Trump shouldn't be president
Trump shouldn't be president
i feel like if trump is a felony he shouldn't be president
i feel like if trump is a felony he shouldn't be president
I don't think Trump should be president at all
34 business misdemeanors turned into felonies 😂 As a lifelong Democrat, I've never seen this type of weaponized justice perpetrated against one man. As Democrats this is why we keep losing. 😢. We need to focus on the issues NOT on one man.
God will be the Judge Come Judgement Day 😡🤬
The judge did the best he can do based in the judgement, his hands were tied. The Supreme Court ordered him. But 34 counts are there, unconditional.
well done
This should have never happened
In many parts of the world, if an American asks locals for directions, they might be ignored, or the locals may pretend not to understand English once they realize the person is American. However, if you tell them you’re Canadian, they’ll often go out of their way to help, even walking with you to ensure you find your destination, offering their smiles and hospitality along the way. This highlights how negatively impactful it can be to travel as an American citizen these days. A significant portion of the world harbors disdain for Americans, particularly due to events like electing a divisive leader such as Trump. It’s seen as a global announcement of how misguided Americans can be in choosing a leader who seems more like a dictator reminiscent of dark chapters in history.
So he was punished to the amount of the crimes he actually committed. Nothing.. thanks.
*Denmark Vows to Seek "Harsh Justice" for Woman Accusing Trump, Reveals Dual Citizenship Connection*
January 12, 2025 — Copenhagen, Denmark
In a dramatic and ground-shaking interview with the head of Denmark's Justice Department last night, it was revealed that one of the women accusing former U.S. President Donald Trump of assault holds dual citizenship with Denmark. The announcement has sent shockwaves through international legal and political circles, as the Danish government vows to take action on her behalf in response to what it calls a failure of the U.S. justice system.
In the candid interview, Denmark's Justice Minister, Anders Jensen, expressed his outrage over the ongoing legal proceedings in the U.S. and pledged that Denmark would not sit idly by. "The U.S. justice system has failed this woman," Jensen stated firmly. "Let me be clear: The Danish justice system will seek harsh justice on her behalf."
The woman in question, whose identity remains protected due to the sensitive nature of the case, has accused Trump of assault, and her claims have been a focal point in the broader debate over his legal and political troubles. While the case has been stalled in the U.S., Denmark's involvement has raised eyebrows due to the dual citizenship connection.
"We do not accept that a Danish citizen, or anyone who shares our values, is denied justice," Jensen continued. "If the legal avenues in the U.S. are not functioning as they should, we will ensure that Denmark's legal system acts decisively."
What has caused further shock is Jensen's statement regarding Denmark’s potential course of action. "We don't send subpoenas for testimony, we send special forces," he declared, in what many analysts are calling an unprecedented and provocative remark. "If necessary, we will bring the full weight of the Danish state to bear to ensure this woman receives justice."
Though the statement was undoubtedly bold, it raises critical questions about Denmark’s role in international legal matters, especially in cases involving its own citizens abroad. Denmark, known for its strong human rights record and commitment to justice, has rarely intervened in the judicial processes of other nations, making this move seem exceptional in the realm of international diplomacy.
The comments have sparked a flurry of reactions from both U.S. officials and the international community. A spokesperson for the Trump campaign quickly responded to the interview, labeling the Danish government’s comments as "a gross overreach" and an "unwarranted interference in American sovereignty." "This is a clear attempt to undermine the American justice system and a direct challenge to our nation's independence," the spokesperson said in a statement.
On the other hand, human rights advocates have lauded Denmark’s stance as an important declaration of support for victims of assault who may not receive the justice they deserve under the legal systems of other countries. "What we are witnessing is a nation standing up for what is right," said Sophie Meyer, an international human rights attorney based in Geneva. "Denmark is making it clear that no one—regardless of their status or power—is above the law."
For Denmark, the decision to pursue action on behalf of the woman, despite the complex international legal implications, signals a bold new approach to justice. The Danish government is clearly prepared to go to great lengths to ensure that its citizens—regardless of where they live—are afforded the same protections and rights that they would receive at home.
Political analysts in Copenhagen have suggested that this aggressive stance could be part of a broader strategy to position Denmark as a global leader in human rights advocacy and an active defender of its citizens, particularly in high-profile cases involving powerful figures. "Denmark is making it clear that it will not stand by when its citizens are at risk of injustice," said Henrik Sørensen, a political analyst at the Danish Institute for International Affairs.
The implications of this situation remain to be seen, as Denmark navigates this unprecedented legal and diplomatic landscape. If Denmark does take formal action, it could lead to a new precedent in international law, with the Danish justice system asserting its rights to act in cases of perceived injustice abroad.
As the case continues to unfold, all eyes will be on Copenhagen, where the Danish government’s bold decision could redefine the role of smaller nations in global legal matters and set a powerful example for others to follow. For now, Denmark's commitment to justice remains unwavering—no matter the consequences.
And know one cares😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
EX PRESIDENTS ARE FELONS AS WELL, JUST NOT CONVICTED!
Maybe he could have been sentenced to house arrest at the White House. Not only would that not have impeded his ability to do the job, it would have enhanced it. It would have kept him from playing golf several times a week for the next four years.
I pay taxes for this crap too.
Symbolic BS
Breaking news would be hostage progress in the middle east.. this is worthlees news.
What a waste of time the USA is a JOKE
😂😂 You cannot convict an innocent man.
1. No one knows what the crime is.
2. No sentence (fine/prison).
3. But he’s still guilty.
4. The whole world is laughing at this.
Not of A felony he’s convicted of 34 felonies

If you really take a look at this whole mess, you’ll find out that ALL of the ‘legal issues’ against Trump have been politically motivated to keep him out of the White House! Nothing more than politics because the ‘left’ is afraid of him and are worried about themselves being arrested for slander and corruption
Waste of time and money on a political witch hunt.
The DA in NYC is a joke. First person who 😂ver got sentenced for a nondisclosure agreement. Crime rampant. No one safe. How many taxpayer millions paid for this?
How awful! Embarrassing to have a president labeled a convicted felon! Will all Americans receive the slap on the hand. He should be in jail for all the crimes committed
