Donald Trump Announces Mar-A-Lago "Raided, Under Siege, And Occupied" By The FBI​

BY TYLER DURDEN
MONDAY, AUG 08, 2022 - 04:08 PM
Moments ago, Donald Trump - who is still banned by Twitter - published a statement on Truth Social in which he said that his Florida home, Mar A Lago is “currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents", an assault which according to Trump "could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries." He is probably right. He also claims the Fed's presence was unannounced and the reason was politically motivated.
His full statement posted on his Truth Social account is below:

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the
United States of America
These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.
The political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years, with the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and so much more, it just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level!
Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. She even took antique furniture, and other items from the White House.
I stood up to America's bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people, and truly delivered for our Country, like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it. Now, as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories, and see my dominance in all polls, they are trying to stop me, and the Republican Party, once more. The lawlessness, political persecution, and Witch Hunt must be exposed and stopped.

I will continue to fight for the Great American People!

Local reporters confirmed the raid, saying the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. "They just left," although it isn't clear what the search was about.

While we await more information on what the FBI was doing at Mar-A-Lago or what they may have found, here are some kneejeak reactions.

[Idiot Asshole]

Trump should have listened to Terry Davis about how to handle glowniggers

If you believe the J6 faggots he tried his best and went full Senator Armstrong and boomerpowered his way through half a dozen SS agents to wrest the steering wheel away from them.
Of course it wasn't enough to do anything because it never happened, but it's the thought that counts.

Is crossing this rubicon different from the rubicons that got crossed when the FBI raided Trump's lawyer or they hockeysticked the election etc etc? This kind of feels like a regular Tuesday tbh. I mean can you really say something bigger won't be coming along next month?

How many Rubicons have we crossed already?

No it isn't. The whole significance of the crossing of the Rubicon was that the Roman Army was not supposed to be armed and on Italian soil, so when Julius Caesar brought his army across the Rubicon, that was it. There was no going back, Civil War was on.

The FBI aren't supposed to be a purely political organisation and they aren't supposed to target the Regime's strongest opponents for the next general election. Therefore the FBI raiding Trump's house can be seen as a declaration of war, the moment where it was clear there is no going back. Whether it ultimately leads to that it remains to be seen, but the use of 'Crossing the Rubicon' is very much valid.

Except it’ll probably be some Cold War because I guess the right (or the folks who’d fight the government in a civil war) has a lot of things they don’t want to lose, like families and jobs. And they think memes and boycotts to force “Get Woke, Go Broke” and voting out non MAGA politicians is legitimate tactics to win this cold civil war.

That sounds like an insult to Senator Armstrong.

Jones verdict. Raid on Trump. Oh jeez, it's midterms!

And I guess now they’re looking to find a way to get states to enact 2020 rules.

 

[Mr Cuddles]

By the time Biden was inaugurated that was the plan. Find a way to make 2020 rules permanent.

It's that way with every war. It's all fun and games until you're getting blown apart by a fucking tank

And they think memes and boycotts to force “Get Woke, Go Broke” and voting out non MAGA politicians is legitimate tactics to win this cold civil war.

And Chamberlain thought appeasement was the way to contain Hitler, and had he been dealing with anybody but Hitler, he might've been right

You know, maybe I'm just being too generous, but I think the reason for these kinds of underhanded plays might simply be that the established powers still don't take Trump seriously as a politician. To them he's just the game show host that got stupid luck, so it "doesn't count" and it's not a big deal if they're using the FBI to raid a former political opponent.

You're probably half-right. The sort of people we're both thinking of do this thing where somebody can be an incompetent loser not meant to be taken serious and Adolf Hitler at the exact same time. I wish there was a word for this specific phenomenon because it's real.

 

[Ser Prize]

Twist ending: the gorilla channel was just a VHS tape of a compilation of all of trumps favorite optimus prime centric beast wars episodes

That said, the more reddit rants like loons about trump the more convinced I am that they're convinced he's some irl version of megabyte from reboot, with all his plans and plotting and general attitude.....or in this case more like MAGAbyte

I'd vote for Megabyte.

