I support this message. Judge Marchan should make it happen
Trump says on Truth Social that it would me “my great honor” to go to jail for violating Judge Merchan’s gag order and that it will make him a “modern day Nelson Mandela.”
Trump will never be anything close to a Nelson Mandela
I'd argue that Al Capone was still a better person than Trump could ever be.
I had a friend whose uncle was a bakery owner in Chicago during Capone's time and the uncle liked him because Capone was always respectful, decent, and paid well for what he bought in the guy's shop.
Anecdotes aren't evidence but even so, I can't see Trump ever doing anything like that.
And yes, Capone was still a horrible person in general.
Oh, agreed that he's below Capone!
I just would put him "far below" rather than "slightly below."
Capone, as awful as he was, had redeeming qualities. Trump has none.
@Kinnison This would only be true if Mandela was jailed for making "your mama so fat" jokes about PW Botha.
Somehow I don't believe there is a link between wanting freedom for a person's race and the ability to shit talk the judge's family.
#OrangeJesus may have to find another persecuted historical figure to compare himself too. Maybe he could try Ann Frank next?
@Kinnison On a scale of Al Capone to Nelson Mandela, Trump is slightly below Al Capone.
