Don’t Buy Trump’s Lies
by EDITORIAL
Trump was barely sequestered in his haven in Palm Beach when he unleashed a barrage of reactions to his indictment and arraignment. According to one account, he was practically inaudible when he said “Not guilty” to the 34 felony counts against him.
But he was loud and vociferous back in Mar-a-Lago, defining the court appearance and the charges “an insult to our country.” Aha, those are just the words we can slap on him, like the ones seen repeatedly at Tuesday’s counter demonstration outside the Manhattan courthouse.
Trump, your behavior epitomizes that statement because you are “an insult to our country.” Not to gloat, but we were hoping to see you fingerprinted and shackled with an accompanying mugshot. Alas, it’s embarrassing enough, perhaps, to have you mocked on social media, a sad clown resorting to no end in your quest for power and prestige.
The signs outside the Manhattan Criminal Courts said it all for us: “Trump the thug,” “Not above the law,” and “Lock him up!” The largest one outlined on the ground at the park across the street from the courthouse repeated the large banner emblazoned with the words “Don’t Buy Trump’s Lies.”
Unfortunately, we know that far too many Americans still embrace his lies, and a host of them are poised to carry out his provocations. That’s a sad commentary on the espoused American creed, and we have to chuckle at Trump’s recent Tweet that he can’t believe his arrest is happening in America. Well, arraigned one, you better believe and get ready for more rounds of “insult” as you call the drumbeat of justice.
Over the next several months we are sure to witness more charges against him and more inane responses as we move toward the trial date. And, to be sure, he’s going to use all the media attention to his advantage, so don’t go for the dope’s hooey. Don’t buy the lies.
