In TrumpWorld, bad news is good news if it keeps Trump in the headlines. It’s a neurosis.

I just read this article, my first from The Racket News service. It appears that The Racket News service does not really report the news, but rather the writers opinion of who the news story is about. Sadly, this is not unexpected. Try reporting just the news and let the reader form their opinion from the facts that you provide. If you must opine in your reporting, then present other sides to your opinion. Your description of Trump shielding himself with layers of underlings, to include an attorney, sounds quite like Joe Biden. I am not a Trump fan, but I certainly believe that Biden’s hands are just as dirty. Try opining like that!

"What separates Trump from the Bidens and Pences with classified documents in their garages and attics is the fact that Biden and Pence did the right thing and called in the FBI when the material was found."

Once again, you really do not know what Biden and Pence did. You know only the story that they and their lawyers concocted for public release. It may or may not be true. We do know what Trump did is pretty much what he said except the declassification part is questionable. I do know he could have released the classified documents to the press if he wished to do so while he was President.

One of my points was that the reaction of Trump supporters to this overtly political prosecution would galvanize support for him amongst his supporters and likely amongst those afraid of America becoming another Banana Republic.

This political persecution reminds me of the Brazilian, Chilean and Nigerian governments handling of past presidents. Besides the obvious lack of credibility, don't they realize that it is just going to get him elected next go around. The left won't be able to generate enough "so called" legitimate votes next time around to overcome the 74 Million votes that President Trump will surely get next time with all of this publicity.
