Last Week’s Poll Results and This Week’s Poll

5 Comments

Of Trump's Jan 6 excuses, 44% of DL readers found  "If I earnestly BELIEVE I am President, then I am President"  the most ludicrous.

It is ludicrous, but it is all he's got.  Living in an alternative reality and inviting people to live there with him is his thing.  It is not something that will work in a courtroom, but he can't help it.   This conservative CATO institute puts it this way:
America has seen its fair share of lying politicians, but Donald Trump is in a class of his own. He appears to view literally any interaction with another human being as an opportunity to be exploited and a game to be won. In Trump’s world, rules are for chumps, norms are for losers, and the truth is whatever you can get another person to believe — nothing more. And of course, history makes clear that this approach has been quite effective at advancing Trump’s interests in certain settings — preening on the set of a game show, for example, or spinning up a fawning, frothing crowd at a campaign event. But not only will those antics not work in a courtroom, they will backfire. Given the nature of the allegations against him, Trump will have to take the stand even though he has a right not to, and given his nature, he will lie to the jury just like he has lied to everyone else his entire life.
Which brings us to our next week's poll.  (The last Trump poll for a while, I promise.).  

How many felony charges will Trump add to his 91 existing felony charges on Monday when he reveals his 100 page  "report" that he says will cause all charges to be dropped?
