Trump trial ends with smoking guns and Veepstake cameos: Trump ‘pulling strings’
#Trump #MichaelCohen #Trial
Those aren't his "friends" and they aren't OUR friends either. They're all complicit.
All are vying to be his VP. Sure wouldn't want any of them to be a replacement for 45 should something happen to him!!
They are communist radicals 😊
They're traitors.
Hopefully, you shave those armpit hairs this month
Please say it louder for the people in the back row 👍🏽
"Support a friend" absolutely laughable
So gross to see all the bros wearing coordinated suits & violating the gag order for their dear leader
Who's paying the bill, don't you have a job to do?
@@andrewbutterworth4820 The same could be asked of you. Don't worry, though, because when Trump and his mega-rich cronies tear everything down they are def going to rebuild it with your best interests in mind.
He was thinking A Fiend😂😂
@@andrewbutterworth4820They like Melania. They do-nothings.😊😊😂
Mtg must be so mad that she got left out of this desperate stunt.
NY-ers will boo her out of town again 😂
Boebert, too.
@@primrosed2338 I forgot that! That was so funny 🤣
@@richardmurray8515 Boebert would get greeted by chants of Beetlejuice! Like last time 🤣
Maybe she couldn’t find a red tie?
How pathetic do you have to be to be controlled by Trump?
Since it is a matter of free choice....incredibly pathetic.
Much rather be in the Maga cult,then to be a pitiful sheepel. Just following along with no thoughts of your own..
Really sad and pathetic
OMG! The Pinocchio/Geppetto reference is probably THE single best thing I've heard come out of this coverage!! Kudos, Mr. Melber!
The democrats saved Mike Johnson and he just gave them the third finger.
past his expiration date too.
Good for him😂😂😂
You know the story of the scorpion and the frog, right? It wasn't a question of _whether_ Johnson would go back to being....well, himself...just _how soon_ it would happen.
Does it surprise you? It's their M.O.
they wanted to ensure a normal congress that keeps the lights on. another speaker change would cause chaos. good for them.
Vivek spent 8 months of his life, and $30 million dollars... and in the end.. he got 8000 votes. that is it.. all that time and money for 8000 votes.
Another stable genius
He will make an excellent addition to djts admin.

@@kelperdude When Trump and his mega-rich cronies tear everything down they are def going to rebuild it with your best interests in mind, Kelpy.
Haley's still getting hundreds of thousands, and she's not even in the race 🤣
Vivek 😂 he and all others need to shut up. It's so embarrassing. I feel sorry for the American people.
💙💙💙💙
Totally agree…
@crissccikigbe1855 - For weeks there was no one with him. He probably called them whining about how they were making fun of him being there by his lonesome self ....
The sycophants of the Marmalade Menace are good at making a spectacle of themselves and their cult.
Donnie doesn't have friends. Just criminal associates...
More like victims. Eventually they all get tire tracks on their backs.
@@davidsalo8397 lol
You mean flunkies!!!
@@davidsalo8397 the cult may be victims, but his inner circle know very well what he is and what he's doing. They are willing participants, enablers, and planners (let's face it, trump is too dumb to know the laws to be able to twist them like his lawyers do).
The eunuchs must give honor to their master, Donald J. Trump, the Castrator-in-Chief.
I love that comment, it is sooo true. Maggas are brainless & pathetic.
Is that from the party that thinks biological males can get pregnant?
Glory seeking COWARDS!!!
I thought you weirdos loved turning men into eunuchs?
tRump's boy band in their matching outfits - Diaper Donnie and the Stink Bugs
It's not just for VP. It's for many, many high level appointments if Trump wins.
That's a actually a fair statement. I agree with that
I’m sure Melania really appreciates them supporting his infidelity. Classy folks.
Bet you support Biden's shower time with his minor children...
Being on trial in court is depressing? Who would have thought that?
Just who thinks it's supposed to be a picnic? It's supposed to be a solemn affair.
This Canadian understands that all the indictments brought against Donald Trump were voted on by (four) Grand Juries. And evidence was presented to those Grand Juries to get the indictments. We don't have Grand Juries in Canada. And yet, I understand this. How many of the MAGA crowd understand this?
@@micheleconner5083 Vivek, that's who. For his leader, everything should be handed on a silver platter. Mendacious Traitor to this Nation🇺🇸
Not nearly as depressing as 45s presidency
However, it seems like a good treatment for Trump's insomnia.
