Speaking at a Miami rally on Sunday, Donald Trump appeared to admit his guilt for illegally taking classified documents from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago residence.
The former president railed against the FBI and “the very famous raid on Mar-a-Lago” and “the document-hoax case” before making an unexpected confession.
“No other president has ever done this. Presidents leave. They take things. They take documents. They read them,” Trump told the crowd. “Nobody else has ever gone through this. This is a charade.”
Trump then complained that the raid “violated my Fourth Amendment rights,” which declares that any person’s property that is searched must be approved first.
Of course, Trump is lying. The FBI had the warrant necessary to enter his property signed by a federal judge in Florida.
Trump’s confession prompted a swift reaction from legal experts and critics alike.
“More and more admissions…,” news anchor and legal analyst Katie Phang wrote on Twitter.

“The documents are mine. Because they’re perfect and I took them for myself. Such beautiful documents. Boxes and boxes of them. Some say hundreds of classified. Nuclear. Such secrets. You see. You know. I took them. And they’re mine. Mine. Mine mein. America first! No espionage!”

So, admitting he did it?

Imagine what kind of corrupt molten stew Trump’s brain is. Awash in ugliness and treason and deceit and abuse. Broken by lying and malice and vindictiveness. Addled with thoughts of revenge and delusions of grandeur and persecution. Sloshing around in a paranoid fantasy of lying

How many more times can he confess to crimes before something is done about it? 😡

The eight stages of Trump guilt:
1. “I didn’t do it”
2. “I didn’t do anything wrong”
3. “I didn’t do anything illegal”
4️⃣ “The people accusing me are guilty”
5. “The law is illegal”
6. “Prove it!”
7. “What happened didn’t happen”
8. “It’s fine, I did it and I’ll do it again…”— Luke Zaleski (@ZaleskiLuke) November 6, 2022
Why does he sound like he’s in 1940s gangster film?

Why – and I cannot stress this enough – THE FUCK is he not already indicted?
Anyone else would already be in jail.
Indict him.
