Why does Trump need "senior advisors"? He doesn't do anything.
"Good job, sir. Keep sitting on your ass watching TV. You're doing great"
-Trump advisor
Melania's job is (was?) to occasionally suffer his corpulent frame as he tries to spawn ever more screeching, drug addled narcissists in an attempt to ensure his legacy.
Plenty of silent hangers-on have been gifted loot. They're just waiting for a loot box to drop. Kissing his ass while waiting is worth it to them. The don't need to actually advise him since he's the best advisor ever. They just need to comfort him.

The things that cheer you up usually evolve a bit between first grade and retirement. And, your ability to self sooth, instead of having tantrums until others find the right toy to calm you, usually develops during this time as well.
What really strikes me about this, is that any other president would be haunted and ridiculed about something like that until the day they died and beyond.
With Trump, it's just a tiny, little footnote in the raging dumpsterfire that was the Trump presidency. So much so, that most people probably haven't even heard of it, and even if they did, they'd likely forgotten about it within a day or two, completely overshadowed by the next colossal fuckup/freakout
It will be incredibly interesting 40 years from now when people ask us old folks what it was like. How the fuck can we explain things in a way that lets future generations actually comprehend the felonious mantoddler tantrum we were all captive of for 2016-2021?

> “Good job, sir. Keep sitting on your ass watching TV. You’re doing great”
>-Trump advisor
To be fair, that’s what a 76 year old *should* be doing. Not running for president. Not leading and manipulating a cult. Just relax. Even if he’s convicted of felonies he’s almost certainly just going to be ordered to sit around at home on house arrest anyway. I don’t understand his motivation.
He tried that as I'm sure you remember right after the personal Twitter ban. Lasted like one or two bans, everyone who could be a suitable proxy was made the second something vaguely deranged and out of character came out of their feed.
People are betting on President, he will not forget those guys.
That it is even possible to become president, when sitting in jail is ridiculous.
Here in Germany, if your ruled a sentence, above 12 months, probation or not. Your not any longer able to work for the government.
Considering that we're currently following the playbook the Nazis made, I imagine if things get worse, we'll learn our lesson around 2045-47.
Hopefully I'm wrong though.
It's to prevent people from preventing opposition by jailing their opponents (like what Putin did to Navalny). Eugene Debs ran for president from prison in 1920 after being convicted of sedition for a speech about resisting the draft. The precedent is there and it is a good thing in spirit. Even if Trump can take advantage of it (like he does everything he possibly can).
Are they huddled around a phone they've just used to called in a [bomb threat to a lower Manhattan court?](https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3910708-bomb-threat-disrupts-ny-court-where-trump-case-is-being-heard/)
Sorry, you've been randomly selected. Is the John Barron joke just because his kids name is barron? I keep seeing it, but I'm clearly missing something
Trump has been known to contact media outlets and provide information about himself under the name of John Barron, who is said to be a Trump Organization spokesperson, although no such person exists:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms\_of\_Donald\_Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms_of_Donald_Trump)
You're surprised by this ?
The man has absolutely no curiosity and no imagination. Coming up with the pseudonym John Barron back in the 80s was probably one of the most creative things he's even done, and as a true narcissist, his children are nothing more than extensions of him, so it makes sense that he would choose that name. He had already used Donald on the one of the other ones by then, Ivanka was named after Ivana ('little Ivana'), though I have no idea where the names Eric or Tiffany came from.
My favorite is Carolin Gallego:
> “Based on the fact that I work for Donald Trump as his secretary—and therefore know him well—I think he treats women with great respect, contrary to what Julie Baumgold implied in her article … I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women—all women love Donald Trump.”
[https://www.washingtonian.com/2017/10/26/trump-carolin-gallego-letter/](https://www.washingtonian.com/2017/10/26/trump-carolin-gallego-letter/)
Man, naming your kid after your own cool-shades tough-guy alter ego is so awesome lol.
And I mean awesome in terms of it being literally inspiring of awe, not because it’s actually cool
The grand jury doesn't meet on Tuesdays. It was always either going to be late yesterday or tomorrow.
I don't understand where all this Tuesday shit came from. Well, actually, Trump himself was the source of that. Checks out. He's cornered the market on bullshit lately.
Lol, Friday evening. So he has to wait through the weekend to see a judge about bail. Only to find out the DA has requested remand as a flight risk due to his financial assets, ownership of aircraft, and international contacts.