The speaker of the house is attacking a sitting judge's daughter. Is there any way back for America? Vote Dem!
But Schumer can directly attack sitting Supreme Court Justices? Oh, he’s a Dem right?
Law abiding citizens fully support Mr Trump for PRISON
Yeah. Corrupt cannibal Bribens law abiding. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅. Communists are funny.
I fully support prison for briben.
@@Americasinertia do all your comments go thru a political officer first?
@@Americasinertia For what, kelper?
@@Americasinertia durak
All this talk about the Republican VP hopefuls, and I haven’t heard one person call them out for what they are doing…trying to use the back door to the Oval. They all know that is is highly unlikely, that even if elected, trump is going to make it through another term…you do the math.
Why wouldn't he make it.
@@drowningpooralice5505 he's well down the path of dementia. If he's still alive in four years' time (which is unlikely) he will be in a secure dementia ward.
Can’t wait til I never have to hear the word “veepstakes” again.
Or vivak ramasamay......yuck.......another STUPID election Denier! FFS!🇺🇸

They look like a lame MAGA boy band and should call themselves "The Magettes" or "The Trumpettes". Mike Johnson and the Magettes should be jailed for committing contempt for Trump.
Says a cannibal supporter
@@Americasinertiaat least when we disagree with Joe Biden we do t get shunned like a Jahovah's Witness or any other extremist cult. You're in a cult.
@@AmericasinertiaSays another domestic terrorist cultist! ❄️🌎❄️
I like "magatards", has a ring, you know?
Trump already named them, MAGAdonians.
Judge Merchan's daughter should seriously consider filing defamation suits against those Trump lap dogs who spoke at the courthouse.
Why? She’s a democrat lackey.
She's making millions off her daddy's case. It's like a family business.
@kelperdude Ah, you have proof of that?
@@jamesoneill2606kelper, the chief of idiotic trolls just makes up crap as he trolls along! Just ignore him.
@@jamesoneill2606 - Yes. Her business records and client lists. 😃
Oh please they are getting desperate, it’s pathetic. 🤡😆🤣😂
The GOP has been a cult of personality since they started intentionally growing one with Reagan, and growing fascism since the 70's.
It's great to see Brian on MSNBC I was watching CNN and when they let him go I stopped watching CNN I love that dude hopefully he gets a spot on your channel
Agreed. We need more Brian Stelter!
It's not supposed to be a pleasant experience when you go to court for a crimes you committed I don't see how the Republican Party cannot understand that😮
What crimes.
@@Americasinertia if you don't know what crimes criminal Trump has committed wait a couple of months he'll be in prison in the news will tell you what he's there for
@@Americasinertia Try and pay attention, Ivan.
@@regu6582ok stalinbriben supporter. What’s the charge?
Joe, the 'leader' of the free world, the most 'powerful' man in the world, is afraid to have an audience of his own people at a debate. Incredible.
They're not his friends, he doesn't have any, he's using them.
And they are hoping to use him
So glad that all of you know who President Trump may or may not be friends with.
@@shaundababson8414 He's not the President
Rick Scott looks like Skeletor from Masters of the universe
You are known by the company you keep.
Wasn't Trump supposed to testify, according to himself and his laughing stock lawyers? I mean, we all know he obviously won't because he's terrified of actually having to tell the truth - but isn't this like the X time he's whining and yelling all over about "I WILL TESTIFY!" and he just never does? Sigh... what a wee little whimp.
Con men don’t testify. Too afraid of getting caught
man, you are really bad at this. yikes
the truth , he can not tell the truth,
The judge denied him the chance to testify.
I stand corrected. Trump said that then he changed his answer and said that the gag order doesn't cover testifying.
@@shirleywatkins1014 That's a confirmed lie.
TY Ari. You say what is actually happening, no propaganda. 🇺🇸
😂😅🤣
Donny can't get his family to show up but his co-conspirators show up
The MAGAdonians had their talking points from Donald, proving the cult is real.
And that trump VIOLATED his gag order when he approved their wordings the day BEFORE during trial! Jail time.
@@cultureal9544your commitment to stupidity is astounding.