"Doublethink" or "Cognitive Dissonance"

 

[draggs]

btw the supreme court has already ruled multiple times that the qualifications clauses in the constitution are the only legal restrictions for holding the offices those clauses cover

That's why you will never see congressional term limits absent a constitutional amendment, the constitution's qualification clauses for the House and Senate don't mention them so they're not legal. That's why presidential term limits had to be enacted via constitutional amendment

Marc Elias is really stupid lol

 

[Rion]

Not like there's anyone in office that would stop them. I'm not sure why Trump magically expects 2024 to go any differently.
We've seen what he'll do about it, bitch and moan on social media, proceed to get backstabbed by basically everyone on his "team" then fade into obscurity.

Have too many lifetime bureaucrats that viewed him as acting uppity and needing to be put in his place, because how dare a president act like he’s in charge of the White House. There’s zero accountability in the alphabet agencies and armed forces so they are allowed to do all variety of bullshit.

Shows why it’s important to purge most of these agencies and install loyalists.

 

[Buff Wellington]

Sounds about right. And now the “You Are Here” moment is that “The whole thing was a setup by the Feds and any entry to the Capitol was instigated by defender Al assets and plants like Ray Epps. And Baked Alaska.” I’ve heard the website Revolver has all the evidence.

There are a lot of people who are understandably very concerned about Mr. Epps.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

"potential presidential candidate" lmao put up our shut up. We are all potential presidential candidates, that's why there was buzz about if Trump declared early (pre midterm) he would get some level of protection, at least political if not legal. Too late now though. I wonder if it would have been different.

It's best if Trump waits till after the midterm and uses all the MAGA candidate victories. Announcing a presidential run wouldn't save him from this kind of political harassment. They would do it anyway.

I think this was a major blunder, and that Trump will be strengthened by it.

This is going to work in his favor. Everything they have done to Trump hurts them and helps Trump in the end.

As angry I am for Trump shilling the clotshots this raid is completely unacceptable, it's making me want to support him again.

Trump was never going to force you to take vaccines. Trump had no choice but to do what he did. He had to do something, or he would have legitimately lost the election. It's easy to sit back and talk about what you would have done or not done from the comfort of your home.

Holy shit, did Biden have a scare and Kamala reverted back to her underhanded DA strats? Do they not understand the precedent this sets? There's, you know, actually evidence that would end with the entire Biden family in prison if this is what's now appropriate behavior. Not in some safe the confounded glowies might find is empty. Literally on this forum, with reporters, and even torrents. I genuinely cannot comprehend why they did this.

Dick Morris said this is a desperate move by the democrats. They know Trump is going to run in 2024 and they are scared to death of that. They are only scared because they know there isn't going to be any election fraud to save them this time. If they were just going to steal the elections as the blackpill faggots claim they wouldn't be doing this kind of shit.

It's political harassment. They most likely won't find anything. But they can try and hold it over his head. This is no different than the Russian collusion hoax, the impeachment and the Jan 6 Q tard chimpout trial.

When you declare your candidacy your fundraising and other actions are placed under the restrictions of FEC rules

Until you do that you have much freer action

That's why Trump hasn't announced and will not until probably well into next year

Oh yeah it's "The enemy is both weak and strong", the thing Umberto Eco said was a tenant inherent to fascism, but it's really just a natural cognitive dissonance in all humans. We want to be safe and prepared for when an enemy attacks us, but we also want to be able to mock and laugh at them and have the confidence to beat/outlast them.

It doesn't even have to be a real enemy. In those newer Star Wars movies the New Empire (or whatever the fuck it was called) had the same issue which completely ruined that element of the films. I don't know what it is that hard blocks people out of being able to treat a threat as something worthy of respect even if you don't like the enemy in question.

Last I remember, it took him until 2015 to announce he was taking on Hillary.

Few years ago when Zelensky got elected to be President of Ukraine, I recall he said something along the lines of "by 2022 Ukraine will be just like America."

I thought it was optimistic at best, did not think he meant that in 2022 the levels of government corruption in America will be same as in Ukraine. Guess this time the clown was right.

All I need to know about Zelensky in 1 tweet

I'd love to know if there was a word for that, too, because man does that show up a lot in cults. (The forces of evil are everywhere at all times, waiting to attack you and everyone you love. Also, you can defeat them by performing this ritual and giving me some money.)

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

That sounds like an insult to Senator Armstrong.

Donald didn't play football, if he had it would have taken every secret service agent to subdue him.

I can't help but think it's a generational thing. Old war propaganda conveys the Japanese as 200 foot tall samurai who cut frigates in half with a sword. Today people convey Donald Trump as a tub of lard with ant-sized hands and a toilet paper necktie & then wonder why people aren't Pokemon Go-ing to the polls.
