Does he have an issue with the warrant?
Does he think it's unfair that he should have to defend himself, even without the burden of proof?
Its more bullshit, calculated to appeal to a mixture of sympathetic wannabe criminals and uneducated simpletons.
Nevertheless, they are his supporters, and they can either kill the rest of us or serve on a jury.
We'll see.

@MistyCee Issue regarding the warrant?
The FBI is not revealing what the search warrant was looking for except to falsely claim that Trump didn't have the discretionary power to declassify documents.
Which he definitely did have that power. Look it up.
The second complaint being raised is that the magistrate that approved the warrant was in fact, a lawyer that worked at the justice dept. which Epstien paid to quit and defend his lieutenants and reduce his charges to state level and get a light sentence.
The entire search thing smells like someone high up pulling a scam on the public.
This doesn't hurt his political support. If anything it helps him.

@SteelHands I agree that this mess helps Trump politically, especially with regard to getting the Republican nomination.
I'm not so clear as to what the warrant says, or this stuff about Trump's power to declassify documents and whether he properly executed it while he still had it, but I expect we'll hear plenty more about it.
The magistrate stuff I guess is interesting, but realistically, probably, imo, bs, because most judges have represented clients before, and plenty of judges have worked for the DOJ before and don't need to recuse themselves because of it. It smells like conspiracy crap to me, but we'll see how it pans out.
Realistically, the important issues, IMO, appear to be, 1) what will be uncovered, regardless of the reason for the prima facie lawful warrant, and 2) how will it be spun politically.
As I said before, I think that this is a huge plus for Trump in terms of fundraising and shoving aside potential GOP challengers to the nomination, but down the road for the country, I think its trouble, helping to set up a showdown between Trumpism and the democratic and other norms he despises.

@MistyCee Yep. Between me and you and the border wall though we all know that the Democratic party has become the party of the openly privileged elite.
Well that and their "educalytes" that think Mao and Stalin only killed 6 million people because they were "evil capitalists"

@SteelHands I think you're selling Mao way short there, but maybe I'm an "educalyte" myself. I have no clue what that means.

@MistyCee Meanings and individual inelasticity to pronouncements from on high are just another form of the infinite problem of perception. Make of it whatever you will.
As for little red book China guy.
That no Carnegy/Rockwell/Ford foundation in the CCP or the USSR prexisted their home grown methods of killing off a large swath of their countrymen and women, count me last among any that would strain out any justification. Nor a numerical minimization if that's what you meant.
As for our local tyrants.
Those corporate titans might have been better advised to have been told that by turning the poor into compliant nincompoops they would only be guaranteeing that their own generational offspring eventually became unwitting imbeciles.
You may disagree. However anyone that actually believes you can make a human type conciousness out of even a mountainous pile of code and silicon is extremely lacking in any sort of intellectual depth.
One need only observe the prattle of the "multiplanetary civilization" nonsense from the "world's richest man" to dissolve any illusions with regard to that.
Obviously, one "first moon mission" back, that should have left us a better record. But it did not.
And here we are again.
