This is the first time he’s ever admitted it publicly.

    Why Ron? What happened to all the “stollen election” bullshit you were peddling for last two and a half years? Are you going to apologize for lying to people?

      It’s no longer profitable to lie about that thing, so he’s moved on to lying about other things.

    Funny how iron-clad federal indictments suddenly make honest politicians.

      The fact his campaign didn’t lead with this proves that he’s a coward.

      I don’t know why Republicans keep thinking that Trump will implode and that they’ll be the one left standing to suck up all his votes. It has never worked and Trump benefits greatly from having a bunch of nobodies fighting over 2-5% of the vote.

    I think all these Republicans running against Trump for the Republican primary will try to throw Trump under the bus. That is the only way they will beat Trump.

      There’s no way they’ll beat Trump in the primary. Their only hope is for the charges to prevent Trump from running.

        None of the charges will bar him from running legally, but they might get the GOP to voluntarioy drop him as an official candidate for the party.

            Motherfucker will only drop out of the GOP if he gets a guaranteed “all things ever done” pardon from the next Republican president. Even then, he may push his luck and try to guarantee that power for himself again, cell or not.

            Wont help him in Georgia, but I would bet real money on Kemp pardoning him if a GOP president does it first. Id also bet Kemps reelection fund would find itself suddenly flush with cash from some dark money super PAC named “Mommies for the bestest america freedom fries that save children” that Justice Roberts will just nod his head approvingly at.

      They won’t, though. They will take little nips at him to test the waters. Then they’ll go harder when they flounder, but it will be too late.

        They will pile on if tired lying criminal Trump shows weakness. And his trial will show that. Republicans will cravenly wait until they feel they can kick a downed criminal.
