybody can find a way to get mitch mcconnell
Out..he is too corrupt to still be in the house 35 years, robbing tax payers, and kentuckians..retire him, then, jail him.
Amen!
Self PARDON?, No way me and American people nation’s shouting JUSTICE
not really a thing, the Supreme court has already ruled “no one can be there own judge and jury” , even if he steps down fly boy can pardon him, but it will not make every thing go away, he will still be facing a several cases with an admission of guilt ( a pardon is a admission of guilt) hanging over his head. His family is not free or clear either even if he tries to pardon them, its kind of the same boat. There is also a think where pardons for “corrupt matters” can be easily over turned.

@Teena Raven Snow its just another coward want to be internet tough guy
He is the abusive boyfriend of the GOP that says, “They can’t jail me forever & I will come back to avenge the disloyal.”
Wow … well said
wowhttps://youtu.be/cfpRAU2b7YM
Wonder if Trump keeps them in line because he has the master Epstein list?
What do you say .?they stood for this 4 years.ok.
Trump is DESPERATE and will SAY and DO ANYTHING to avert Legal consequences.
@Manny Aguirre Don’t you have a store loot or something. Maybe a street fire?
@Emerson Biggens “No I don’t loot”. It is you who are armed and are committing senseless protests and violence because you cant come to your senses (5× draft dodger) wuss puss whinning cry baby Con-ald Trump LOST the election “with no evidence” of fraud to back it up. By credible sourse Trump cheated 2016 elections. Therefore the ONLY Cheat and fraud is in this election is Donald Trump himself. He knew he was gonna lose to Joe Biden and here’s the kicker fool “many who voted trump 2016 like myself did not vote trump this time around” that’s why voting numbers went to Joe Biden.
@Manny Aguirre Feel better now? LMFAO
@Emerson Biggens thank you for asking i never felt Better now that Trump got a taste of his own medicine and Joe Biden is declared 🇺🇸 President. FYI Dont be a fool and give donations Donald Trump for useless cause (Hint) “he’s gonna pocket that money” Private Citizen and former President Donald Trump has serious Legal issues and He’s gotta “PAY”
@Manny Aguirre Free stuff
NOW WE NEED TO PUSH FOR A NATIONAL HOLIDAY ON JAN 20 COMPLETE WITH FIREWORKS AND CALL IT “NO MORE CHRUMP” DAY🥂🥂👍👍
Trump on twitter “the evidence of voter fraud is overwhelming”
Trumps lawyers in court “we have no evidence of voter fraud”
The difference? You’re allowed to lie on twitter, lying in court is a criminal offence.
I honestly wish they got Trump down in the court room. He’d last about 5 minutes before one of his crazed tantrums got him thrown in a jail cell.
Except, for the fact, that there IS a lot of voter fraud, if you’d just open your eyes.
Trump and the Truth in the same room?
@r shoulders don’t even put them in the same sentence.
@Konservative Kirby II Then why have they not produced any evidence in court?
Already debunked social media conspiracy theories are not evidence.
@Samuel Medrea even if Trump won Georgia, he still wouldn’t have enough to get 270, so idk what your angle is here🤦
Innocent men do not ask for pardons.
accepting a pardon is legally an admission of guilt.
anyone who is afraid of voters
should never be allowed
to hold public office.
period.
Hear hear.
The GOP need to grow a pair and get him OUT….they had no fear disrupting legislation for 12 years!!!
Melania Trump to her divorce attorney:
“Stand back and stand by.”
@Ba Doai
Newsflash. Nobody with half a brain would click on a link randomly posted on YouTube. You really are wasting your time.
What she will say is more like, “it is what is” Donald……..Bye bye.
She has a prenup, so she walks away with what ever she gets. He goes to prison and she still lives the total lifestyle without him. If she’s lucky Jr, Ivanka and Eric will go to prison too and then she has the place to herself. That’s assuming he isn’t really drowning in debt and the whole thing crashes down around him. Personally, I think he’s done. Who would hire him, unless it’s some prison reality show.
@Michael Chylinski He could star in his own TV show, Prison Broke Me!
The Divorce papers are already done Melania is just waiting until Jan.20
4 years of this fraud wining and crying over the terrible life he’s having is tiresome and tremendously exhausting.😠😠
People saying “Poor Melania”…I think she is up to her neck in it all. There are no facts to support Poor Melania at all.
she is complicit in everything any way, she was not a victim she is a participant. She is trying to steal the silverware and head home inmate trump will not need a Russian handler
I have never thought “poor Melania”. She’s just as venal as her husband. She even has much the same signature as he does, which tells me a lot.
Show no mercy on him, he showed no mercy on the innocent people he victimized. Burn trump
Trump is going to jail. SDNY will get him on tax and bank fraud.
The reason Trump is probably saying he will not have the vaccine distributed to nyc is due to the SDNY will be investigating him.
