Election Interference Like This Country Has Never Seen Before...
But Trump Won't Quit And They Can't Slow Down The Teflon Don With The Midas Touch
How unfair is the recent judgment that New York Attorney General Laetitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron just hit presidential candidate Donald J. Trump with last week?
It's this unfair: to appeal the $354 million fine imposed by Judge Engoron, Trump has to put up the entire amount of the fine plus about $100 million for the bond **while he appeals this insane judgment**.
As law professor Jonathan Turley discusses in his post here, Trump has to hand over a $455 million deposit. That is a sum of almost half a billion dollars.
That’s right. Trump has to hand the court nearly half a billion dollars to appeal this judgment. And this court won’t an IOU or a check. Trump has to come up with the cash.
Every legal expert in the mainstream media agrees that the massively ludicrous fine that the New York state legal system just imposed on Trump will be reversed or, at the very least, significantly reduced. But a higher court making such a ruling is months away, maybe not even until next year. The 2024 Presidential election is now a mere 8 1/2 months away.
The real purpose of what Laetitia James, Judge Engoron, and the Biden White House are conspiring to achieve in this fraudulent case is now emerging.
The purpose was to financially drain Donald Trump’s resources while he is engaged in running for reelection as the US President.
Running for President and setting up a national campaign with offices and staff in all fifty states is a costly endeavor. And unlike Biden, who doesn’t really campaign hardly at all, Trump holds numerous rallies nationwide. All that takes money. A lot of money.
So the plan that Trump’s crafty enemies came up with more than two years ago was to make damn sure that as he is being forced to spend much of his time during this election year of 2024 inside various courtrooms in New York, Washington DC, Georgia, and Palm Beach, Trump is **also** being hit with massive legal judgments running into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Thus far this year - it is only February - Trump has been hit with this massive legal judgment from Engoron and the 83.3 million dollar defamation judgment in the E Jean Caroll lawsuit. Assuming the interest amount Trump will have to add to both decisions while he is appealing them, he’s so far on the hook for well over five hundred million.
Most ordinary men would have taken the powerful hint The Machine was giving them with all this lawfare being constantly thrown at them. The Machine has one message: “You are not one of us; we do not want you back in the White House, and there is nothing we won’t do; no measure is too absurd or unconstitutional to prevent your return to power.”
And it is true.
If Trump were an ordinary man, it is quite true that all the spying, the bullshit impeachments, the endless lawfare would have broken him by now. An ordinary man would have looked at what he and his family were being subjected to by The Machine and shrugged and said, “I love my country, and I want to fix it and make it great again…but nothing is worth this. I can’t put my family through this anymore.”
No one could blame Donald Trump if he quit the race by this point, if only to protect his family from being dragged into all of this vicious lawfare.
But you look at Trump at the rallies he’s holding, and you don’t get any sense of a man approaching a desperate end, looking over his shoulder nervously for the coming doom. Despite all the insane levels of lawfare, despite the massively over-the-top financial penalties being leveled at him, Trump appears to be more robust than ever.
The present contrast between Trump, who is functioning at an extremely high level while under an intense amount of pressure that would break most ordinary men as he runs for the nation’s top job, only throws a huge spotlight on the sharp differences between him and the feeble and demented old man who shuffles around the White House while often appearing confused and lost.
Anyone asking if Trump can handle the President’s job a second time after watching how he’s blown through an avalanche of opposition over the past year - much of it coming from his own party, the GOP he is supposedly leading - is not asking a serious question.
Now, just as they’re trying to bankrupt him and drain his cash-on-hand so he can’t effectively campaign for President, Trump had a long-term initiative finally pay off when, for some strange reason, Biden’s SEC suddenly got around to approving the long-awaited DWAC merger, something that many commentators believe is going to almost double Trump’s wealth.
On top of that, Trump also unveiled a new fundraising gimmick involving a limited edition gold-colored sneaker line selling for $395.00. The Never Surrender High Tops!
Even as all of Trump’s enemies howled in laughter and instantly dismissed the gold sneakers, they sold out. Some are now selling for up to $45,000 on eBay.
This is why they’ll never break him.
Now….even now…even after all these years of desperately trying to stop him and take him down? They still can’t see him accurately. They still can’t figure out how he takes their attacks and turns them around on them.
Trump’s enemies love pointing out all the failed business ventures he attempted. They never dwell on those that worked or how Trump learned from his many failures - which is something most of his enemies don’t seem to be able to do.
They still view him as an exceptionally lucky dumbass swaggering Alpha-Male blowhard who can’t control his impulses and who is very far beneath them in intelligence.
That is a massive mistake, as he’ll keep trolling them into making that mistake, and they will fall for it every damn time because they can’t help it. Their arrogant nature makes them the perfect marks for someone like Donald J. Trump. This is why they repeat the same mistakes with him over and over and over again. And they don’t learn. They are trapped because they can’t change their arrogant nature, so Trump will always have a crucial advantage over them.
You can’t bankrupt The Teflon Don with the Midas Touch. They’ll keep trying over the next couple of months, of course. They’ll never just give up. Remember, this is an existential fight for many of Trump’s - and our - enemies at this point. Either he is destroyed, or they are.
I know who I’m betting on to win this contest.
If they could stop him? Wouldn’t they have done it by now? The fact they haven’t stopped him yet is a powerful hint that ‘The Machine’ has had its power broken.

A classic case of FAFO on their way to the Trump Quicksand. The man NEVER forgets. EVER! Just ask the two Michaels, Cohen and Avenatti, and they were very small potatoes. As you've noted, Brian, Trump is absolutely baiting all of this to himself as a critical part of The Great Awakening. This is all about waking We The People - an overwhelming majority of us - the "F" up so we turn out on November 5 in such overwhelming numbers, Trump is aiming for 150 million and all 50 states, that no amount of election fraud and corruption could possibly flip the outcome, like it did in 2020. Given that "no win" scenario, the Deep State will have no choice but to try to cancel the election all together, exactly like they've accused Our President of planning. That action would trip the existing backup election plan using paper ballots and poll books into action, absolutely eliminating any chance at a stolen or cancelled election. This scenario thanks to Dave at X22. At that point, Our President would be the Deep State's worst nightmare with the overwhelming mandate from the voters and a majority Congress, he can complete his life's mission of dealing the Deep State a death blow.
