On Monday, Donald Trump was in New Hampshire to register for the state’s primary. He has to keep up the pretense of “running for president” to bilk his supporters for their money. It’s so depressing to think about the millions of Americans who are still falling for the dumbest f–king con man ever. Speaking of, Trump was in rare form in New Hampshire, comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and claiming that he’s not really under indictment.
Former President Donald Trump compared himself to anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela on Monday as he cast himself as the victim of federal and state prosecutors he alleges are targeting him and his businesses for political reasons. Returning to New Hampshire to register for its presidential primary, Trump held a rally where he railed against President Joe Biden’s response to the Hamas attack on Israel and vowed to build an Iron Dome-style missile defense shield over the U.S.
But he focused much of his dark and at times profane speech on the criminal and civil cases against him, at one point suggesting he would go to prison like the former South African president who spent 27 years in prison for opposing South Africa’s apartheid system and was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.
“I don’t mind being Nelson Mandela because I’m doing it for a reason,” Trump told an amped-up crowd of supporters at a sports complex in Derry, New Hampshire. ”We’ve got to save our country from these fascists, these lunatics that we’re dealing with. They’re horrible people and they’re destroying our country.”
Trump is facing four criminal indictments as well as civil trials that span allegations that he inflated his worth, misclassified hush money payments to women during his 2016 campaign, illegally tried to overturn his 2020 election loss and hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago club.
“We’ve got to save our country from these fascists, these lunatics that we’re dealing with” he said, looking into a mirror and pointing at himself. As for Trump comparing himself to Mandela… lol. I mean, it’s so offensive, I actually have to laugh to keep from crying. Dementia Don also claimed “I was never indicted” (video below).
Reporter: You said Sidney Powell wasn’t your attorney. Are you concerned that won’t be covered by attorney-client privilege?
Trump: No. We did nothing wrong. This is all Biden… I was never indicted. You practically never heard the word. pic.twitter.com/9DknUEsGQy

He’s awful and a lying thug but he’s not called higher by anyone. He’s just allowed to lie and use this country as a playground for his illegal activities. But Joe Biden and the democrats are responsible for all the wrong in the world. I hate it here and I’m tired. Truly, truly tired.
I wish he would claim he was never president and never ran for office and just… Go away.
After recently claiming he beat Obama in 2016, Biden would get us into WWII, and that Jeb Bush got us into the conflict in the Middle East, and now this delusional nonsense – it is endlessly amusing listening to Republicans talk about Biden’s cognitive decline. I just can’t anymore with this asshole – get one of his trials underway already PLEASE!!!
I look forward to the day when we will no longer have to endure his outrageous, lying rants or disgusting orange face.
I have so-called moderates in my family that love to talk about his “mental decline”. One even said that Trump was FAR sharper than Biden—and they said it with a straight face and conviction.
Biden on his absolute worst day is a better speaker than Trump will ever be.
I can NOT. I WILL NOT!! Keep Mandela’s name out of your mouth Former Guy
I’m going to bet he was one of those people who considered Nelson Mandela a terrorist.
If he was ever asked about apartheid in the 80s/90s it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
Or weak because he ended up in jail, ie his comments re John McCain.
His dementia is showing up more and more. He is unfit to wear his own skin.
How much you want to bet that Trump thinks the Iron Dome is an actually physical structure? Like he’s promising to build a metal lid to cover the U.S.? The man also said claimed Victor Orbán is the leader of Turkey at this rally. And the KKK who attend his rallies eat his words up. My God, how many stupid citizens do I share this country with…
Wait until he hears the Iron Curtain wasn’t actually a curtain.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t doubt he has dementia. But I also wonder if he is playing part of it up. Thinking an insanity plea will get him out of the trials? But if you are declared. Then don’t you have to serve out your term in some kind of facility anyway?
He’s getting worse and worse. I hope any sane people still left in this country understand that if he wound up in the White House again, it would take all the king’s horses and all the king’s men to remove him. I’m terrified that he could still win (at least the stupid electoral college) next year. Now there’s a constitutional crisis.
I’m a little worried about all the election deniers in line for Speaker, particularly if it’s down to trump vs. Biden again.
Republicans whining about him being in legal trouble and blaming Democrats for wanting to send a political opponent to jail are funny for two reasons:
1. A LOT of the witnesses against him are Republicans.
2. Who were it again that were chanting “LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP”?
Flowerlake, I think we Americans are so used to Republicans not making any sense that we don’t even notice the inconsistencies anymore. It’s just all part of the background noise.
That’s why I am here to help out
(I am not American 😉 ).
But yes, I can understand that if you get decades of ever increasing nonsense from one party, you start to not notice it any more.
Is he getting oranger?
#LockHimUp
How dare he even utter Mandela’s name! This prick famously hates Black people, yet he has the audacity to compare himself to this famous freedom fighter and social justice warrior?!? His followers were probably thrilled that Mandela was jailed for almost 30 years and blamed his positive influence on the American civil rights struggle of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
This message is tailor-made for racists..
How about sending him to prison in South Africa for 27 years to get a real feel for it. And please, SA, lose the keys.
Co-sign.
I wouldn’t wish that on South Africa. Hasn’t that country been through enough? I say send him to Russia, Siberia, or North Korea and let him live it up there since he’s so far up Putin’s azz and loves dictators like Kim Jong Un.
Maybe Duterte could take him on a little helicopter ride?
Well he keeps calling Letitia James a racist so there’s nothing surprising in him thinking that the fascists are the other guys.
He’ll continue to spiral and his shameless party will continue to support his candidacy. Just utter f*cking insanity.
My mom is completely immersed in his MAGA cult. She has a coffee mug with his mugshot and the words “Never Surrender” and she told my 10-year-old niece “This is why you NEVER surrender!” Mind you, the mugshot is literally him surrendering to the GA authorities. She spent an hour going off about windmills recently and how they’re so ugly and she doesn’t want to look at them and they’re killing whales. Of course, when I Googled “Trump windmills” it all made sense. It’s just so sad that she’s lost herself to this conman.
45 = Barftastic 🤮
This goon wouldn’t have even deserved to wash Mandela’s feet.
“It’s so depressing to think about millions of Americans who are still falling for the dumbest f-kng con man ever”
I agree @kaiser. They belong to a cult and think he’s their god or something.
I’m truly concerned about 2024. If Trump wins it will be much worse , and it’s going to be the death of democracy as we know it in the US as we’re in for a very long-term Dictatorship. People saying Biden is too old , but Trump acted very much senile yesterday. And Biden’s posture is still much better than Trump’s hunchback.
AC, yes, I have a friend whose siblings won’t speak to her because of their MAGA allegiance. People have REALLY been programmed by years of lies. Scary stuff. I too worry about elections in 2024.
Mandela? The very least (and I mean least) that I can say is: How very woke of Trump.
Go directly to Jail, tiny hand man!
