Unraveling Donald Trump just declared that he has magical powers or something
Just how quickly is Donald Trump unraveling? He’s threatening to hold a press conference on Monday that could be so damaging to his legal prospects, his own lawyers are publicly warning him not to go through with it. Meanwhile Trump is busy announcing on social media that he now has magical powers or something.
Trump announced on Truth Social that “I have full Subpoena Power because of the Freedom of Speech Sham Indictment by Crooked Joe Biden, Deranged Jack Smith, and the DOJ.” It’s pretty darn obvious that he’s not listening to his lawyers, because this isn’t how anything actually works.
As a criminal defendant, Trump does have some limited legal ability to go about mounting a defense. But the notion that he can now magically subpoena and obtain anything he wants, simply because he’s been criminally indicted, is the most cornball thing he’s said to date. It’s just laugh out loud ridiculous.
As always, it appears that Donald Trump isn’t saying this nonsense to try to convince any of us that it’s true, so much as he’s trying to convince himself that it’s somehow true. This is a guy who knows by now that it’s all over for him, and clearly wants to give up, but keeps trying to hang in there by feeding on delusional imaginary magic carpet rescue ideas. Pretty soon he’ll be randomly declaring himself Emperor of the Galaxy.