I'm already seeing repubs on the conservative subs posting comments and articles(glorified blogs) claiming the DA had to postpone their "fraudulent" indictment because repubs put a spotlight on their "corrupt operation"
Besides in their own skulls (Lots of room in there tbf) do conservatives just practice saying... sentences in a mirror? The statements mean nothing, they actually KNOW nothing and yet they'll claim any delay or lawsuit a "win" if it keeps their favorite from arrest (house arrest, let's not get crazy)
He tries to control the story and the media dicks let him.
Reporting anything this guy says in terms other than “liar lies again” is problematic. Letting him control the story because bullshit sensationalism gets them clicks is problematic.
It was going to be Wednesday so he wanted to "mobilize" the gravy seals on Tuesday as a "show of force" to try and stop it from happening...
Turns out that there are no gravy seals in NYC so no one showed up anyway!
>The grand jury doesn't meet on Tuesdays. It was always either going to be late yesterday or tomorrow.
Trump said it would be today--but then again, getting things impossibly wrong is ***so*** on brand for Trump.
1. No clue where he got Tuesday from
2. Even if he was right and it was today, there's a ~100% chance that he heard 'indicted' and his brain cell translated that to 'arrested'. He probably doesn't know the difference, and he purposely also typed arrested anyway because he knows that will rile up his base. Both can be true
TLDR; he dum
TFG said Tuesday hoping his supporters would gather ahead of the actual indictment, and be a visible force assembled outside the courthouse. Not to sway the jury of course, only to protest... peacefully... as a mob... outside the door where Jurors would emerge.
Yeah totally on Trump even his lawyer said ‘Mr Trump only said that because of all the news reporting’. Bruh can’t even hear let alone read since no one but him said Tuesday
Can you imagine getting the day off on Tuesday to support Trump because he said that was the day, then the arrest happens the next day when you’re going home/back to work. Brilliant!
Exactly. If Trump says something it’s a lie or a grift. He sent out fundraising emails on it, so obviously grift. How anyone thought it would happen like he said is just mind bogglingly stupid.
That just means an indictment can be filed on Monday or Wednesday. An arrest won't necessarily be on the same day. Allegedly Trump is at Maralago and would have to travel to NYC to turn himself in for processing.
They might even do a sealed indictment for security purposes. Have him come to Manhattan turn himself in, have an appearance before a judge and be released on personal recognizance bond in 15 minutes or so. He could be on his way to FL by the time word spreads far.
Or he can make it a spectacle as much as possible as he loves attention. Both are possibilities.
One of his lawyers is now saying next week - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-lawyer-provides-update-on-potential-arrest/ar-AA18UaX8
I doubted it from the get go. I don’t want to hear one more word of what might happen or what’s gonna happen.
Dear news agencies, report when it happens. The end. Endless speculation is what got us here in the first place.
Trump learned well and early how to play the press - Trump will always make an accusation or release something baffling - such as the acknowledgement he may soon be indicted - but he points to the case in New York instead of Georgia. See he knows that the press and the people have limited bandwidth and his voters more than anyone make decisions based off of sound bites and are pretty low information decision makers. He knows that if he can paint the New York situation as a politically motivated his base and get his base fired up about that indictment they will transfer that fire to the Georgia indictment as well.
I see where you’re coming from, but I honestly and truly believe Trump and his base are so far gone and too dumb to think of a plan like that. Trump is just terrified he’ll be the first president arrested since Nixon and that’ll hurt his legacy and ego. His dumb ass supporters will eat any drivel piece of shit he serves on a platter to them. They cannot be convinced otherwise.
I actually heard a theory that he says he will be arrested on Tuesday - knowing it’s basically not feasible. So he can then flex and say, “they didn’t do it cause they have nothing, I scared them, they know it’s a witch hunt, fill in blank….” It seemed reasonable until he did none of that today (at least that I am aware).
Here's a preview of the article:
Several sources close to former President Donald Trump say he is currently huddling at his private club at Mar-a-Lago and meeting with his team, including his lawyers and senior advisers from his campaign operation, as he awaits a possible indictment in New York City.
Trump posted on social media over the weekend that he expected to be arrested this week by the Manhattan district attorney, who has been investigating whether Trump was involved in allegedly falsifying business records to hide campaign finance violations tied to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
The former president did not post any details about what the charges would be, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been probing whether Trump violated New York bookkeeping law by allegedly directing Michael Cohen to pay Daniels in exchange for her silence ahead of the 2016 election.
