Icon Status – President Trump is now on TikTok

I said immediately following the guilty verdict from the biased and manipulated New York City jury, that District Attorney Alvin Bragg “just elevated President Trump to countercultural icon status.” [link] The reason is simple, Americans inherently sense corruption, unfairness and can feel when something is profoundly wrong.

While many Americans may not fully understand the granular issues at the heart of the Lawfare cases, they know President Trump has not done anything wrong in comparative scale to the attacks and vitriol leveled against him. This “sense” of bearing witness to gross injustice creates an outcome of support for the person being targeted.

(snip)

The theme of MAGA Trump goes from directing public attention via a finger pointed toward the corruption, to pointing his middle finger of “**** you” specifically at the corrupt officials. Yes, a liberated icon is born!

At this juncture, the self-restraint, retained niceties and mannerisms of polite familiarity change. The target accepts the polite plea for decency is futile and accepts, no, embraces their outlaw status. Things change quickly.

The bolded part is happening now, especially after this the other day:

""Do you think a conviction will have an impact on the campaign?" the reporter pressed, without a response from the president.

Sage Steele, a former ESPN reporter, reacted to the video on X, saying, "Honestly, I rarely use the word evil to describe another human being but…..""

Apparently its not going over well elsewhere, apparently this was spotted the last day or two:

The Trump vs NY case represents the new way that democrats aim to control the courts. Democrats have indicated that they want to control the Supreme Court via adding the number of judges necessary for them to get control and rulings that go exclusively in democrats' favor. No supreme court is good enough if democrats control the outcomes, and that's the way they want all other courts to work. The Trump case is their new way of getting the desired outcomes that democrats want. If tne NY case was not going to go their way, democrats had plenty of other occasions to get that same kind of outcome. Lawfare is their new way of controlling the outcomes, and the Suprme Court will be next for democrats. To change and completely invalidate the Supreme Court, democrats will make sure that the presidency remains under democrat control, and that the senate remains under democrat control. Once democrats have control of the senate and the presidency, the constitution and the bill-of-rights will become null-and-void. The U.S. will cease to exist, and the only way to get any of it back, is through civil war. Something very sinister happened in the Trump v NY case. The outcome was predetermined. The outcome was predetermined when the jurors were allowed to go home after every court day. IOW, the jurors didn't matter because the outcome was already in the bag. And even if the jurors mattered, they would be very easy to tamper with. I believe that the jurors were tampered with, and that they were bought off. NO WAY that all the jurors would be in agreement with a completely made up case and all found Trump guilty in a crime that was completely made up. Believe it or not, Trump was going to be guilty even before Bragg had formulated the case with phony charges. The appeals courts in NY should also not be trusted, and the only way that Trump may get the case invalidated, is through the Supreme Court.

The woman with the child, where is that from?

Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ”. The woman is Satan. The baby is supposed to represent the Antichrist.

NEW: Donald Trump has amassed over 1.1 million followers on TikTok in just 10 hours after he announced at UFC 302 that he was joining the app.

For comparison, the Biden campaign has been on the app for months and only has 335k followers.

Trump’s first post received a whopping 23 million views and 1.2 million likes in the 10 hour period after he joined.

For comparison, BidenHQ has been working tirelessly, uploading 212 videos but only amassing 4.5 million likes.

I’m shocked . . . but I’m LAUGHING OUT LOUD! 😁

For those who do NOT understand the granular issues, I have created a very brief primer, presented in bullet points.

I called him EVIL the first time I saw that clip. And a few viewings later, I have not changed my mind. That man is EVIL.
