Possible Trump Indictment #3

I had thought his cognitive impairment would've been severe enough by now that he couldn't possibly run.

I really like to see the slipping/breaking his neck option. It seems like a much less dignified way to die.

The judge clearly warned trump not to “threaten or bribe or intimidate a witness” as a condition of his bond.

This seems like it will go well.

Trump irked that judge called him Mr. Trump instead of Mr. President.

But sure, it's liberals who are the snowflakes.

Don't we usually (in formal settings) refer to former presidents with the title "President"?

I actually Googled this but the first page of results didn't have as many consistent, reputable sources as I had hoped. For example, there was a 1992 Miss Manners column saying no (because we can only have one president at a time) and a more recent Emily Post column saying yes.

I think we generally do today. It would sound weird to me to hear Mr. Obama/Bush/Clinton. If one of them was speaking at an event I was attending, I would expect things to say “Featuring Former President X” and then introduced as President X. Calling him Mr. does seem to be a little bit of a loaded jab, but I love that it got under his skin.

On a different note, I’m trying to wrap my brain around just how powerful his followers must think the Biden administration is. They’re so powerful that they can do ALL of this against Trump to keep him from being elected…but they couldn’t keep Roe v Wade in place, or create better health care solutions, or solve other main platform issues. They can’t seem to make anything like that magically happen, yet they can magically pull all of these indictments together?? They have a lot more faith in this Administration’s power and ability to get things done than I do, apparently!

I will never use the word president in front of Trump’s name.

Me neither, and I never once have.

In journalism, they are introduced the first time as "President Trump" and thereafter referred to as "Mr. Trump."

I forgot this was happening today - Trump’s speech will be limited to protect trial, witnesses, judge says

This might be the first judge who isn't putting up with the Trump team's nonsense. She seems stern but fair.
