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. But I received a comment this morning as follows: How do you… Continue reading How do you respond to a comment like this?

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. Back in 2016 a person would have the excuse of forming an opinion based only on Trump’s involvement in the “reality” television series, “The Apprentice”. That… Continue reading And still they support Trump
What you can learn from Donald Trump about criminal law
Trump, faced with four indictments and ninety-one counts of criminal charges, gave an interview last week on a programme called “Meet the Press”. Given the magnitude of Trump’s narcissism and the size of his ego he could not help himself in the interview. When asked was the insurrection on January 6th his idea or that… Continue reading What you can learn from Donald Trump about criminal law
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 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
Trump indicted on 7 criminal charges
“Trump indicted”. It is with a great deal of pleasure I type those words. I have been watching Trump and the question of his being brought to justice for alleged crimes since he lost the Presidential election to Joe Biden. There was a fear for quite some time that for political reasons he would not… Continue reading Trump indicted on 7 criminal charges
Trump’s arrest and arraignment-the image lingers
Former President of the United States Donald Trump was arrested yesterday and arraigned in respect of thirty odd criminal offences. The criminal charges include misuse of company funds or failing to maintain proper books of account or charges of that nature regarding his companies, and paying hush money to two women with whom he is… Continue reading Trump’s arrest and arraignment-the image lingers
The effects of Trump politics in Irish society
It’s sad and frustrating to see the influence of “Trump politics” in Irish society over the last few years. Perhaps it is my imagination or misconception, but it seems to me, from comments on social media platforms online and protests like those going on in East Wall in Dublin concerning the use of a disused… Continue reading The effects of Trump politics in Irish society
Trump moving closer to a big, orange jumpsuit?
Donald Trump appears to have moved closer to a big-assed orange jumpsuit. The Department of Justice in the United States have appointed a special counsel to investigate Trump’s alleged crimes. And this guy is a career prosecutor who has prosecuted war crimes in Kosovo at The Hague. Trump has immediately sprung into action and has… Continue reading Trump moving closer to a big, orange jumpsuit?
