Elon Musk, who purchased and renamed the social media platform to X, reversed the ban and reinstated Trump in October 2022.
After more than two years, Trump returned to X with a picture and caption that reads: “Mug Shot – August 24, 2023. Election interference. Never Surrender!”
Trump was booked at Fulton County Jail. This is the first ever taken of a former president.
Trump faces 13 charges related to his alleged challenges to the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
Democrat Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis of Fulton County faces major backlash for carrying out a “planned and coordinated” attack on Trump by requesting a trial date March 4, 2024. Trump and 18 others are accused of meddling in the state’s 2020 presidential election.
This trial date is one day before the crucial Super Tuesday primary elections.
Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker suggested this is clearly an attempt to cause election interference as Trump is the 2024 Republican frontrunner.
“They’ve now scheduled this first trial on the day before Super Tuesday – whe[n] 15 states plus American Samoa are going to go vote,” Whitaker said on Fox News. “And if you’re thinking you can prepare for a trial and visit 15 states in the lead up to Super Tuesday, I mean, that’s going to be impossible.”
On March 5, numerous states hold their primary elections, including Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.
“This is all planned and coordinated in order to try to prevent Donald Trump from being strong enough to win the election in November,” he added.
Biden cannot win the election fairly so “we will help him by-hook-or-by-crook,” Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said.
In Georgia, the 100-page indictment against Trump accuses him of “beseeching Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to find enough votes for him to win the battleground state; harassing an election worker who faced false claims of fraud; and attempting to persuade Georgia lawmakers to ignore the will of voters and appoint a new slate of electoral college electors favorable to Trump.”
The case against Trump has been widely condemned as politically motivated witch hunt. A look back at previous elections shows that top Democrats have publicly denied election results at least 150 times, including Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Maxine Water, Stacey Abrams, and many others.The reports show that every single Democrat president since 1977 has questioned the legitimacy of U.S. elections, according to the Republican National Committee.
Biden even claimed Trump was an “illegitimate president” in May 2019. Biden also claimed that Al Gore really won the 2000 presidential election.
Similarly, Hillary Clinton said she would not “rule out” questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election in September 2017. “We still don’t really know what happened,” Clinton said in October 2020, referring to claims that the 2016 presidential election was not legitimate.
67 Democrats boycotted Trump’s inauguration and many claimed his victory was not legitimate.
In Georgia, where Trump is being prosecuted, Stacey Abrams consistently claimed her election was stolen. In support of Abrams, Hillary Clinton said Abrams “would have won” Georgia’s gubernatorial race “if she had a fair election.” Clinton claimed Abrams was “deprived of the votes [she] otherwise would have gotten.”
