Episode 737: Trump and Our Two-Tiered Justice System

This week on Ring of Fire!


As expected, Donald Trump manages to escape justice, yet again.
The appeals court decided at the last minute on Monday to not
only reduce his bond from $464 million to $175 million, but they
also gave him an extra 10 days to pay it. There was no reason at
all for the extension or the reduction, but this is the kind of
thing that always happens with Donald Trump.


While speaking to reporters on Monday, Donald Trump suggested
that being a convicted felon might actually help him in this
year's election. He was referring to the New York hush money case
that is heading to trial on April 15th, where he will face an
already-angry judge and a jury that likely won't be fond of him.
But he's delusional if he thinks a conviction will help him, as
every single poll that's asked the question shows that a
conviction would cause him to lose.


President Biden has spent the past few weeks (and days) going
hard against Donald Trump, and it is being reflected in the
latest rounds of polling. Biden has now surged in 5 swing states
while Trump has fallen in nearly all of them over the past month.
If the election were held today and followed the polls, Biden
would easily cruise to an electoral victory. But he has to
maintain this aggressive campaign to be successful.


Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna went on Fox News this
week to talk about the mass exodus of Republican lawmakers from
the House, and she accused her Party of a plot to "cripple"
themselves. She was referring to the fact that Republicans will
now only have a one vote majority, and her anger was directed at
those who have resigned this year. But she needs to actually be
angry at the extremists in her Party that are pushing everyone
out.


All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
