The Left Goes Into Overdrive With Trump Derangement Syndrome:
A peculiar and twisted obsession.
The Left is more crazed than ever with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Debunked conspiracy theories such as Russiagate and the relentless lawfare campaign conducted against Donald Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee for the 2024 election, are not enough to satiate the appetites of the Trump-haters. They want to see him in jail and ruin him financially while trying to marginalize any persons whoever worked with or supported Donald Trump as extremists determined to destroy democracy.
For example, the Left has been salivating at the prospect of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ seizure of Mr. Trump’s prime properties to enforce the judgment against him in Attorney General James’ civil fraud case. Mr. Trump faced the prospect of losing his properties if he could not arrange a nearly $500 million bond in time to cover his liability while he appeals the New York court ruling against him.
Squad leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) claimed there was a significant “risk in not seizing these assets.” She lives in an alternative universe.
To put into perspective the huge bond that Donald Trump was required to come up with in his civil case, consider what happened in two prominent criminal cases. Bernie Madoff was released on a $10 million bail in 2008 after confessing to his $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, was released on a $250 million bond in a case for which he was ultimately convicted on multiple criminal counts. Yet AOC and her left-wing comrades believe that Donald Trump’s properties must be seized in a civil case to avoid an imaginary risk.
AOC and her fellow travelers wanted to put Donald Trump into a box with the outrageously high bond requirement but they did not get their wish.
Joy turned to anger and outrage on the Left when an appellate court reduced Mr. Trump’s bond requirement to $175 million, which is still extremely high but a requirement that Mr. Trump said he could meet.
Attorney General James’ office said in a statement that “Donald Trump is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud” even though her case for alleged “staggering fraud” is built on quicksand.
The civil fraud lawsuit itself is a shining example of lawfare initiated by an attorney general who campaigned on the promise to get Donald Trump once and for all. She used an obscure New York law meant to address consumer fraud in an effort to destroy Mr. Trump financially. Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over the case, decided that Mr. Trump was liable for fraudulently inflating his assets to obtain favorable loan terms. Judge Engoran reached this decision without a jury trial or any trial at all for that matter where Mr. Trump’s defense team would have had the opportunity to present its own evidence and cross-examine the attorney general’s witnesses. --->READ MORE HERE
Dem lawfare puts Trump through hell, but he hardly breaks a sweat:
Years ago, Gary Larson published a cartoon showing a guy whistling as he cheerfully works in the bowels of hell. The Devil is shown lamenting “You know, we’re just not reaching that guy.”
That punchline came to mind this week when an exuberant former President Donald Trump stepped before cameras to say that “it will be my honor to post” a bond to appeal a massive decision against him in the New York court system.
For most people, the $175 million bond is nothing to whistle away.
But considering that Judge Arthur F. Engoron was insisting on $454 million, and Attorney General Letitia James was thrilling New Yorkers with pledges to go after iconic Trump properties, the smaller amount was a clear win.
Democrats lost their minds. One site announced “Rich man’s privilege prevails” and blamed “undemocratic judges.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., had previously warned that there is a “risk in not seizing” Trump’s assets. The risk is “political corruption” which seemed a bit odd from a member who was under fire that same week for her blanket opposition to the investigation into the Biden corruption scandal, even declaring that racketeering is not an actual crime in America. (A legal view that should be reassuring to Trump given the Georgia charges).

The moment captured the strange universe in which we have found ourselves.
Democratic prosecutors and politicians are piling on the fire and brimstone as Trump appears to be just warming up in his campaign.
The pile-on of prosecutors does not sit well with many voters outside places like Manhattan.
Even those who do not like Trump have even greater dislike for the weaponization of the legal system.
The array of civil and criminal cases have Trump literally running from courthouse to courthouse. . . and Trump seems to be loving every minute of it. With every new indictment, Trump’s popularity has increased. The lawfare just is not reaching the guy. He appears in his element. --->READ MORE HERE
