In response, Trump's defense attorney, Chris Kise said, "Based on my understanding this was truly inadvertent."

"The Truth Social post was taken down when the court asked," Kise said. "Truth Social was taken down and Trump never made any more comments about court staff, but it appears no one took it down on the campaign website. It is unfortunate and I apologize on behalf of my client."

Whoops! My bad. All good here, nothing to see.

Oh, that's bullshit. He has some sort of fetish about being thrown in jail over campaign speech. It is no accident they left it up there. "Biden locked me up because he is afraid of my campaign!!!1!!1111!!1!one!"

It's easy. He gets thrown in jail, him and his cronies get to paint him as a martyr. It's all he has left

Fetish is probably exactly the right word. He idolizes Hitler. Jan 6 was his Beer Hall Putsch, next he needs to get convicted, give a really long speech about being wildly more antiemetic and patriotic than anyone could ever imagine and then he needs to sit in a cushy prison cell where he can "write" his version of Mien Kampf.

Not like Trump ever lied to his lawyers.

Honestly as much as I hate the guy I can kinda see how that could happen.

I can see how the post got mirrored automatically and they lost track of it, sure, but remember that he posted the damn thing in the first place. All he had to do was to choose, for once in his life, to not be an asshole.
