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.

I have tens of thousands for lawyers, do you? They will bankrupt you and ruin your life to silence your political opposition, is that the country we want?

"For fundraising?" Yup.

The source of this story that Trump wants handcuffs is unnamed. The Big Media company that gives you this report with unnamed sources is soooo "fair and balanced" that they unabashedly claim in court documents that it wants Trump to be a "nonperson".

But never mind all of that. You take this unsorced story and you embellish it even further.

Uh, Trump wants to do this for fundraising, you say.

Ha! Good one.

“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.”

They know they can’t ignore him. Trump is one of the few, if not the only, people in the country that can get his message out without them.

He need to be wearing a MAGA hat and a Trump 2024 jacket if he has one.

“Drama Queen, looking for sympathy, seriously, just stop.”


Drama Queen. Right. He should just shut up and let them charge him without saying anything. Why would anybody sympathize with him for not just going along quietly?.

By the way, the above comment was sarcasm. And you’re an idiot. No offense.

The blanket of “citing unidentified sources” line is getting old and worn-out...

- - - - - - -

I propose a rule. The title of every article based on anonymous sources must note it. The text [writer claims the source is anonymous] must be added to the title.