And then the lib crying began. 😢
Wake up only cult is the crooked Joe lunatics
Oh and the democrats don’t have talking points? You’re all a bunch of hypocrites!
The Trumpets started showing up for Trump, when it was noted that no one had showed up to support him...
It is 2024 and still the crime of the century cannot be filmed. The world needs to see this trial and this criminal being exposed..
What is the crime?
@@stephenbeatty5788 You not being able to understand the charges has nothing to do with the fact he will either be found innocent or guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.
@@stephenbeatty5788- another sheeple proving their ignorance and showing they will believe anything!! 😂😂 how pathetic 😮. Such a sad state for the USA. A massive fall from grace because of a wannabe Oligarch preying on the minds of the simple people.
@@stephenbeatty5788He was dealing with 30 silvercoin or he tried to throw all others under the bus.
@@elmosweed4985the problem is, I do understand them. The other problem is, nobody else does. So far, the prosecution has not even asked questions concerning the legal theory behind the elements of the crime. So in essence, the prosecution is hoping people simply say I don’t like Trump so he is guilty and they never look at the criminal elements and if the articles have been proven.
You can be Christian or MAGA but not both!
Great comment! So true!
I think you have Reps and Dems mistaken with one another. One supports life and the other doesn't. One supports the replacement of Christianity in schools and the other is rightly against it. Your comment is ridiculously delusional... get some help. Lol
Wrong. I am a Christian and I'm a Republican. You can vote for who ever you want. Yet I don't resort to immature name calling as certain people do on either side of the fence. Furthermore, before you come off half-cocked I'm also a veteran who was Honorably Discharged that stationed abroad and has seen other countries' politics so don't even come at me about being a radical Maga psychopath as well
@@D1xonSider - You forgot to add: One is highly hypocritical ...the other is not ...
@@timothycorless7286 - Did you notice he wrote "You can be Christian or MAGA but not both!" Are you both? Because in all honesty, you really CAN'T be both. For starters, a true Christian wouldn't be propagating lies ...such as a stolen election that didn't happen. Second, just read Daniel 2:21 ....
Who do these Reps think they're fooling?
😂😂😂😂😂So true. A real comedy😂😂
Fooling??? Everyone has their opinion but all these bs trials are making Trump more popular doesn’t the Democratic Party realize this…
Come on!
The poorly educated, of course!
@@petepierre6458 Exactly .
Ummmmm, it should be obvious by now that these people have zero fear of the law and will circumvent it at any time in order to please themselves or enriches themselves. So sad these Lawmakers have no respect for Law or Order.
If you vote for Trump...you will never vote again. SAVE AMERICA VOTE BLUE!!!💙💙💙

you sound like a Karen, you must be one.
How can one person cause such a total mess really. This is ridiculous
Hmmm, Mikey supporting a friend? This friend just happens 2 b on trial for fraud. He’s committed adultery several times. One’s friends r a direct reflection of his own character. Maybe his wife should check up on him to see if ol Mikey is squeaky clean. U know , no mistresses of his own, like his “friend”!
The Trump puppet show.
Politicians are ending their careers by “support “ Tempertantrump. How much are they paid with campaign funds?
i cannot stand that Smarmy's voice, can you imagine listening to THat every day?
Many thanks to Ari, Chai and Brian! 🗽
Brian Stelter reminds me of George Costanza.
I think they're there out of desperation.
🍊he looks defeated already. 🥶
Fake indictments, sitting in a court room all day has to be boring
He did it. Now he sits there and has to take it. No whining allowed
@@Americasinertia Hey other troll. How do indictments work there in russia comrade?
@@californiacat9762😅😅. How dare an American citizen speak. Hail Stalin briben
@@DuaneHallinSDsame way in Stalin Bribens America
What about Hannibal Lector? Is he a real person? Will he hurt us?
Mike Johnson and the other maga vp hopefuls all said the same exact thing about the Judge's daughter as if its a script given to them by Trump or one of his cronies. That will breach Trumps gag order if it is, I hope this gets looked into. That could be another contempt charge.
Did you get him yet? MSNBC needs Trump for viewers
@mariachinn7136 - Even the faux pas station cuts off when he starts ranting and whining ....
I love Ari. "Straight out of Compton." 😂😂 I'd be embarrassed to show up too.
Heard a journalist noticed Trump editing Johnson's comments during the trial before he addressed the press. Trump circumventing the gag order to have his minions do his dirty work. So on-brand.
