Trump admits that being booked in jail was a ‘terrible experience’
The New York Post ^ | 08/25/2023 | Yaron Steinbuch

Posted on 08/25/2023 8:10:19 AM PDT by thegagline

Former President Donald Trump admitted that being booked at Georgia’s notorious Fulton County Jail was a “terrible experience” — and claimed he had “never heard the word mugshot” until his was taken.

Trump became the first current or former US president to get his mugshot snapped when he was booked Thursday night on charges of unlawfully trying to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.

When asked later by Newsmax host Greg Kelly what it was like inside the filthy jail, the 77-year-old replied: “Terrible experience.”

He added: “I came in, I was treated very nicely — but it is what it is. I took a mugshot. I had never heard the word mugshot. They didn’t teach me that at the Wharton School of Finance.” *** “In my whole life, I didn’t know anything about indictments. And now I’ve been indicted, like, four times,” continued Trump, the overwhelming GOP front-runner in the 2024 presidential election.

“It’s just like one thing after the next. What they want to do is they want to try and wear you out, which they would never do … Just an absolute horrible thing that they’re doing,” he said.

“And I’ve never seen anything like it. This is Third World country,” Trump added. ***

Maybe a different angle:

“ To fellow wrongfully arrested and jailed, these jail conditions are intolerable and so sad so many. I’ll make sure all DNA backlogs are cleared ……..”

Seems too unfamiliar with the principles of law enforcement to be President...“

I guess you can ignore the fact he was the best President in a generation.

Typical behavior of the Trans-republicans...

I'm liking this "Trans-republican" label.

Obviously you have never read, but being in the ‘law’ business, here is a gift to you today!

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

The horse blinder people on FR actually think that this Trump arrest is a "one-off".

Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote something about that about some other Fascists last century.

"First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Communist..."

It did give President Trump an opportunity to strike fear, with his indignant look, into the hearts of the traitors persecuting him illegally. They have no idea how close they are to having their entire world ended by the American people bringing hell upon their sorry lives.

The Democrat Party has been taken over by perverted leftists. There is no difference between the GOPe leadership and the Democrats. You, Gag, back the GOPe candidates therefore you are allied with the leftists. This means that you are either a willing communist or stupid as hell, which one is it Gag?

Trump comes across in that mug shot as one badass player, that is for sure. This could work within his advancing campaign, a positive sign for the Trump True Believers, and a looming threat for the dedicated Never-Trumpers out there.

There are no masks with Trump. He speaks from his heart.

The difference between a wolf and a sheepdog is the heart.