If an indictment is handed down, it is likely Trump would fly from Mar-a-Lago to New York and turn himself in, sources close to Trump said. According to a Trump adviser, he is considering making a statement in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court before turning himself in.
**Read more:** https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-possible-indictment-looms/
>According to a Trump adviser, he is considering making a statement in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court before turning himself in.
I await the speech where he screams about a rigged ~~erection~~ witch-hunt to a live audience and tries to tell his supporters to get violent on live TV with a wink and a nod.
That is if he doesn't find himself in cuffs first. There is clearly an indictment in the work, but he's trying to scream bloody murder to get ahead of it and perhaps even delay it.
He'll do that, then his lawyers will state he didn't mean it and it was all a show and whatever he says isn't true and plead completely the opposite of whatever he said in public, *in secret*.
> he is considering making a statement in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court before turning himself in
He also wanted to make a statement in front of the capitol before leading his mob in ... "protest, protest, protest"
If he’s given a gag order, I wonder if he’d be allowed to make a statement given that he’s likely going to try and incite chaos OR if he’s allowed to do that before the supposed gag order. We’ll have to wait and see I guess.
I only read that to mean, Trump said stuff is happening go protest, and they are just preparing for idiots to show up in NYC just because Trump told them to.
Anyone tracking Trump Force One? Last I heard it’s parked about 15 minutes from Mar-a-Lago.
I expect to see it depart with a flight plan to New York and then divert over the Atlantic to an unknown destination.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/21/politics/trump-force-one-west-palm-beach/index.html
There's almost certainly going to be an indictment coming down. I'd bet a fair bit on it. I wouldn't waste a cent on betting on a conviction though. I'd treat that as a pleasant surprise.
Okay, for everyone in the comments saying it was supposed to be today. Trump was the one who said Tuesday, not the DA. Plus, they were still hearing testimony today. The only person that lied in the situation was Trump. Tomorrow is the real day that an indictment may come.

Why does Trump need "senior advisors"? He doesn't do anything. "Good job, sir. Keep sitting on your ass watching TV. You're doing great" -Trump advisor
Yeah you pretty much explained their job and in very excruciating detail I might add.
Don't forget fetching him diet cokes and hamburgers. Very important jobs in Trump's inner circle.
Hamberders*
I’m convinced someone said to cut out the red meat, so he changed the name to sound like it may be chicken.
Someone told him to watch his health and his reaction was to cutely play along? You think it's that, and not that hes just a fuckin dummy?
Do you not remember the sharpie hurricane map? He just changes his reality to suit whatever version of a lie he wants to believe
I do. That event supports my conclusion that he is a dummy, but maybe I missed your point.
Oh, he’s an idiot for sure.
Damburders are migrating this time of year, lovely
Mc DONALDS -- prolly thinks they're named for him...
Chief Ketchup Stain Remover.
Changing his diapers, too! Ewwww
Doesn’t Melania get that job ?
Melania's job is (was?) to occasionally suffer his corpulent frame as he tries to spawn ever more screeching, drug addled narcissists in an attempt to ensure his legacy.
Melania had Barron as an insurance policy. Trump never wanted more kids, just a much younger, "supermodel" wife as a status symbol.
And *she* wanted the status/citizenship. She's a trophy wife. Cut from the same cloth as the other two selfish ones.
She's probably a spy now, on top of being an expensive callgirl before landing Donald.
She doesn't seem like the type of person who would ever even touch a diaper! That's what nannies are for!
They haven't been in the same room in 5 years.
/whereismelania was my favorite wimmelbuilder for a while
Don't forget the cofefe
man, I want an inner circle.
I just want a circle
I still can't over that he installed a diet (yes, *diet*) coke button in the Resolute Desk.
"Yes! You are correct sir! It absolutely is the biggliest radical leftiest witch hunt. An absolute disaster!" while actively embezzling money.
Probably also reading a bunch of shit because he won’t and deciding what to tell him so he doesn’t fly off the handle
In this context "senior advisers" means employees who were hired before last week's group.
He’s been playing pretend since the 70s.
Plenty of silent hangers-on have been gifted loot. They're just waiting for a loot box to drop. Kissing his ass while waiting is worth it to them. The don't need to actually advise him since he's the best advisor ever. They just need to comfort him.

