Trump Salutes Lil Pump at FL Rally: ‘Day 1 Supporter’

by
Donald Trump Brings Out Lil Pump On Final Campaign Rally

Lil Pump is on the receiving end of a shoutout from former President Donald Trump. While Trump campaigned in Florida, he hit the stage and highlighted the rapper, calling him a “day 1 supporter.”

“He’s one of the few, rapper Lil Pump,” Trump said. Lil Pump was present in the crowd during the rally.

The Trump shoutout follows Rev. Al Sharpton speaking against rappers who support former President Donald Trump. During an appearance on MSNBC, Sharpton questioned how Black people, including rappers, could support Trump, recalling his history with the Central Park Five.

For a brief history lesson, in 1989, Trump, who was then a prominent New York City businessman, took out several full-page newspaper advertisements calling for New York City politicians to reinstate the death penalty following the brutal rape and attack of a female jogger in New York City. Five youth, Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, and Kevin Richardson, were wrongfully imprisoned for 7-13 years until the attacker was caught. They had been coerced into giving false confessions and received substantial settlements. All are involved in criminal justice activism efforts now. Trump never formally apologized to the five, especially since he took out the ads before their trials began.

“Let’s go to the 1990s when five young Black and brown men were falsely accused of raping a white woman in Central Park,” Sharpton said. “It was Donald Trump that took out ads in the papers in New York saying they should get the death penalty.”

Sharpton later said, “Black men need to know they were all young Black men. One spent 13 years in jail. He was with us for the March on Washington on Saturday. Let them come and tell the rappers and other Black men being seduced by Trump what he did in his hometown to innocent to Black men.”

Rev. Al Sharpton is also speaking against rappers who are standing in support of former President Donald Trump. During an appearance on MSNBC, Sharpton questioned how Black people, including rappers, could support Trump, recalling his history with the Central Park Five.

Trump Falls Out of Forbes Top 400 Richest Americans List

by
Trump Stops by Miami Restaurant for Food and Prayers After Pleading Not Guilty

Former president Donald Trump is no longer one of the richest people, according to Forbes. The top 400 list has dropped, and that list dropped him.

Trump was removed once in 2021 but returned in 2022 at the 343rd slot on the list. He was carrying a net worth of $3.2 billion. Now he once again finds himself on the outside, as his net worth is projected to be just $2.6 billion. Forbes notes that the loss of worth is due to a poor investment in Truth Social, his Twitter alternative, and the depreciation of some of his real estate assets. Trump is believed to have $426 million in liquid assets.

In other news, expensive food won’t hurt the former commander-in-chief because Donald Trump truly loves his fast food. The former president was in court facing a $250 million civil suit for fraud and had a massive McDonald’s order delivered to court.

TMZ notes Trump had a couple members of his security team bring in a hoard of McDonald’s for lunch.

Trump was present in court on Monday with his legal team Clifford Robert, Alina Habba, and Christopher Kise. Likely the crew who were in for the meal.

Trump has been known for his fast food choices, even during his presidency when he hosted the Clemson Tigers National Championship team and Baylor Lady Bears for Big Macs at the White House.

Federal Judge Finds Trump Liable for Fraud and Inflating His Net Worth by Billions

by
trump

Former President Donald Trump has been found liable for fraud. A federal judge ruled Trump and his company have inflated the value of his properties for years, leading to a misevaluation of his net worth by billions.

Following the ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron shut down Trump’s New York business certificates and a independent receiver will now manage the dissolution of the entities under those canceled certificates.

According to CNBC, Trump’s lawyer, Chris Kise, stated the decision is “outrageous.” Engoron also dismissed Trump’s dismissal of this case while stating a connected civil case is no longer needed due to how egregious the act was.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in damages in the case and wants to shut down possibility of Trump and his sons doing business in the state.

“Today, a judge ruled in our favor and found that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization engaged in years of financial fraud,” James wrote on X. “We look forward to presenting the rest of our case at trial.”

Judge Kise also fined each attorney who represented Trump in the court filings $7,500.

Trump Hires Gunna’s Lawyer Before Surrendering on Georgia RICO #TrumpMugShot

Trump Hires Gunna's Lawyer Before Surrendering on Georgia RICO

Trump’s Georgia RICO case already drew comparisons to the YSL Rico case due to both being executed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. But now we reach a deeper criminal link as Trump has hired a new lawyer ahead of his surrender, Steven Sadow, who recently represented Gunna and secured the rapper’s Alford plea deal.

According to WSB-TV, Trump brought in Sadow just ahead of his visit to Fulton County. Sadow spoke with ABC News about his new client.

“I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case,” Sadow said. “The President should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him. We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open-minded jury finding the President not guilty. Prosecutions intended to advance or serve the ambitions and careers of political opponents of the President have no place in our justice system.”

Facing a 41-count indictment, Trump’s bravado against charges is reportedly gone. An insider told Page Six, Trump’s indictment has “brought about a change.” The insider added, “he’s not so confident anymore. He’s not acting so cocky anymore. He’s not lashing out so much. The arrogance is gone.”

A bond of $200,000 has been set for Former President Donald Trump in a Georgia RICO indictment that also charges 18 of his business associates. According to The New York Times, Trump and the defendants must pay a cash bond upon booking in Atlanta.

As a condition of his bond, Trump cannot violate state or federal laws or communicate with his co-defendants individually. All conversations with others charged must come through legal representatives. In addition, if he was told not to intimidate witnesses or co-defendants. Additional orders included “make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community,” which includes “posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media.”

President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants will be booked into Fulton County Jail. In addition to Trump, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and more will be booked at the jail on Rice Street. That includes Trevian Kutti, who once was a publicist for R. Kelly and Kanye West. All charged party members will be fingerprinted and have a mugshot.

“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said.

According to The New York Times, once Trump is arraigned, a judge will be assigned who will schedule the trial.

Returning to Truth Social, his Twitter/X alternative, Trump blasted the charges by issuing, “So, the Witch Hunt continues!” Trump also attacked Willis, writing she is an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney who campaigned and raised money on, ‘I will get Trump.’”

Earlier this week, Donald Trump received his fourth indictment, a RICO charge, in the state of Georgia for attempting to overturn election results in the state to stay in power. Trump, his advisors, and staff are accused of organizing a “criminal enterprise” against official election results. A grand jury handed down the indictment.

A new 100-page indictment names Trump and 18 others as charged with lying to Georgia legislature and state officials, creating a fake pro-Trump slate for the Electoral College, harassing election workers, engaging in a cover-up, and four more crimes. There are officially 41 counts. Of those indicted are Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and Kenneth Chesebro.

The leading charge against Trump was issued under the RICO law, short for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, originally set to target the mafia and organized crime. The RICO law has been notable throughout Hip-Hop, specifically regarding the YSL chase involving Young Thug. The charges against Trump and Thugger were both brought forth by Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis.

Trump and his co-defendants now have until Aug. 25 to surrender to Fulton County, GA. “We look forward to a detailed review of this indictment, which is undoubtedly just as flawed and unconstitutional as this entire process has been,” Trump’s legal team said in response.

According to The New York Times, once Trump is arraigned, a judge will be assigned who will schedule the trial.

Returning to Truth Social, his Twitter/X alternative, Trump blasted the charges by issuing, “So, the Witch Hunt continues!” Trump also attacked Willis, writing she is an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney who campaigned and raised money on, ‘I will get Trump.’”
