Let's face it Trump wants the harshest punishment possible.
  • IF* he's found guilty, this is the weakest and, probably, only case that is going to be heard before the election.
Right now this case is better than any campaigning he could possibly do and if he wins, which is entirely possible (even likely?) I think his chance of winning the election improve significantly.

I should have bought it when it was low and it started trending on Reddit.

Didn't the CEO say a couple of weeks ago that they were implementing tech to take on the big layers? I think the stock bounced on the back of that. Not that any of them are liars of course...

On the subject of trump’s rants against Merchan, I’m pretty sure if someone called me ‘corrupt’ I would challenge them to show the evidence, or make a public retraction. If they can’t / won’t do either, is it slander? I imagine the US has some fairly strong laws around this.

Perhaps someone should post up that trump is a kiddy-fiddler and then just says it’s free speech….

Rather than the weakest case, Peckers testimony last week made it very clear it was all about trumps campaign and not as trump claimed, protecting Melania. In fact he's given so many lies about this and still continues to.

Documented business fraud, campaign finance violations, I thought the felony charges a little far, early days but so far the evidence is all looking like it's going to prove the charges. Rather than the weakest, I say this is trumps biggest threat of going to jail, from contempt if not being found guilty. He certainly think he's at risk.

One person's testimony isn't a case, and it doesn't change the challenges of prosecuting it.

It's a good starting point though for setting the narative, with the crucial witnesses to come.
Noticable as well is that trumps lawyers tried to claim it had all been approved by lawyers but the prosecution had Pecker testifying he hadn't told the lawyers it was all to protect trumps campaign, nor about the agreement with trump to manufacture dirt and run stories about his opponents. Ripped that claim apart.

Plus team trump trying to claim paying hush money isn't illegal, when it's actually about false business accounting and fraud...
Scales are tipped prosection side already and trumps rants aren't helping

Do they have any form of community service in the US? Trump could be set to work, say, weeding a municipal golf course.

Down 6% already today.

Some interesting reports on Truth Social though:

https://www.searchlogistics.com/learn/statistics/t...

and

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1293120/truth-...

Downloads of the app, number of users and demographics for the platform are flat. Its not growing. The commonly used metrics of 'monthly active users' that is used for socia media platforms shows a harsh reality:



Data from here:

https://www.axios.com/2024/03/27/truth-social-stoc...

Quick summary - its not growing, it is not attracting a broad spread of users and as a business its losing a lot of money. The gap between revenue and costs does not look to be reducing any time soon and dont forget that this is a US and Canada only platform - while this is a pretty big market, its still limited and limits TC's ability to capture more users.

Is TC worth billions? Absolutely not and its just a matter of time before the market corrects itself and prices it correctly. I would suspect that this will happen when Trump starts cashing in - and the reality will be obvious and no doubt will crash the price.

Given that the judge excused him from being at the trial specifically to attend, if he doesn't I suspect he'll find himself in another contempt hearing.

He's spin it as the victim and grafting to MAGA. Giving back to the voters.

Perhaps they could move the graduation ceremony to one of trumps golf courses?

Team Biden getting punchy, directly laying things at Trump's feet.

Question is, can he use aggression against Trump, if so he'll need to ramp it up and then maintain it.

Back of the net, but it's only a training game at the moment.

Even if the graduation ceremony is held at Mar-a-Lago, Trump might still be too busy playing golf. I mean it takes a lot of practice to win multiple tournaments like Trump has.
