    Yeah that’s kind of what I expected. The prosecution wants to pin down Trump, so they let a few conspirators flip to make that happen. The rest will get buried alongside Trump.

    It’s gonna be really interesting how trump will address/ spin this publicly. If it’s only one guy who flipped, he could probably just feed him to the wolves in the media, but this is gonna be a bunch of ppl turning on him. Idk if he can convince his followers to instantly switch to hating on them. There’s gonna be a bunch of ppl on the fence about trump who will take any evidence to hop off the bandwagon.

    Either way, having a public criminal trial while running a campaign is about as much of a PR disaster as it’s gonna get. Remember: the goal of the prosecution is to pin him down with every piece of damning evidence they can get, it’s gonna get dirty.

        My parents appear to be trying to move on, but without saying that Trump did anything wrong. For them, it’s basically just “let’s ignore all those crimes… Hey, did you hear about these great candidates Rick Scott or RFK, Jr?” (And, yes, my father did try to tell me how great those two are.)

          I don’t know how to respond. It’s not a great situation, but at least they’ve stopped vocally and/or actively supporting him. I’m sorry, congratulations? Seems weird to say but it’s honest.

      He can turn his fans quite easily, I think.

      The bad scary deep-state government, run by Joe Brandon, threatened them with so much jail time that they had no choice but to turn on me. It makes sense. I don’t blame them. What else can you do?