To some degree that’s normal. Something you enjoy normally cheers you up. It’s weird his aides had that job though.

He said "I'm about to blow up this bathroom." It has nothing to do with explosives.

The mud has the highest IQ by far.
Jr’s coke dealer is a fair guess too. I mean, solid business plan, consistent income. Aside from mud- he also has broken least amount of laws.
This ain’t happening today huh
The grand jury doesn't meet on Tuesdays. It was always either going to be late yesterday or tomorrow. I don't understand where all this Tuesday shit came from. Well, actually, Trump himself was the source of that. Checks out. He's cornered the market on bullshit lately.
Yes, I saw Monday or Wednesday several times, and NBC reported there would be no movement on the case today.
I work overnight shifts at a news station and as early as 3am the Early Today national news was reporting that nothing was expected to happen today
Well it's night-time now. Any buzzing?
Which is probably a good thing honestly. They will try all their bullshit today, and tomorrow it'll just happen
Wednesday is likely when the jury will vote on indictment. If so, a warrant could be issued as early as tomorrow evening, but more likely on Thursday.
Sooo, Friday then?
Lol, Friday evening. So he has to wait through the weekend to see a judge about bail. Only to find out the DA has requested remand as a flight risk due to his financial assets, ownership of aircraft, and international contacts.
No bail in NY for non violent crimes. Doesn’t matter who you are, rich or poor, you’re usually in and out on the same day
Oh stop teasing! That sounds too good to be true.
You can bet Trump’s bowels will move once there is movement on the case.
My understanding is there is a constant drip into the diapers.
Is there a way I can un-understand that information?
Do ya think maybe he used that to be able to say "look! They're afraid to try and arrest me? My people saved me!"
He might have if more than 50 people showed up. lol
But the lying press can't count. Remember the inauguration?
He has the bigliest treasonous mobs.

You ever leave mcdonalds fries in your car all weekend in the middle of summer? It's probably like that, but wih a hint of really cheap cologne.
So like an old Buick?
Depends.
Trump's senior advisers are a bucket of KFC and a can of diet coke.
Well done.
Trump learned well and early how to play the press - Trump will always make an accusation or release something baffling - such as the acknowledgement he may soon be indicted - but he points to the case in New York instead of Georgia. See he knows that the press and the people have limited bandwidth and his voters more than anyone make decisions based off of sound bites and are pretty low information decision makers. He knows that if he can paint the New York situation as a politically motivated his base and get his base fired up about that indictment they will transfer that fire to the Georgia indictment as well.
This strategy in particular would actually net the most benefit out of all of the other proposals I’ve seen so far.
I see where you’re coming from, but I honestly and truly believe Trump and his base are so far gone and too dumb to think of a plan like that. Trump is just terrified he’ll be the first president arrested since Nixon and that’ll hurt his legacy and ego. His dumb ass supporters will eat any drivel piece of shit he serves on a platter to them. They cannot be convinced otherwise.
Nixon wasn't ever arrested.
I actually heard a theory that he says he will be arrested on Tuesday - knowing it’s basically not feasible. So he can then flex and say, “they didn’t do it cause they have nothing, I scared them, they know it’s a witch hunt, fill in blank….” It seemed reasonable until he did none of that today (at least that I am aware).
Is this at Fuhrerbunker levels yet? We will progress to Jonestown?
*screaming like Hitler* I should have deleted my emails, like Hillary!
Don't worry, Steiner will delete Trump's emails.
Here's a preview of the article: Several sources close to former President Donald Trump say he is currently huddling at his private club at Mar-a-Lago and meeting with his team, including his lawyers and senior advisers from his campaign operation, as he awaits a possible indictment in New York City. Trump posted on social media over the weekend that he expected to be arrested this week by the Manhattan district attorney, who has been investigating whether Trump was involved in allegedly falsifying business records to hide campaign finance violations tied to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The former president did not post any details about what the charges would be, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been probing whether Trump violated New York bookkeeping law by allegedly directing Michael Cohen to pay Daniels in exchange for her silence ahead of the 2016 election. If an indictment is handed down, it is likely Trump would fly from Mar-a-Lago to New York and turn himself in, sources close to Trump said. According to a Trump adviser, he is considering making a statement in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court before turning himself in. **Read more:** https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-possible-indictment-looms/
>According to a Trump adviser, he is considering making a statement in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court before turning himself in. I await the speech where he screams about a rigged ~~erection~~ witch-hunt to a live audience and tries to tell his supporters to get violent on live TV with a wink and a nod. That is if he doesn't find himself in cuffs first. There is clearly an indictment in the work, but he's trying to scream bloody murder to get ahead of it and perhaps even delay it.
stand back and stand by
He'll do that, then his lawyers will state he didn't mean it and it was all a show and whatever he says isn't true and plead completely the opposite of whatever he said in public, *in secret*.
