The Biden administration is trying to put Trump in prison for the rest of his life on politically motivated charges, as are Democrat state and local prosecutors in New York and Georgia.
Donald Trump Jr. scorched Blinken, “Exactly ZERO self awareness!!! You really ceded the moral high ground here… Wonder where they got the idea that it’s acceptable to jail your political opposition?”

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), “Evidently jailing political opponents is bad in other countries but not in the United States. The Left is obsessed with Trump and they are doing incredible damage to our republic. TDS is real.”
