Trump unveils ‘God Bless the USA’ bibles for $60 while facing escalating legal fees: Latest updates

Cesar Conde, NBCUniversal News Group chairman, informed staff they would be severing ties with Ms McDaniel in a memo on Tuesday that read: “After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor.’

Joe Sommerlad reports on the decision:

Here’s more on Trump’s calculated attempt to spin Kennedy’s presidential run as though it only represents a threat to Biden, not to him.

Donald Trump is awake and posting on Truth Social after his late-night attacks on RFK Jr and NBC as he was riding high after receiving his golf club championship trophy.

This morning the former president posted a three-part diatribe about his upcoming criminal trial concerning the hush-money payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign.

Mr Trump feels aggrieved, as demonstrated on Truth Social this morning:

Judge Juan Merchan, who is suffering from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (whose daughter represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals, has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal, and makes it completely impossible for me to get a fair trial) has now issued another illegal, un-American, unConstitutional “order,” as he continues to try and take away my Rights. This Judge, by issuing a vicious “Gag Order,” is wrongfully attempting to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to speak out against the Weaponization of Law Enforcement, including the fact that Crooked Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their Hacks and Thugs are tracking and following me all across the Country, obsessively trying to persecute me, while everyone knows I have done nothing wrong!

Page 2: So, let me get this straight, the Judge’s daughter is allowed to post pictures of her “dream” of putting me in jail, the Manhattan D.A. is able to say whatever lies about me he wants, the Judge can violate our Laws and Constitution at every turn, but I am not allowed to talk about the attacks against me, and the Lunatics trying to destroy my life, and prevent me from winning the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am dominating? Maybe the Judge is such a hater because his daughter makes money by working to “Get Trump,” and when he rules against me over and over again, he is making her company, and her, richer and richer. How can this be allowed?

Page 3: The Judge has to recuse himself immediately, and right the wrong committed by not doing so last year. If the Biased and Conflicted Judge is allowed to stay on this Sham “Case,” it will be another sad example of our Country becoming a Banana Republic, not the America we used to know and love. These are Election Interfering Witch Hunts. We will crush each one of these Hoaxes, and Make America Great Again!

There is no evidence to suggest that President Joe Biden is in any way interfering in local and state prosecutions of the former president, nor is there at the federal level, as Special Counsel Jack Smith is managing those investigations and charges.

Not convinced by Big Jesus Trump?

How about Charles Manson Trump?

The Republican has been dusting down his faux-evangelist, Elmer Gantry act this week, which we now realise was a prelimary to his sudden pivot towards becoming a Bible salesman.

Gustaf Kilander has more on his preposterous Messiah complex.

Alina Habba was on Newsmax last night lashing out over the New York hush money case against Trump after the judge issued the gagging order preventing him from doing so.

She also bemoaned “the demise of the state of New York”, which I’m sure will break hearts all over the Five Boroughs.

Here’s Amelia Neath with the latest from the Daily Show satirist on You Know Who’s $464m crime caper.

Officials in Arizona have subpoenaed Mike Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia racketeering case, as part of a criminal investigation focused into the alleged plot to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 win in their state.

Arizona’s Democratic attorney general, Kris Mayes, is overseeing the probe and is nearing a decision on whether to bring charges, according to CNN.

Mayes has principally centered her investigation on the 11 fake pro-Trump electors from Arizona and the organisers of the effort to instal them with a view to overturning the election result, although she has also reportedly been looking into individuals tied to Trump’s national campaign.

“It’s robust. It’s a serious matter,” she told CNN last year.

“We’re going to make sure that we do it on our timetable, applying the resources that it requires to make sure that justice is done, for not only Arizonans, but for the entire country.”
