He pleaded not guilty on both Thursday and Friday this week to new felony counts (78 so far) of undermining democracy and obstruction of justice. Which is ironic considering what Trump said back in 2016 about Hillary Clinton, who has racked up a total of zero indictments&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57311\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump: Presidential Candidates Under Felony Indictment Have \u2018No Right to Be Running\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s flaming fear of finally being held to account for his lifetime of crime has been on full display. He is lashing out furiously at his perceived enemies with rancid and infantile insults at politicians and the press. But most of all, Trump is super mad at the prosecutors who are doing their duty to uphold the law.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has frequently lobbed accusations of racism at Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General, Letitia James, and Fulton County, Georgia  D.A., Fani Willis, all of whom are Black. And he has repeatedly <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57349\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">referred to special counsel Jack Smith as a <em>&#8220;deranged&#8221; &#8220;leftist&#8221; &#8220;thug&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> who is doing the bidding of <em>&#8220;Crooked&#8221;<\/em> Joe Biden. Never mind that neither Biden, nor his Attorney General Merrick Garland, have had anything to do with Smith&#8217;s investigation or indictments. That&#8217;s why independent special counsels are appointed.<\/p>\n<p>None of that, however, has deterred Trump from making wild and wholly unsupported claims of <em>&#8220;prosecutorial misconduct&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;election interference.&#8221;<\/em> And on Friday Trump summed up his outrage in a meme (posted above) that puts his idiocy on exhibit for the world to see.<\/p>\n<p>The meme features a picture of Biden and the four prosecutors (so far) that are probing Trump&#8217;s multitude of crimes. He calls them <em>&#8220;The Fraud Squad.&#8221;<\/em> But the problem with that is that Trump&#8217;s limited capabilities with the English language make this meme a compliment, rather than the attack that he intended.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the <em>&#8220;Homicide Squad&#8221;<\/em> goes after murderers, and the <em>&#8220;Vice Squad&#8221;<\/em> goes after crimes of moral offenses (gambling, prostitution, drugs), the Fraud Squad would go after swindlers, hustlers, and con men. In other words, Trump. Therefore, his graphic is actually a tribute to the President and the law enforcement officials who are seeking to bring Trump to justice.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s rap sheet for fraud is long and well documented. His phony <em>&#8220;university&#8221;<\/em> was shut down and he was ordered to pay $25 million to his victims. His New York charity, the Trump Foundation, was also shuttered and he and his family were prohibited from running any other non-profits in the state for five years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=38199\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Here\u2019s a Quick Primer on the Criminal Corruption of the Trump Foundation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to his misdirected meme, Trump also posted an overt threat just hours after he was warned not to do so by Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing his case in Washington, D.C. He raged that <em>&#8220;IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I&#8217;M COMING AFTER YOU!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump posts threat to&#8230; Prosecutors?

They are nevertheless dangerous because they are signals to his cult disciples who might be crazy enough to carry out his retribution for him. Then they would suffer the consequences of arrest and imprisonment while Trump bellies up to the breakfast bar and crashes weddings at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Which is likely where the Fraud Squad will find him after he is convicted and they are ready to transport him to the penitentiary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57605\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Hypes Hostile \u2018Trump Revenge Tour\u2019 Promising that \u2018If He Wins He\u2019ll Be Out for Blood\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poor Donald Trump.