It’s over? When’s trump going to sleep now? He’s going to be grumpy with no sleep.
Doesn’t matter he’s leading the corrupt cannibal
He doesn't HAVE friends! He has sycophants. Sad stuff.
The pic of all of them together looks like the Disney version of Reservoir Pups.
"I'm just there to support a friend"...Just LOVE the look and smile on Ari's face right after the opening clip. LOL
Hope my tax money didn’t pay for these people to go to the court. I hope these politicians payed for their trip out of their own money.
Fat chance.... I think Vivek is the only one who paid his own trip to NY.... I truly believe the rest will write it down as " Congress travel expenses"
Its Republicans. What do you think?
You're so naive.
Dumpy's puppets dressed alike and salivating alike😂🤮
I don't have friends on TRIAL
You were all saying that Trump didn’t have any support. Then when they show up, you want to say something else.Bunch of hypocrites!
Believe me, Rikers Island prison is more depressing than that courtroom.
Better ground Trumps plane, he will be a risk to flee the Country when the hammer is dropped!
Geeze Mikey - thou shalt not commit adultery? To name one inconsistency..
Nope. The first thing you open with, should be an apology to Michael Cohen.
"We have to go after the judges daughter because we have nothing else. America first above its citizens!"
Thanks because I sure couldn't come up with a reason for it. I guess I have to quit thinking like an adult.
I think it was Jefferies and bipartisanship that saved Mike's speakership, not Trump. Mike is simply overwhelmed. Doesn't even know who or what helped him.
It’s not about who he slept with it’s the cover-up and all these people should be investigated for continuing criminal enterprise 😮
Of course you are.
Court is depressing... What was he expecting??
He wants to be on TV😮😂
@@skreety0455 right ✔️
Do they think the court room is a Club Med, and the judge is there to serve them cocktails? Omigod these grownass babies have *no idea* how the American judicial system works.
These strange-o's outside the courthouse must be auditioning for something akin to the next Nuremberg trial.
JD Vance is perfect for the human version remake of Pinocchio.
Twump’s friends?
I didn’t know that he had any
They show up because they know he's guilty
Guilty of what?
What is he guilty of? Go on...
Guilty? Of what exactly?
I guess this makes all those Senator's and other politicians 'children' fair game for unscrupulous political operators? God help them all? Talk about opening Pandora's box?
Oh and I suppose it's good news for 'court-room' architects as court buildings country-wide all have to be brought up to 'Presidential' standard. You know, just in case?
I can’t understand how people take Trump seriously, I am seriously frightened for my future. I am barely making it in this world and if Trump becomes president I am done.
Melania was not present to support a Friend😮
2:00 It's a _court,_ not a playground. Court is where you deal with crimes (not criminals-- no one is deemed a criminal until they're found guilty) and resolve arguments. It's where pathos and tragedy and conflict _have to_ converge in order to get past them through the course of justice.
alternative truth is a russian weapon
Now that they went to support their "friend" taking a day off work will they get paid for this day off,will the taxpayer have to foot the bill for their transport,food etc.,what a clown show.
All of these GOP Puppets can go to jail with Trump! We're sick of them ALL!
Dr Feelgood is raking in big bucks.😂😂
So good they are showing up❤❤
We the people. We have to vote to get rid of this crazy. Vote blue up and down the ballot 💙💙💙🌊😎
Notice how many of those top Republicans were wearing the Red Tie of Submission. They would also have worn The Cheap Blue Suit of the Grifter but there wasn't time to get them here from China.
It was done on purpose. All had on the same color suit,too. 45 didn't get the memo. He had on a yellow tie!😂😂😂
Some sickos.
No way to explain away the Republican presence to support a psychopath
who is doing the q anon financing.
mike flynn
Dimentia donny for the looney bin
Yes you are
All this auditioning for The Donald Trump Show by people we pay $174k/ year to who evidently have nothing better to do. Then there's Johnson thumbing his nose at our judicial system and the Dems who helped him keep his job. It's difficult to state how deplorable this is, but Republicans have managed to perfect to a new level the art of groveling. Shameful.
When Trump is convicted, I'll show up to support my friend sentencing 😅
For?

Y’all been saying that for 8 years. It’s not gonna happen 😂
