The Trump criminal trial in New York commences this morning with opening statements in the case. It will be fascinating and is expected to last for 6 to 8 weeks. Two things I will be looking for over the course of the trial are Trump’s hubris and narcissism will be big factors in determining the… Continue reading The Trump criminal trial in New York-2 things I will be watching for

Donald Trump’s obvious contempt for the Judge, court and entire legal system is on open display in his New York civil fraud case.

Part of the deal is a commitment to give evidence against Trump in the trial involving charges of a conspiracy to overthrow democracy in January 2020 in the United States.

Blind, unwavering, uncritical support-is there no limit?
I have made videos about Seán Quinn, Donald Trump and Enoch Burke over the last 12 months or so, often more than one video-for example, if there was some development involving one or more of these individuals. I have strong views on all three individuals, but I will not bore you with those views now.… Continue reading Blind, unwavering, uncritical support-is there no limit?
How do you respond to a comment like this?
I published a video this week about the valuable criminal law lesson you can learn from Donald Trump. I shared it on Facebook, as I do with all my videos, and received a good deal of comment about it. That is not unusual.

And still they support Trump
I find it hard to believe the level of support that Donald Trump still commands given everything we now know about Trump and what type of individual he is.

The only way Trump is avoiding a conviction (and jail)
Former President Donald Trump has been federally indicted for the third time, it was announced this morning on the radio. This latest indictment, like the previous two, is not trivial or inconsequential. They are serious crimes, if proven, carrying hefty prison sentences. The only way Trump will avoid conviction and jail is to win the… Continue reading The only way Trump is avoiding a conviction (and jail)

Donald Trump, faced with a litany of allegations of criminal behaviour contained in a 44 page indictment in the Florida legal system, continues to give interviews on television in which he admits to the crimes.

The stunning cynicism of Donald Trump and the so-called culture wars
I came across a video on YouTube last week called “Donald Trump just admitted what the GOP’s anti-trans agenda is all about”. The video shows how Trump, and other politicians, discovered that there are certain hot button topics which will incite and energise voters more than more noble, worthy causes. And if you are cynical… Continue reading The stunning cynicism of Donald Trump and the so-called culture wars
