Donnie John goes gun shopping and is pictured holding a new Glock. Purchasing a gun while under indictment is against federal law. Should Trump be locked up or do laws not apply to Republicans?
He didn't buy it. And he couldn't with 91 felony charges against him. But I read that it was even illegal for him to be holding that gun in South Carolina.
@Ynotisay One of his aides said tweeted he did buy it, but then deleted the tweet and changed his story when he found out it was illegal. Who knows what the real story is. 🤷♂️
Trump's campaign said he bought the gun; then the campaign reversed itself. My guess is he really did buy the gun but then someone with half a brain convinced him of his mistake and he quickly returned it.
A video posted on X by Trump spokesman Steven Cheung — which was later deleted — showed that the gun in question featured a print of the former president's face.
Trump stopped at the Palmetto State Armory in Summerville, S.C., to look at guns after meeting with campaign volunteers in the critical early-voting state.
In the video, Trump pointed to the Glock and said "Wow," before adding: "I've got to buy one. I want to buy one."
In the now-deleted X post, Cheung wrote: "President Trump purchases a @GLOCKInc in South Carolina!"
the laws don't seem to apply to democrats, why should it be any different for republicans. maybe the reality is, laws are applied differently based on how much money and power someone has and less to do with a specific political affiliation...
@whowasthatmaskedman American legal system has always been a joke, most judges can be bought off and all lawyers are nothing more than ambulance chasing, money grubbing whores.
@independentone maybe an act of defiance against the law .but if a law is broken trump should be shown no leniency the law applies to one and all in the united states even donald j trump
He is also a convicted felon. Rape.......30 some criminal felony counts for his Trump University conviction.........IRS charities fraud in NY State----2 counts. And the list goes on.
The photo OP was for NRA dollars. His backers have dropped him---the Kock Brothers and others. Several of his cult PAC's have moved back. He's spending sucker donation money like crazy that they sent to him for his campaign.........to pay his personal legal bills instead. Ovber $40 billion in the last 6 months alone. This morning a NY State judge found him guilty of fraudulent business practices in NY State as far back as trump's records go...so now he could face a $250 million fine and lose his Tower and whatever assets they take to pay that judgement.......... because trump SURE won't pay that on his own.
He's cash strapped. So the photo op was to sucker the NRA into sending him money.
It’s not so much political affiliation as big stacks of cash. And/or big stacks of fame. So yes I’m sure it was illegal for him to do that. But he’s going to get away with everything anyway He might even be found guilty but he’ll do no time. And they probably won’t find him guilty before the election. So he will get to run. Even though everything says that that should not be the case
@familyfunguy From my understanding it was actually illegal for him to even hold a gun in South Carolina. He "received" a gun that traveled across state lines. But your point is solid. If the law came after him he'd used that BIGLEY.
@JSul3 so.. we’re not going to acknowledge that whom ever your getting your info from left a very large chuck of info out to give their bs trump bought a gun story some weight?
@JSul3 ain't gonna happen. in this case the SCOTUS has already pretty much overturned the law he would be charged with. they actually got one right, blind squirrels sometimes find a nut...
A person who is under indictment or information for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year cannot lawfully ship, transport, or receive a firearm or ammunition. Such persons may continue to lawfully possess firearms and ammunition obtained prior to the indictment or information, but cannot do so once the conviction becomes final.
