Trump wants to appear in handcuffs if he’s charged in NYC: report
NY Post ^ | 03/22/2023 | Bruce Golding

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly said he wants to be hauled into court in handcuffs if he’s slapped with unprecedented charges in the “hush money” case involving porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump, 76, told advisers of his plan, saying that if he has to go through the ordeal of getting arrested and arraigned, he’d prefer making it a “spectacle,” The Guardian said Wednesday, citing unidentified sources close to him.

The ex-president — who’s seeking the Republican nomination for a third White House bid in 2024 — also wants to avoid any special treatment that could make him look weak, the sources reportedly said.

The Democrats’ one political weakness is their propensity to overplay their hand.

Whether the rumor is true or not, I'm coming around to this line of thinking.

If the crazy NYC DA does go through with this ham sandwich of an indictment, Trump should play it up to the hilt and show the world the corruptness of the Deep State and what they do to good people who stand up to it.

Since when is an alleged infidelity a federal offense?
Bunch of immoral hypocrites.

Not sure the minions have thought this through...

Do Unto Them as They Did Unto You is one of those things that probably kept the swamp in its current swampyness.

Trump in cuffs means a time where it could/should be Obama in cuffs,Brandon in cuffs, Hunter in cuffs, Hillary in cuffs, Pelosi in cuffs, Soros in cuffs, fill in name in cuffs, etc..

You can’t say there’s no precedent when you break the precedent..

Let the games begin

NY, GA, anywhere they want to up the ante, draw..

Trump was one of many developers in NYC. He's the one who rose to a national figure by embracing the mantra 'write anything you want as long you spell my name right'. He courted any press, good or bad. And build brand as a guy people loved or hated but everyone knew who he was and had an opinion and that's what he wanted.

He still operates that way. Bad press coverage is .... press coverage.

I think, however, that some things maybe need a little more consideration.

The media’s moving on to their next narrative, (i.e. Trump’s blowing this all out of proportion. He’s making a big deal out of nothing.). Next we’ll see people focus on his fundraising, in order to take the focus off of the prosecution itself. Some on this board are more than happy to play along.

Shackles plus handcuffs would make it the 5th dimension!

The media gave Trump thousands of hours of free ad time in the 2016 race, they said they would never do that again, until lately.

I have a hard time believing the Secret Service would allow him to be detained like that. If he had to evacuated due to a threat on his life, those precious seconds could be a disaster.

Maybe that's what they want.

Considering the millions of people coming over the border—and the way they will be used in 2024 to swing the election—the image of the president in cuffs is probably about right.

Every fundraising appeal I have seen that uses (or abuses) Donald Trump’s name goes through winred dot com.

That’s not Donald Trump.

That’s Ronna McDaniel.

Jus’ Sayin’ ...

He shouldn’t go up there. He should say “come and get me”. Let the swat team show up and cuff him.

Anonymous source without full context or exact words body language nor tone of voice. Ok whatever. Who knows the real gist of what was said if it wasn’t made up?