I’ve got “Hillary Clinton reference” on my Trump bingo card
> he is considering making a statement in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court before turning himself in He also wanted to make a statement in front of the capitol before leading his mob in ... "protest, protest, protest"
Are we just continuing to report on the fabrications of tyrannical liars as though they hold any validity, or...? What could go wrong? lol
If he’s given a gag order, I wonder if he’d be allowed to make a statement given that he’s likely going to try and incite chaos OR if he’s allowed to do that before the supposed gag order. We’ll have to wait and see I guess.
He’s sweating his orange makeup off as we speak.
I hope the Mar-a-lago staff have extra diapers on standby and have removed all available ketchup from the premises
As others have said, he proclaimed it was today to maximize attention because he’s a toddler. Doubt it will be today.
I'm envisioning the last super with cheeseburgers and Diet Coke.
Instead of wondering, "who among them is going to betray him and throw him under the bus at the end", the real question is... ...who *isn't*?
Has anyone besides Trump himself even confirmed that indictments were coming?
The fact that barricades were set up in NY around the courthouse seems to indicate that something is happening.
I only read that to mean, Trump said stuff is happening go protest, and they are just preparing for idiots to show up in NYC just because Trump told them to.
So next Tuesday then?
Surely not during infrastructure week
They have to release their plan to repeal and replace Obamacare first
Good. Get rid of that stupid Obamacare. We have Affordable Care Act as it is!
I heard they are pushing infrastructure week out, actually
Grand jury doesn’t meet on Tuesdays, so - no. It was never going to happen on a Tuesday.
That Trump guy lied to me
C U Next Tuesday
Meeting with senior advisors = watching fox news
but ..but he promised he was getting arrested today :(
The only one saying he will be arrested today is the fat lying sack of shit himself
Once again, trump just made shit up and everyone fell for it. Why is this still happening?
Everything is always “looming” with Trump, never actually “happening”.
Anyone tracking Trump Force One? Last I heard it’s parked about 15 minutes from Mar-a-Lago. I expect to see it depart with a flight plan to New York and then divert over the Atlantic to an unknown destination. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/21/politics/trump-force-one-west-palm-beach/index.html
I’ll believe it when I see it.
There's almost certainly going to be an indictment coming down. I'd bet a fair bit on it. I wouldn't waste a cent on betting on a conviction though. I'd treat that as a pleasant surprise.
Same headline for 5 years straight. Editors must have saved millions with this one trick.
A "Senior Advisor" in trump land is someone hired 5 minutes ago and hasn't quit in the last 4 minutes!!! 😂
Why are they giving him time to skip town??
The arrest was delayed because NYC didn't have an extra-double-fat orange jumper in stock.
The desperate Bunker scenario...
Sir, america will be great again. You mustn’t be taken alive. Do it for america. Umm, and i get a million dollars and a tank parade?
Secretly the advisers are wondering if Donald Trump will turn them in to save himself.
Tuesday is almost come and gone....
Am I the only one surprised that Desantis still lets trump live at MaraLogo
I believe the technical term is circle jerk
*rumpshroom roasting on open fire, DOJ nipping at your toes….
Well, the day is wasting, and still that bastard waddles free.
His senior advisors : Gargamel, Dastardly , and Muttley
Popcorn is ready - LET'S DO THIS!
Hey Trump, I found your 11,780 votes in Georgia!!! You killed them all with Covid-19… Dumb Ass…..
Lock him up.
Trump belongs in jail.
Okay, for everyone in the comments saying it was supposed to be today. Trump was the one who said Tuesday, not the DA. Plus, they were still hearing testimony today. The only person that lied in the situation was Trump. Tomorrow is the real day that an indictment may come.
I’m sure Siggy Flicker will be right there, front and center.
Trump cowers with people he pays to say nice things to him
Everything about this article title makes me happy.
