Trump To Be Indicted For Removing Mattress Tag In 1997
The Babylon Bee ^ | March 23, 2023

Posted on 03/24/2023 8:31:31 AM PDT by McGruff

District Attorney Alvin Bragg is reportedly set to indict Trump this coming Tuesday for the removal of a mattress tag back in 1997. According to sources, new evidence was discovered in the mattress tag cold case by grizzled Detective Harry Jakes, who utilized modern advances in forensic science to place former president Donald Trump at the scene of the crime.

In a surprise move, Trump has not denied the troubling accusation, though he maintains doing so was not illegal. "The tag says 'except by consumer.' I am a huge consumer. Probably the greatest consumer ever, and I had every right to remove that tag. The deep state is trying to dig up anything they can just to keep me from reclaiming the presidential throne."

"Witch hunt!"

Independent fact checkers have rated Trump's claim "a bald-faced lie," citing the fact that the president does not sit on a throne. Also, he is Trump and that is bad. The fact-check article does not make mention of the mattress tag issue directly, but does note, "[Trump] broke both federal and international laws probably."

A United Nations committee has been assembled to investigate whether the matter qualifies as a war crime.

That poor man. He needs blanket immunity.

In a bedder world, no one would give a sheet. There’d be more important mattress.

This is how ridiculous this whole thing is.

The left simply cannot find anything legitimate to pin on him.

He must be the most investigated man in the world.

Yet, with all the investigation, they find only dubious, manufactured nonsense to charge him with...

This is ultimately the goal of communist leftists (i.e. democrats). They make everything illegal, force everyone to break laws every day then use that lawfare to threaten your freedom when you dare step out of line.

I remember when the tags didn’t have the words “except by the consumer”. So many people never cut them off. They also thought they could go to jail if they did.

I honestly think they'd use "ripping off a tag" if they thought they could get away with it! All they really want is that "Perp Walk" (esp. with flashing police lights) picture/video and/or in the orange jumpsuit.

They can then use these in EVERY political ad, from dogcatcher up to Presidential races for millennia.

Does not matter if it's all BS and will go nowhere... they just really, really need those pictures!!

Well the tag does say it can be removed by the consumer. Was Trump the consumer? If so no problem.

Trump had one of his assistants purchase the mattress for him, therefore Trump wasn't the official "consumer" and it's gotta be upgraded to a felony.

I also have it on good authority that he once taped a baseball game without the expressed written consent of the Commissioner of Baseball.
