Brief comment:NO ONE is above the law. If that is somehow becoming not true in the United States, it's time to find another democratic country. OR, stay and fight to take this one back, as I (- and many others -) will..

(Comment: Stormy (per above): Good instincts, but regrettable follow through..)
"...She said she went up to Trump's penthouse hotel suite and was told they'd be going to dinner at one of the restaurants downstairs. When she entered the room, which she described as "three times the size of my apartment," he was wearing "silk or satin" pajamas. She said she quipped, “Does Hugh Hefner know you stole his pajamas?” and asked him to change..."
"...She said she grew frustrated with him because he kept cutting off her answers, and when he pulled out a magazine with him on the cover, she said, "Someone should spank you with that." She said she then rolled it up and "swatted" him with it. While jurors appeared poker-faced through her testimony, one began rubbing her face and appeared to be holding back laughter.
After that, she said Trump was "much more polite" ..."
UPDATE: ↓Video clip from 2016. TRUMP:A goddamn LIAR (on video), who likely "stepped out" on his wife Melania at least once --and probably(?) lied to American voters to cover-up his infidelities -- as the current Manhattan criminal trial will help illustrate:

"Today’s testimony and the text messages being shared on screens here in the courtroom provide a real-time look at the sleazy negotiations that were occurring behind the scenes in early August 2016, while Trump was the Republican nominee and only a few months out from being elected. Publicly, at this time, Trump was consolidating a skeptical G.O.P. establishment behind his candidacy. Privately, his lawyer, Michael Cohen, was discussing the finer points of a hush-money deal that was closing with Karen McDougal and the owner of The National Enquirer."

WRONG(..evil, criminal, unhinged, hateful, etc.):
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”
3/18/24 update: 'King of weasels' Donald Trump is now trying to weasel out of his 'bloodbath' threat. ..AS USUAL, inarticulate Trump was UNCLEAR as he was speaking. He began this particular rambling moment by ranting (wildly speculatively + fact-free, of course) about the supposed near-future of the U.S. auto industry. ..But he kind of trailed off at a key moment while speaking, and then declared "...that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country. That'll be the least of it." ..Unclear, and possibly deliberately ambiguous with the (issuance of a) wider threat.
"The former president opened his speech by praising the people serving sentences in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. Mr. Trump, who faces criminal charges tied to his efforts to overturn his election loss, called them “hostages” and “unbelievable patriots,” commended their spirit and vowed to help them if elected in November.. "
WRONG
"He asserted, without evidence, that other countries were emptying their prisons of “young people” and sending them across the border. “I don’t know if you call them ‘people,’ in some cases,” he said. “They’re not people, in my opinion.” He later referred to them as “animals.”"
WRONG
"At multiple points in his speech Trump repeated the debunked claim that he was cheated out of a win in the 2020 presidential election."
WRONG
"Mr. Trump called Mr. Biden a “stupid president” several times and at one point referred to him as a “dumb son of a — ” before trailing off. He also compared Ms. Willis’s first name to a vulgarity, called Mr. Newsom “Gavin New-scum” ..."
WRONG
"Trump said the criminal indictments against him for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t running for president..."
"“This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles down on his threats of political violence.” ...“He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge.”"
BTW:
..↓THIS line of b.s., (part is highlighted below), which Trump spews out over and over again, IMPLIES THAT YOU(i.e., the audience) may - in fact MUST - have SOMETHING TO HIDE or FEEL GUILTY or SCARED ABOUT, and/or may (- at least -) be CHARGED CRIMINALS,as TRUMP IS...:
(WRONG:)
"“I’m being indicted for you. And never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. That’s what this is all about,” Trump said. “They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you. And in the end they are not after me, they are after you.”"

Rhetorical: ↓Compare and contrast -- Tell me again....:What exactly is somehow supposedly "wrong" (or whatever) about Kamala Harris, again? ..Especially in comparison to the above..?
"We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count."
And,
"“Former President Trump lacked any lawful discretionary authority to defy federal criminal law and he is answerable in court for his conduct,” the panel of judges wrote."
(Brief comment:) ..Ask yourself:Exactly how is "he" (his campaign, presumably) going to do that? ..He/his campaign is going to actually "track" that? Going forward, he/his campaign will somehow refuse donations (and possibly, future votes) ..from certain individuals and entities?? What precisely is "the MAGA camp"? ..Do they have IDs..?

"According to the testimony, which the authors confirmed, Graham said that if you told Trump “that Martians came and stole the election, he’d probably believe you.”"
