He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.
Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”
Pretty sure i just heard the ghost of Henry Kissinger slaping himself in a hurried facepalm.
There has been no consequences to his actions so of course he is going to do whatever he wants.
What’s he got what, 34 federal crime convictions?
He’s still running around and the media is still treating him like some random dude running for president, oh look what crazy don said seven times today!
Shits ridiculous
34 felony convictions for fraudulently interfering in the 2016 election that made him President.
You know, the guy who accuses others of stealing elections from him — and getting people killed over it btw — after he already committed fraud to help win an election.
Every accusation from the right is a confession in disguise.
No, a random dude would have been in prison years ago for doing a fraction of the shit this man has done.
Low level bureaucrats working in municipal government are subject to much stricter ethics rules. It’s absurd.
Trump could punt a baby across a field and nothing would happen.
Supreme court: “To ensure that babies are put in their place, former presidents must enjoy total infant punting immunity.”
To be fair, some babies yearn the yeet.
You know how we throw a baby in the air for fun? Trump doesn’t catch back, just walks away and lets them fall on the floor
So THAT’S what happened to Eric!
You get it
nah there’s no way he touched Eric
Wouldn’t be the first time he has ‘crossed legal lines’.
However, wouldn’t it be great if it was the last time?
Just wait and see: all it takes is for a judge to tell him not to do it - ten consecutive times, THEN threaten with actual consequences, and THEN you may or may not see him become more circumspect about his transgressions in order to skirt the legal line a tiny bit less obviously!
After all: everyone is equal before the law!*
*Unless you bought the highest judges and make them declare you an absolute ruler immune to criminal law.
Alternate title: “Donald Trump DEFINITELY broke the law. You won’t BELIEVE what happened next!”
You underestimate my ability to believe
If anybody deserves to be locked up for being a clear and present danger to society, it’s this guy. At the very least, he should be forbidden from using a phone, then locked up when he eventually breaks that rule because he thinks that none of the rules apply to him. The way he’s treated, the government is basically encouraging that.
Woohoo maybe this time there will be consequences since he is not president and it can’t be an official act …
How has that worked out so far?
Let’s find out in 5 years.
To spoil his legacy like this, he must be so ashamed.
Spoil his legacy? Like, if someone treads in a huge, perfectly formed, steaming hot dog turd? That kind of spoilt legacy?
And shame? The man is a weapons-grade narcissistic arsehole. He doesn’t know the meaning of the word.
Didn’t Nixon do the same thing with the Vietnam war?
Sabotaged the Paris peace talks that traitor, self-serving bastard.
And Regan with Iran hostages. It’s almost like Republicans always pull this shit and never get in trouble for it…
and nothing will happen, like every other time he “crossed legal lines”
Yeah, people are crazy if they think he’ll ever be charged, much less convicted of a single crime. What would Republicans even do then, adopt the slogan “I’m voting for the convicted felon”? Lmao, as if. Ridiculous to even imagine. What next, I bet someone tries to tell me that this already happened? The fools…
They didn’t jail Nixon or that shitbag kissenger for the same shit, doubt anything will be done about this. Hell, both of those asshats got to live out their years rubbing elbows and “advising” the political elite of both parties.
Nor Reagan
Thanks for carrying water.
If that’s how you view it, you’re welcome.
“Doubt anything will be done”
Because the vast majority of the electorate, like you, are clearly fine repeating the same lie
I’ll believe it when he’s in jail. This orange turd is practically made of as slipperonium.
Wow, if only there was something we could do about people crossing legal lines. Alas, we have tried nothing and are out of ideas.
I mean they have tried a few things, republicans keep blocking it.
If only we had, like, books or documents with laws written down in them, so we could know for certain when legal lines are crossed. That way headlines could just say “Trump broke the law”, instead of “Trump may have broken the law. We’re not sure, but yeah probably. We think. Maybe? Who knows?”
I think the last Republican presidential candidate to sabotage peace talks to help his own campaign was Richard Nixon in the Vietnam War, so Trump is just continuing their tradition of killing innocents for personal gain.
Reagan sabotaged the Iran hostages deal
So it is rumored
And those are only the ones we know of; dealing in death is pretty standard fare for people high up in Washington
It’s not rumors anymore. It’s a settled fact.

It’s gonna be awesome in 20 years to hear of Reagans impeachment while the crops and natural world are collapsing. Progress!
Bruh. Reagan.
You don’t say.
