False claim? How about we call them lies? Trump is a liar. He lies.

A false claim implies it could be made with good intentions, simply out of ignorance. No. Trump lies. He lies maliciously.

How many lie-filled years need to pass before media call it what it is?

And also please stop referring to politicians breaking the law as a scandal.

Thanks Citizens everywhere

"There I was just eating breakfast, healthy 2 Big Macs and a diet coke, the best you know people always tell me, they tell me, Mr. President your breakfast choices are the healthiest, I say I don't know, I don't know. They use me probably use my breakfast as an example in their universities probably I don't know. Healthy, that's me, the healthiest just sitting there when the crooked FBI armed with a Biden death warrant stormed Mar A Lago and planted those documents I sold to Saudi Arabia. I said you can't do that, they can't do that, crooked Hillary and her lover Obama they have it out for me because I am so smart I figured out their plans. When I beat Obama in 2016 people said to me, people said Mr President you beat him, Hillary Smillary landslide. I got more votes than President Bartlet. You know that reminds me of when I met with little Kim, she was President of North Korea, some say best Korea, I don't know, I don't know. But little Kim told me Diddy is innocent. The crooked Biden crime family won't tell you that, no, they don't care about lil Kim so they stole the election from me."

I… I have no idea if this is satire or a legitimate quote and that is so depressing.

Amazing! 👏👏👏

In case anyone doesn't know, he wasn't even at Mar-a-Lago at the time and they're the FBI. "Deadly force" is always authorized. Because they're cops. Which I thought Trump liked.

among some Trump supporters and is widely described by them as an “attempted assassination”

So? I thought their supreme god-emperor Cheeto said that's a totally fine and cool thing for a president to do.

Projection from Trump.

Excuse to hate for his supporters.

He's fanning the flames for Jan 6th the sequel.

Some idiot I know has been telling people he just read that Jan 6th was staged by Democrats to entrap Trump supporters and we all need to find unbiased media sources to really know the truth. They eat this shit up.

That's what Boden* needs the presidential immunity for, right?

*Gboard decided that's his name now, I guess.

He doesn't really look like he's related to Alonzo, though..

If that is the case, Halo voice "Finish the mission Mr Biden."

Even though its an obvious lie... Didn't he argue in court this should be legal? What's his problem? Oh, yeah, now I remember. Trump thimks he, personally, should be exempt from all laws.
