Trump’s Campaign-Style Video After FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago Club: Full of Lies, False and Misleading Statements
Trump STOLE Classified Top Secret Documents
If Any Official Took This Many Documents, They Would Be In Jail
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, on Sunday warned of riots if former President Trump is prosecuted over the handling of classified materials found when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago. Also, the Wall Street Journal editorial board asks if that’s all there is with the affidavit. Joe Scarborough weighs in on the Republican response and notes that if any member of Congress, any ambassador, any intelligence member took that many documents, they would be in jail.

What’s Missing From The Stolen Documents
Ali Velshi speaks to former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, and Pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston about what we learned from the FBI inventory of the classified government documents that were seized from Mar-A-Lago and how Donald Trump fits into a classic “Law & Order” archetype.
Trump’s Hypocrisy On Display Over His Handling Of ‘Top Secret’ Documents
During the 2016 presidential race, Donald Trump repeatedly attacks Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email serve. As President, he even signed a law that increased penalties for mishandling classified information. Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman and NYU School of Law professor Melissa Murray joined American Voices with Alicia Menendez to discuss Trump’s own misuse of classified documents.
Trump made 18 statements of material fact in his new campaign-style video. Almost 90 percent are false or misleading.
Per the above article from the Washington Post which Fact Checked Trump’s Campaign-Style Video;
“We are a nation that has the highest energy cost in its history …”
False: Trump is speaking about nominal prices, not real prices. Gasoline prices spiked after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but adjusted for inflation, monthly retail prices still did not top June 2008’s inflation-adjusted price of $5.38 a gallon, according to the Energy Information Administration. U.S. residential retail electricity prices jumped sharply in 2021 but inflation-adjusted prices have been higher, according to the EIA. Natural gas prices, adjusted for inflation, also have been higher.
“ … and we are no longer energy independent or energy dominant, which we were just two short years ago.”
False: This was one of Trump’s favorite false claims from his presidency. The United States was never energy independent when he was president; it continued to import millions of barrels of oil per day.
“We are a nation that is begging Venezuela and Saudi Arabia for oil.”
Misleading; Canada is by far the largest oil exporter to the United States, accounting for more than 60 percent of total U.S. crude oil imports in 2021, according to the EIA. Saudi Arabia supplied just 6 percent. Russia supplied 3 percent, but after the invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, Biden banned Russian energy imports. The administration has urged Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela to increase gas exports to help reduce prices in the United States.
“We’re a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan, leaving behind dead soldiers, American citizens …”
Misleading; Biden implemented the withdrawal plan that Trump had negotiated and wanted to act on. The departure was certainly mismanaged, but it’s unknown whether Trump would have done any better.
“ … and $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment in the world.”
Misleading; We’ve previously given this claim Three Pinocchios. The $85 billion number represents all the money appropriated to train, equip and house the Afghan military and police since the U.S. invasion of 2001; moreover, not all of it had been disbursed by the time the Afghan government fell. At best, about 30 percent of this money was spent on equipment, but over two decades, a significant percentage of this equipment may have become obsolete or been destroyed.
“We are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country, Ukraine, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and it will only get worse.”
False: The United States did not allow Russia to do anything — and Biden has been credited with rallying U.S. allies to stand firm against the Russian attack and imposing sweeping sanctions against the government led by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We’re a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never before. We’ve never seen anything like this.”
Misleading; Trump appears to associate any investigation of him as an investigation of the “opposing party” — and of course he dismisses any queries into his post-election efforts to overturn the election or his business practices as illegitimate.
“We are a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. Fake news is about all you get. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed.”
False: The ad here flashes an image of Trump’s Twitter account that was suspended after he repeatedly violated the company’s rules. But Trump posted this video on his new platform, Truth Social — showing free speech is still alive and well. Trump is also hosting the video on Rumble, a platform for far-right content that gained popularity after social media companies cracked down on misinformation related to the coronavirus and the 2020 election.
“Where crime is rampant like never before.”
False: Violent crime rose during the pandemic, but one or two years of data is not enough to make a trend — and murder and violent crime rates are still well below levels reached in the early 1990s.
“Where the economy has been collapsing.”
False: Economists are divided as to whether the United States is at risk of entering a recession, but the robust July jobs report showed that all of the jobs lost during the pandemic-related economic collapse that started under Trump have been recovered.
“Where more people died of covid in 2021 than in 2020.”
Misleading: The pandemic effectively emerged in March 2020 — only 26 deaths were recorded for January and February — so essentially 2020 is a 10-month number compared with 12 months in 2021. Moreover, a surge in cases at the end of 2020 — when Trump was still president — led to many deaths at the start of 2021, before vaccines became widely available.
