    I think Trump supporters see rigged at many levels, and they merely need to follow the words of Trump himself:
    (Note: I don't personally believe any of the following)

    1. The charges are "rigged," because Trump should not face any charges. If he paid off a p*rn star and did whatever else he needed to suppress information from the public, big deal. That's his business.
    2. The court itself is "rigged" because the judge will not let Trump do whatever he wants. The judge is not treating Trump as a special superior person, and that is wrong. Trump shouldn't have to be there, and he should be able to go out campaigning, playing golf, and harassing people on Truth Social.
    3. The jury is definitely "rigged" b/c they are not all wearing MAGA hats.
    4. Finally, everything that Trump claims is "rigged," must absolutely be "rigged," from Iowa primaries to most any state where he did not allegedly carry the majority of votes, to bad reviews of his shows or products. If something allegedly fair goes against Trump, it is automatically not fair and rigged. That any case is is moving forward against Trump's wishes means it is obviously "rigged" by nature.

    I really don't think you need to dig too deeply or ask any supporter what they mean by rigged.
    And I honestly mean no disrespect to anyone. This notion of what rigged means just seems to fit all the evidence before us. For his supporters, words mean whatever Trump says they mean. Reality is what Trump says it is.

    WHEN WILL IT END!?!?!??!!!!!???!!!!!!

    See, here’s the thing. The problem isn’t just that your posts lack merit. The problem is that you have become a predictable dullard and your posts lack any semblance wit, charm or originality.

    Why do we care that Trump isn’t standing up for the jurors?

    Who? That new guy K9? I put that psycho on ignore. Just another MAGA defending foul mouthed jerk. He couldn't carry on a civilized or truthful discussion. I don't even like seeing the garbage guys like that post.

    Thanks but clearly since you don’t believe it is rigged I would like to hear from those who actually think it is why?

    Other than it is yet another reflection of how little trump respects about or supports the rule of law. Same with his using of his cell phone in the court room. In both, any other defendant would be instructed by their counsel and even scolded by the judge to stand when the jury arrives, or not use his cellphone in the courtroom. But instead... trump's offensive behavior is allowed, even accommodated for and with his maga supporters, applauded.

    Okay. Let's see what they come up with and how much it differs from what I wrote. I definitely haven't explored the latest fan-fiction conspiracy rabbit holes.

    He honestly feels he is above any law, his base and his cronies have enabled him to the point to if anything doesn't go his way, its someone else`s fault as he is perfect..............Jesus like to his minions

    maga can't help themselves, but the so called "Christian`s" need to read up on Matthew

    Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves

    1. NO ONE believes Trump will be found guilty much less go to jail . . . EVEN IF HE IS PROVEN GUILTY!!!
    2. All the MAGAs that were mad about the OJ TRIAL . . . now got their own OJ TRIAL

    This trial HAS TO HAPPEN but this is all show.
    Trump is TOO BIG TO JAIL

    This Trial has to happen to demonstrate to the THE POORS OF AMERICA . . .. OF THE WORLD . .. . .

    AMERICA HAS A MULTITIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM
    THAT CAN BE BOUGHT/CORRUPTED/MANIPULATED BY THE RICH AND POWERFUL

    Again

    As he stands before media, saying lots of things...


    Jail would have been the better punishment, but whatever, we know there are two tiers of justice...

    This case is based on misdemeanors which are past the statute of limitations. Bragg brought it as a criminal proceeding by tying the misdemeanors to campaign finance violations... which the Federal Govt had already declined to prosecute. This is a case based on accounting bookkeeping. Dems are breaking 250 years of precedent and are charging a leading Presidential candidate with the thinnest of possible crimes.

    At the heart of all of this is the Dems accusation that Trump was trying to bury bad news... and avoid the media picking it up. As we all know, 90% of media coverage of Trump is negative. That percentage isn't high enough for the command and control liberals -- they want to throw Trump in prison for trying to avoid any more negative media -- just totally absurd.

    About 1/3 of the country believes these charges are valid -- just so you all know. Thank you for self-identifying as the most liberal 1/3rd of the country. Trump continues to rise in the polls as these political prosecutions continue.

    GOOD DAY

    More than 50% of this country knows the charges are real - 2 people have already gone to jail over these charges.

    Most of the people in this country know he is a crook.
