"I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela," the former president said...It was not the first time Trump has likened himself to a martyr as he faces a flurry of criminal charges...Last week, Trump took to Truth Social to share a message that likened his legal troubles to the persecution of Jesus Christ.

Bad comparison President Trump. Mandella was a stinking commie.

He’s egging them on to do it, why I have no clue..he doesn’t really want to go to jail otherwise he wouldn’t be doing everything in his power to delay these trials

Because if he is jailed merely for speaking the trials no longer matter. Everyone will see the trials for the political persecution they are.

“Mandela was a pos.“

Perception. Mandela is anything but a POS to 75% of the public.

Failure to protect the rights of this defendant.

Indeed the justice system has been taken over by madmen the fools act as if nobody is looking.

Hell to pay comes with a high price they earned it.

It would start a cascade that the public won’t be able to ignore.

First, the judge must make accommodation for the Secret Service squad that accompanies the x-POTUS.
His only way out of that is to have Biden remove the USSS protection provided by Congress for x-POTUS.
At that point, Biden will need to explain to the SCOTUS why he is nullifying legislation by fiat just to put Trump in jail.
That should take about 8 years, provided Trump doesn’t win the election.

Nelson Mandela was a Communist who would not renounce violence. After the Left emerged victorious in South Africa the cameras wondered off to another crusade. Meanwhile , in the now Communist South Africa, White Farmers have been murdered by the hundreds, electricity is often off, and the nation has become a basket case.

All true, Nateman.

On the other hand, most USA Blacks, and the Political Left, consider Mandela to be a secular Archangel, which is why they go bananas when Trump invokes his name.

Also, Rush Limbaugh used to do a drop dead perfect vocal imitation of Mandela, usually for completely silly things, which would always cause the Left to erupt in anger, decades ago.

Once he has made clear to the judges, he has no fear.. They lose their power.
If they dare take him in.. The backlash would be more than they would wish.
They don’t have that kind of power, as a judge.. But that is exactly what they are pulling off.

Nelson Mandela, a card carrying communist, destroyed the once great country of South Africa. Does DJT really want to compare himself with Mandela?

Exactly.
The Dems that are panicking now are the most perceptive.
It will be a massacre this Fall and no Dem cheating will overcome it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if fed up pubbies deliver some old fashioned pitchfork justice justice to Dem cheaters jn blue cities large and small. Long time coming. Beware the Fury of a patient man who has been pushed too far. Not condoning but sadly expecting to see it. FAFO is true for a reason.
Maybe my children and grand children will see a better country here again.

*****************

Many of you are missing the point.

The point isn’t about Mandela’s politics, it’s about a corrupt system prosecuting their political opponent.

That is what Trump is saying.

If the early morning propaganda news pukes pick this up they will deify Mandella.
“How dare Trump compare himself to the great statesman Nelson Mandella!”
Show their true NWO colors.
