Trump In The Driver’s Seat

I would rather have a cat

I love cats, don’t get me wrong. I have always had a cat or two in my life. But they have ruined many couches! Anyway, I thought this cartoon fit what I’m thinking about today.

Instead of a cat, I’d put Trump in the driver’s seat.

The Justice Department sent Donald Trump a target letter on Sunday, letting him know he will likely be indicted for his role leading up to the January 6th Insurrection. It will happen in a few days. Trump has used past indictments to raise money, and we will see if this potential charge, details of which we don’t know yet, will continue to help him in his run for the presidency.

“Shortly after disclosing that he’d received a target letter from the Justice Department, Donald Trump was using it to solicit campaign donations. “Please make a contribution to show that you will NEVER SURRENDER our country to tyranny as the Deep State things try to JAIL me for life,” he said in an email to supporters. Similar appeals have been successful: His joint fund-raising committee said it raised $4 million in the 24 hours after he was indicted in late March by New York prosecutors, and $6.6 million in the days after his indictment in June by the special counsel.” -from Rebecca Davis O’Brien for the NY Times
