Donald Trump Jr. spoke out on his Rumble show Triggered, suggesting that the recent indictment of his father, former President Donald Trump is something that would make even the most extreme authoritarians throughout history blush.
Trump has recently been indicted by the Manhattan grand jury in New York City for allegedly falsifying records after payouts made by his attorney to porn star Stormy Daniels. However, prominent Republicans as well as former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo have characterized the indictment as a clear weaponization of government to go after a political opponent.
Trump Jr. kicked off his segment, saying that he was “even more right” than he would have ever imagined, because “apparently, you know, Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is actually indicting my father.”
“So let’s be clear, folks. This is like communist-level sh*t. This is stuff that would make Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, it would make them blush, it’s so flagrant. It’s so crazy. When even, like, the radical leftists of The Washington Post are out there saying, ‘It’s not really based on facts. It’s not really based on the law. It’s not really based in reality, but it’s 100 percent based on politics.’ When your enemies are saying that, it’s going to tell you everything you need to know right now about where we are as a country."
There are some who believe that Trump’s indictment could ensure his re-election for the presidency in 2024. Last weekend, Trump had his first campaign rally of his presidential run, appearing in Waco, Texa. He was greeted with immense support, despite the looming possibility of an indictment, or even perhaps in spite of it.
Among the speakers at the event were Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, calling for the Republican Party to unite under Trump’s efforts to get back into the White House.
