For someone who claims to not be a bit upset, worried, or concerned about the fact that he was just arraigned on a whopping 34 separate felony charges, Donald Trump sure is acting very upset, worried, and concerned.
During his official arraignment proceedings yesterday, New York Judge Juan Merchan noted that he would not be enacting a gag order against former President Trump that would effectively disallow the big-mouthed big guy to speak on the case in public — something that, in itself, would honestly take an act of Jesus Christ himself to accomplish. However, Merchan DID tell the disgraced, scandal-ridden ex-president that if his violent rhetoric across his speeches and social media didn’t stop, he could very likely change his mind when it comes to legally gagging him.
Wouldn’t you know, Trump does not seem to be listening.
Just one single day after Donald Trump faced the judge and heard this warning, face to face, the newly-indicted ex-president took to Truth Social to demand that Congress… Get this… Defund the police.

“Almost every legal and political analyst has said that the unfair and morally disgusting Indictment filed against me yesterday has NO MERIT, and is not even a case,” Trump fumed on Truth Social today, adding, “There was no crime and, anyway, the Statute of Limitations has been violated by many years.”
But it got worse. It always gets worse.
Trump turned out the caps lock yet again with his follow-up Truth Social post, raging, “REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS SHOULD DEFUND THE DOJ AND FBI UNTIL THEY COME TO THEIR SENSES. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TOTALLY WEAPONIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN OUR COUNTRY AND ARE VICIOUSLY USING THIS ABUSE OF POWER TO INTERFERE WITH OUR ALREADY UNDER SIEGE ELECTIONS!”
I guess no one has explained to him that all 34 of these felonies are state charges that the Department of Justice, nor the Federal Bureau of Investigation have a damn thing to do with. You could defund them both until the cows come home; it won’t save Donald Trump.
