Hey remember this?
Well, now take a look at this:
Yes, that's FOX News *ding* *ding* *ding* *ding*
"Whoa whoa whoa! Why are you giving yourself that many CNN points? That's one video."
So as you can see, Trump left court today with a big pile of paper and said
"Well that's certainly a handful of paper. There must be many stories in there."These are all stories over the last few days from legal experts...But all of these are stories from legal experts saying how this is not a case. ‘The case is ridiculous.’ There’s another one, ‘The case is ridiculous, Trump indictment, it’s missing fraud, there is no fraud.'
No, watch the video. There are headlines in there. Each "story" is a source, a headline, and a picture of Trump. But take a look, do you see anything written under the picture?
"Which picture?"
Any.
"...well the first one. But after that, he keeps everything clumped together, he holds it so you can't see anything under the picture, and more than half the time they're not facing the camera."
Almost as if he's hiding something, huh? Notice anything else?
"Um, they're all paper clipped in the middle of the top side, which is not where you paper clip anything you actually want to read. The pages won't turn and you can't see the top half of the page. So, nobody read those printouts. For all we know, every page after the first is blank."
Correct. If you see the end of Trump's...let's say "statements", he gets near the end and says "I'd like to read that". He hasn't even read the headlines and there's fewer than 20. Anything else you notice?
"All the shown parts are exactly the same format. Headline/logo of source, headline in the same font, picture exactly the same dimensions."
Correct. What would cause that?
"If they all came from the same social media source which force-aligns pictures. Are these all from Truth Social?"
That'd be my guess. If anyone recognizes that template, please let me know what it's from.
And even "from the last few days" he was only able to get that many padded stories. From what you can see, the National Review is the plurality, he shows one FOX News logo and names two more (that's four dings, one for the video and one for each headline in the pile). Also, speaking of "from the last few days" did you catch him mention Rolling Stone?
"Yes, they said they don't like Bragg's chances."
Well, Trump said that, yes. Want to see the article?
"...this is from March 30. This is not 'from the last few days'."
Well yes, and more yes. March 30, 2023. It was published after the grand jury indicted. By the way, how many lawyers were quoted in that article?
"Uh...two. Two whole lawyers. And one of them says:"
"I don't think Trump read the article."Given that Alvin Bragg is a former federal prosecutor in one of the most prestigious, if not the most prestigious, U.S. attorney’s offices in the country, and given what we know — that he had backed off of this prosecution for a couple of years before reapproaching it — that he has to have a fairly high level of confidence that they can make their case if they’re going to return an indictment.
Trump is still trying to win this case outside of the courtroom, because he can't win inside the courtroom. He's using sleight of hand, stage magic, and as per usual, outright lying.
