People have been saying that during the nine and a half years since Trump announced his candidacy for president in 2015 and for decades before he ran in 2016. He still won reelection in 2024. People simply like to hear his fantastic words. 'Trump will fix it'. 'Trump was right about everything'.
Even some of the people who had spoken out against Trump changed their minds and voted for him in 2024. Musk said he didn't want Trump to be cornered with criminal charges that made his only escape being reelected. Now Musk is living at Mar-a-Lago and acting like he's president-elect. Kid Rock said he couldn't believe that Trump was goofy enough to show him Pentagon documents at the White House that he shouldn't have seen and asked him what to do about N. Korea. But Kid Rock said he still loves Trump very much. People let their infatuation convince them to vote for someone who is silly enough to show Pentagon documents to a rock star and ask him what to do about a dictator. They love Trump's personality.
Status of Trump's criminal and civil cases. Trump's criminal cases fading away, but some legal perils still loom in 2025
30 years later, Trump is still on his quest for the biggest party. He calls Mar-a-Lago the center of the universe and hosted a grand party for New Years 2025 with the wealthiest of the billionaire elites. Trump will also be doing a victory party at Capital One Arena in DC that seats 20,000 the day before his inauguration.
Tesla Cybertruck explodes at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/01/us/car-fire-trump-hotel-las-vegas.html
The bombing in New Orleans was reportedly done using an electric pickup truck. The bombing at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas was done with an electric truck. That gives Trump a reason to blame electric vehicles for crime (while coddling Tesla electric vehicle promoter Elon Musk who's living at Mar-a-Lago).
Trump has never been held responsible for his slapstick response to the Covid pandemic. The former leader of Brazil, known as Tropical Trump, managed to elude criminal charges for his mishandling of the Covid pandemic. Unlike in the U.S., Bolsonaro at least faced the prospect of criminal charges for his mishandling of Covid. Outrage in Brazil as Jair Bolsonaro avoids five charges related to Covid response Senators call for investigation into top prosecutor after charges against president shelved Andrew Downie Wed 27 Jul 2022 09.25 EDT Outrage in Brazil as Jair Bolsonaro avoids five charges related to Covid response excerpt: Brazilian senators are calling for an investigation into one of the country’s top prosecutors after she shelved several charges against the president, Jair Bolsonaro, over his mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic. A damning congressional inquiry had recommended that Bolsonaro be charged with nine offences, including crimes against humanity and charlatanism, for promoting false treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. The far-right president constantly downplayed the severity of the pandemic, initially calling it “a little flu” and telling Brazilians to man up because “we are all going to die anyway”.
Fox News has fact-checked Trump false claim and has stated that the bomber was born in the U.S. and is a U.S. citizen. The FBI has confirmed it. Fox News Fact-Checks Trump on New Orleans Terror Suspect’s Citizenship, Says He Was Born in the US | Video excerpt: Fox News contradicted President-elect Donald Trump’s statement that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the terror suspect in the New Year’s vehicular attack in New Orleans, was a “criminal coming in” to the country. While reporting on the attack Wednesday, a Fox News White House correspondent says over video edits of Trump: “To be clear, Molly and Brian, the suspect was born in the United States. He served in the United States Army. He was a veteran.”
Fox is known for its penchant to try to quickly run unverified stories that support its ideology. In the early years during the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Fox would run breaking news stories about the alleged weapons of mass destruction of Saddam supposedly just being found, only to find out later that it was a false alarm. Fox went at it for years with their WMD routine and came up empty every time (like Geraldo at Al Capone's 'vault'). Eventually they gave up on it. The latest rendition is that the WMD are coming in to the U.S. through the Mexican border.
Both trucks were rented via Turo, although that might be just a coincidence. Both bombers had a military background.
Musk is boasting that his electric truck minimized the effects of the explosion. Statement by Musk: "The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken."

Trump flunks 3 key tests following deadly New Orleans attack excerpt: "First, he flunked a test of accuracy, pushing misinformation within hours of a deadly attack. Second, he flunked a test of decency, trying to exploit the attack to advance an ugly and misguided agenda. And third, Trump flunked a test of credibility, reminding everyone anew that when tragedy strikes, Americans just can’t count on the incoming president for reliable and trustworthy information."
The '2024 Ambiguous Statement Of The Year' by Trump who was talking about ambiguous Melania. Donald Trump Has Cryptic Answer To How Melania Trump Is ‘Holding Up’ excerpt: “I think good, but I don’t think it’s an easy thing for her,” Trump replied in the interview released Thursday. “And I think if it wasn’t good, she wouldn’t want to tell me about it, to be honest with you. Because, you know, she sees that I’m fighting like hell.”
Trump Insists He Was ‘Right About Everything’ After Wrongly Tying New Orleans Attack to Immigration excerpt: "Trump’s statement followed an erroneous Fox News report—which the network has since retracted—that claimed the rental truck used by the suspect in the New Year’s Day attack crossed into Texas from Mexico two days earlier."

Ted Kaufman, D-Del., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn.
Trump has said that police officers at the Capitol let his 'peaceful' rioters in and then started fights with them inside the Capitol. If Trump really believes it, he can try to prosecute police officers who were at the Capitol.
