Donald Trump is not having a good week, not a tall a tall. Jack Smith is the reason why. Smith’s latest victory is the ruling of the 11th Circuit to end Trump’s Special Master and allow all the items seized from Trump to return to the investigatory powers of the Department of Justice. Trumpty Dumpty doesn’t like that. He says everything belongs to him and he’s screaming, literally all caps screaming, that he wants it back and right now.
His tantrum started around 7:00 a.m. Florida time and he added exclamatory points to his comments at 11:00 a.m.
If this keeps up, it’s going to be thorazine time. You can’t be his age, his weight, and go screaming apoplectic bonkers without risking a stroke at some point.
Fat chance of that and he knows it. That’s what led to the all caps screaming.
The review by a court-appointed third party known as a special master was connected to the Justice Department’s investigation into Trump’s harboring of classified documents after leaving office, which is what led to the raid in August.
Only unclassified materials were still subject to the review, but the department argued these documents were critical for establishing context clues for the handling of those identified as classified.
The department also challenged Trump’s broad descriptions of what was seized as personal records. Such records are often ordinarily swept up in government searches and seizures. Donald, of course, isn’t convinced. “Under the Presidential Records Act and the very well established Clinton Socks Case, the raid of Mar-a-Lago by the FBI, and the taking of documents and many other items, was ILLEGAL. Everything should be returned, at once!” he insisted Friday.
The so-called Clinton socks case is a court dispute over audio recordings of interviews with that ex-president that were once stored in a clothes drawer. Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who ruled in that case, observed a distinction under the piece of federal law known as the Presidential Records Act between government records and those of a “purely private or nonpublic character.” Records originating directly with the federal government — especially those identified by high-level classification markings — couldn’t reasonably be described in such a manner, in contrast to audio recordings made of private conversations outside the bounds of presidential job responsibilities.
Trump is also continuing to rage against supposed interference by social media companies in the last presidential race. He has consistently overstated and misrepresented what these firms actually did. For instance, there is no apparent evidence of any specific directive or warning from the FBI for Facebook about certain reporting on Hunter Biden, a son of the current president.
The decisions of social media companies to temporarily limit the spread of that reporting also simply didn’t completely shut it down. It was still highly publicized. Anyone seeing a reference to the story on any app could just close the site and Google it. Yet, Trump now says lives were “destroyed” — whatever on earth that means.
Nobody has a clue what he’s raving about. But expect it to continue. Trump and Jack Smith are like Al Capone and Eliot Ness. This isn’t going to end well for Donald Trump.

What a disgrace. A former president acting like a brainless two year old. Absolutely appalling.
No I disagree with that a two-year-old has brains this one doesn’t!
He is a brainless 2yr. old . He’s a man child.
“the very well established Clinton Socks Case”
Does anybody know what the hell Bill Clinton’s cat has to do with any of this?
Marcus it’s a confusion related to the slang word ‘pussy’. Frumpy thinks all ‘pussy’ wants to be grabbed by him. He’s outraged that one got away. Meowwwww!
tapes stored in a sock drawer. nothing to do with the cat, may he rest in peace over the Rainbow Bridge.
please please please just keep turning the screws tighter and tighter until he comes completely unglued. Hopefully someone will catch his final fatal tantrum on video so we can all enjoy it. what a useless sack of vile crap the orange bozo is.
Finally, someone with some courage has shown how pitifully easy it is to back Trump down. Trump, coward that he is, spent an entire administration bullying his spineless fellow Republicans into submission with zero consequences. But after years of that crap, it took Jack Smith less than a month to show how to deal with someone like Trump. You just slap him in his fat, fucking face again and again and again until he breaks and gives up. And that’s exactly what is happing here. Finally, someone is seriously punching back hard and Trump can’t take it. Punch a bully and watch them cry.
A view from Canada 🇨🇦Love Jack.Smith takes zero prisoners but the exception will be dirty donnie and this will not be to the woodshed-JAIL will be his final destination and then watch what happens Melania moves back to NY with Barron and Donnie Jr and Eric-the shit is going to hit the fan and Ivanka and Jared are in Miami with their hundreds of millions and zero contact with dirty donnie!
To hell with all Republicans. They are the the most evil fitlth to crawl on the face of the Earth. They are traitors (and always have been) and have no legitimate voice.
Walter! I AGREE 100% with you! trump is the very worst thing that ever happened to the USA that a-hole has done more to divide us than any other thing that has ever happened within our shores!It is a shame that he alone ruined the GOP as we do need at least 2 parties I would rather a half a dozen! America is so broken right now from corruption I do not think we can or will ever be able to repair it! All of the politicians have climbed aboard the trump train and live on graft and greed< point in case? Sinema started in office with 100K and is now worth 40 million………..HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN without grifting graft and side money from her lobby friends! If I had my way I'd audit every one of these pigs and make them EXPLAIN WHERE ALL THE MILLIONS CAME FROM! This bullchit that politicans are above the law SUCKS! Americas fairy tale is JUSTICE FOR ALL & NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
If you were to count how many times Trump
has claimed to be subjected to the whims of others, persecuted, the topic of “fake news”, etc. – well, I just can’t count that high. I only wish his blind supporters would tire of his infantile rants and let him suffer the consequences of his behavior.
Amy, most of his supporters were uneducated country people . Just a bunch of red-necks that believed everything he said . He played them like a fiddle , he spoke their language .