“We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon …”
Misleading: Trump terminated the agreement negotiated by the Obama administration that had halted Iran’s program, claiming he could get a better deal. He never did, and Biden so far has been unable to revive the previous agreement.
“ … and China to use the trillions and trillions of dollars it’s taken from the United States …”
False: Trump persists in misunderstanding trade deficits. Countries do not “take” money from another country if it has a trade surplus. Trade deficits with China persisted during every year of Trump’s presidency — the goods and services trade deficit was $285.5 billion in 2020 — but the trade benefited both countries. China was the United States’ third largest goods export market in 2020, according to the U.S. Trade Representative.
“..to build a military to rival our own.”
Misleading: China announced in 2019, when Trump was president, it would seek military parity with the United States by 2027. The Indo-Pacific Command, in a May report to Congress, said $67 billion in new military spending was needed to maintain the U.S. military edge.
“We are a nation that over the past two years is no longer respected or listened to all around the world.”
False: A Pew Research Center survey of 16 countries found a significant uptick in ratings of the U.S. image after Biden became president.
“We are a nation … whose educational system is ranked at the bottom of every nation.”
False: For decades, U.S. students have lagged some of their peers in industrialized countries such as South Korea and Finland, but it’s wrong to claim the U.S. educational system is “ranked at the bottom of every nation.” The United States ranked in the middle of the pack in the 2018 OECD program for International Student Assessment (PISA), a triennial survey of 15-year-old students. “Students in the United States performed above the OECD average in reading (505 score points) and science (502), and below the OECD average in mathematics (478),” the report said. “Their scores were similar to those of students in Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom in at least two of these three subjects.”
Trump Looks Guilty As Hell After Suggesting FBI Planted Evidence At Mar-A-Lago
Donald Trump is trying to confuse the public about what really happened during the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago, and he has put the idea out there that he “hopes” they didn’t plant anything there to get him in trouble. Other Republicans have jumped on this bandwagon, with lawmakers and right wing media personalities now trying to claim that Trump is being framed.
Trump has a history of LYING and making insane conspiracy theory claims as he did about Ted Cruz’s father in the above video. When he’s beaten, he claims he was cheated as he did in the tweet below accusing Ted Cruz of “Stealing the Election”.
Everything Trump Loses Is ‘Rigged’
From the Mueller probe to mail-in voting, here are all the things Trump says are ‘rigged.’
In the latest episode of KrassenCast, Episode 2: The Narcissistic-Paranoid-Sadistic-Psychopath President, we sat down for an interview with renowned psychologist Dr. John Gartner, for his insight into the mind of President Donald Trump. The entire episode, including a 25 minute in depth interview with Gartner, can be on Patreon, iTunes and Soundcloud.
Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia
Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.
“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.
“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”
“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”
“While Gartner stopped short of saying that Trump is the next incarnation of Hitler, he did emphasize the importance of looking back at history as a means to try and prevent the catastrophes of the past from happening yet again”.
In speaking of Trump, Gartner did not imply that Trump would follow in the path of Hitler, but he did underscore his belief that “these are the kind of people who really can commit genocide,” when comparing the two men.
According to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have at least five of the symptoms listed below;
- Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others
- Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
- Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
- Needing constant admiration from others
- Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
- Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
- Unwilling to empathize with others’ feelings, wishes, or needs
- Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them
- Pompous and arrogant demeanor.
Psychiatrist Warns That Trump Has Become More ‘Psychotic’ As Trials Get Closer
Per the article referenced in the above video at; salon.com/2024/02/02/either-malpractice-or-criminal-dr-justin-frank-on-power-and
“Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he is a lawless person — but his malign influence extends far beyond himself.
We are a society more divided than united. Many of us are anti-intellectual and don’t want to think. That makes such people attracted to strongmen and bullies like Trump. Trump has made his followers reject the truth for alternate facts – and that makes most of us insecure and uncertain about what to believe.
Trump’s “dangerous charisma” attracts already corrupt and ethically compromised people into his orbit. He also exerts a malignant perfidious influence over people who are vulnerable to such energy and temptations, but for whatever reason have not yet fully surrendered to them. This is a defining feature of dangerous leaders.
Dr. Frank continues to warn about Trump’s extremely dangerous mind and overall pattern of behavior and why as seen with the second E. Jean Carroll court case for defamation, and escalating threats of violence and retribution against his “enemies”, that the corrupt ex-president will not be stopped by “the walls closing in.” Instead, Dr. Frank predicts that Trump is a malignant narcissist who will go down in a blaze of glory before he ever surrenders or is otherwise made to yield in his assaults on society, human decency, and the rule of law.
From the time Trump was five years old, he hated rules and couldn’t control himself. If Trump didn’t like something, he would convert feelings into immediate action. He threw rocks at a toddler who lived next door when he was five. He punched out his second-grade teacher because he got mad at him. As a father, Trump knocked out his son, Don Jr., when he was in high school because he wasn’t dressed appropriately. Trump has always been like this. As people age, they generally do not change; they instead become more of their true selves. His capacity for self-restraint is becoming a thinner veneer over fundamental destructiveness. He is increasingly no longer able to fake it. This is why Trump is in court acting out, mumbling, being angry and disruptive.
In my opinion, Donald Trump is a “segmental thinker”. He lives in the moment and is attracted by a shiny object and forgets everything else.
The main thing that I am worried about is the complacency of the public and specifically the country’s leaders and law enforcement and other people in positions of authority and power who are still letting Trump run wild. Trump is extremely dangerous. Trump does not believe in laws and rules. He wants to be a lawless dictator. This is why I continue to share my conclusion, based on the evidence, that Donald Trump appears to be psychotic. He is a person who is detached from reality. Even with the trials and other pressures, Trump is not capable of breaking down, of being cowed and/or broken. If anything, Trump will go down in flames if he goes down at all. Trump is an extreme narcissist who will destroy anyone who has ever done anything to hurt him, to oppose him, or defy him.
Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”
Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tried to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality. We can say that because he lies about things that aren’t that important. I think what that indicates is that he can’t stand an aspect of reality that he doesn’t want, so he rejects it,” Dodes continued. “His grasp of reality, his attention to reality is loose. This is an extremely dangerous trait in a president. It actually makes him unqualified.”
Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.
Video shows the shocking similarities between Ruthless Dictators and Trump
The United States founders anticipated that we’d eventually endure a wannabe tyrant. James Madison worried about a president who might “pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers.”
Alexander Hamilton warned that a man “unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents … despotic in his ordinary demeanour — known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty” might “throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’
- Trump engaged in Sedition, Insurrection and Treason by inciting violence, chaos and rioting in Washington, DC to stop the certification of Joe Biden and overturn the election to make himself an UN-elected Dictator. Rioters stormed the House & Senate chambers, wrecking havoc, destruction and deaths at the United States Capital.
- Trump blatantly violated the Constitution by spending funds not appropriated by Congress, accepting gifts from foreign governments, and using the power of his office to pressure at least one foreign government to do him political favors;
- He has obstructed justice, politicized the Department of Justice, used federal agents to provoke confrontations on our streets, and blocked congressional oversight over his administration;
- He coddles authoritarian dictators while undermining our alliances with liberal democracies;
- He has consistently worked to discredit and undermine the free press, free elections, the judiciary, and any federal official or agency that dares to contradict him.
These are the type of tactics used by Victor Orban in Hungary, the Law and Justice Party in Poland, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, and Vladimir Putin in Russia. The executive branch of the government of the United States is now competitive-authoritarian in nature, in which democracy exists in form but not in substance.
How is this possible? The answer is that Trump has exploited vulnerabilities in our constitutional system that have allowed him to get away with all of this. Such as the ridiculous DOJ edict which says “a sitting president cannot be prosecuted”, and federal courts which move too slowly to provide timely corrective action. And just one-third of the U.S. Senate has acquitted the president and thwarted the impeachment power of Congress.
After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump REFUSED to admit defeat and LIED claiming without any proof that the election was stolen from him. Trump used legal tactics to challenge the election results in swing states and when those challenges didn’t work he resorted to inciting his deluded & brainwashed followers to engage in a violent COUP to overturn our government to make himself an UN-elected dictator to stay in power against the will of the people.
This violent coup was the final act committed by the most Lawless and Corrupt administration in American History.

|
Source for list of 10 below: apnews.com |
|
(1) Pressure On Comey To End Probe Of Michael Flynn – Comey testified to congress that Trump said this at a private dinner meeting; “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go,”. Mueller’s report says “substantial evidence” indicates Trump’s decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was the result of the FBI director’s unwillingness to say publicly that Trump was not personally under investigation. |
|
(2) Reaction To The Continuing Russia Investigation – Among the evidence is the president telling then-White House counsel Don McGahn to stop Attorney General Jeff Sessions from recusing himself from the Russia investigation and Trump’s subsequent anger at Sessions. Trump also contacted Comey and other intelligence agency leaders to ask them to push back publicly on the suggestion that Trump had any connection to the Russian election-interference effort. |
|
(3) Firing Of Comey And Aftermath – Mueller’s report says “substantial evidence” indicates Trump’s decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was the result of the FBI director’s unwillingness to say publicly that Trump was not personally under investigation. On the day after Trump fired Comey, the president told Russian officials that he had “faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” |
|
(4) Appointment Of Special Counsel And Efforts To Remove Him – Following media reports that Mueller’s team was investigating whether Trump had obstructed justice, Trump called then-White House counsel Don McGahn at home and directed him to have Mueller removed. McGahn refused. |
|
(5) Further Efforts To Curtail The Special Counsel’s Investigation – Trump instructed former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to have Sessions publicly announce that, notwithstanding his recusal from the Russia investigation, the investigation was “very unfair” to the president, the president had done nothing wrong, and Sessions planned to meet with Mueller to limit him to “investigating election meddling for future elections. |
|
(6) Efforts To Prevent Public Disclosure Of Evidence – In summer of 2017, Trump learned that the news media planned to report on the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between senior campaign officials and Russians offering derogatory information about Hillary Clinton. The president directed aides not to publicly disclose the emails setting up the meeting. Before the emails became public, the president also edited a press statement for Donald Trump Jr. by deleting a line that acknowledged that the meeting was “with an individual who (Trump Jr.) was told might have information helpful to the campaign.” |
|
(7) Additional Efforts To Have Sessions Take Control Of Investigation – At several points in between July 2017 and December 2017, Trump tried to get Sessions to declare that he was no longer recused from the Russia investigation and would assert control over it. The report says there’s evidence that one purpose of asking Sessions to step in was so that the attorney general would restrict the investigation’s scope. |
|
(8) Trump Orders White House Counsel To Deny That President Tried To Fire Mueller– In an Oval Office meeting in February 2018, Trump told McGahn to “correct” a New York Times story that reported Trump had earlier instructed McGahn to fire Mueller. Trump also asked why McGahn had told Mueller’s investigators about the directive to remove Mueller. McGahn told Trump he had to tell the investigators the truth. |
|
(9) Trump’s Actions Toward, Flynn, Manafort And Other Possible Witnesses– Mueller looked at whether Trump’s sympathetic messages to Flynn, former campaign manager Paul Manafort and others were intended to limit their cooperation with Mueller’s investigation. When Flynn began cooperating with prosecutors, Trump passed word through his lawyer that he still had warm feeling for Flynn and asked for a “heads up” if Flynn knew of information implicating Trump. Trump praised Manafort during and after his criminal convictions, and refused to rule out a pardon for his former campaign chairman. |
|
(10) Trump Actions Toward Michael Cohen – Mueller noted that Trump’s conduct toward Cohen, a former Trump Organization executive, changed from praise to castigation after Cohen began cooperating with prosecutors. The evidence could “support an inference that the president used inducements in the form of positive messages in an effort to get Cohen not to cooperate, and then turned to attacks and intimidation to deter” cooperation and undermine Cohen’s credibility, Mueller wrote. |
| IMPEACHMENT: ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER |
|
(1) President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents Within and Outside the United States Government corruptly solicited the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into (A) a political opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and (B) a discredited theory promoted by Russia alleging that Ukraine—rather than Russia—interfered in the 2016 United States Presidential election. |
|
(2) With the same corrupt motives, President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents within and outside the United States Government—conditioned two official acts on the public announcements that he had requested |
|
(A) the release of $391 million of United States taxpayer funds that Congress had appropriated on a bipartisan basis for the purpose of providing vital military and security assistance to Ukraine to oppose Russian aggression and which President Trump had ordered suspended; |
|
(B) a head of state meeting at the White House, which the President of Ukraine sought to demonstrate continued United States support for the Government of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. |
|
(3) Faced with the public revelation of his actions, President Trump ultimately released the military and security assistance to the Government of Ukraine, but has persisted in openly and corruptly urging and soliciting Ukraine to undertake investigations for his personal political benefit. |
| IMPEACHMENT – ARTICLE II: OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS |
|
(1) Directing the White House to defy a lawful subpoena by withholding the production of documents sought therein by the Committees. |
|
(2) Directing other Executive Branch agencies and offices to defy lawful subpoenas and withhold the production of documents and records from the Committees—in response to which the Department of State, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense refused to produce a single document or record. |
|
(3) Directing current and former Executive Branch officials not to cooperate with the Committees—in response to which nine Administration officials defied subpoenas for testimony, namely John Michael “Mick” Mulvaney, Robert B. Blair, John A. Eisenberg, Michael Ellis, Preston Wells Griffith, Russell T. Vought, Michael Duffey, Brian McCormack, and T. Ulrich Brechbuhl. |
|
These actions were consistent with Trump’s previous efforts to undermine United States Government investigations into foreign interference in United States elections. |
