Trump won’t commit to discouraging violence among his supporters

No fucking shit. It’s almost like he’s a demented sociopath with no regard for anything or anyone.

But corporate news won’t say that because they serve at the pleasure of wealthy republiQans, so we are doomed to play out this farce.

Why would he? It’s how he’s going to get elected. Everyone is too afraid of what happens if he doesn’t.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Donald Trump simply walked away when asked if he would discourage his followers from violence as he ended a press conference in Washington, DC after attending a hearing at the District’s US Court of Appeals.

… Determinative fraud,” Mr Trump told the press after the hearing detailing his legal team’s argument that he’s immune from prosecution in the election interference case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Mr Trump appeared in front of a panel of three judges – Michelle Childs, Karen LeCraft Henderson, and Florence Pan.

Speaking for the Department of Justice, lawyer James Pearce argued that Mr Trump is attempting to claim that his presidential immunity extends beyond his time in office, noting that in the 1974 case of US v Nixon, the court held that a president doesn’t have executive privilege in immunity from subpoenas or other actions by civil courts.

Ironically, it’s his client who has promised to make that future reality when he previously suggested that if he returns to the White House, he may have Mr Biden indicted.

At the press conference after the hearing, Trump lawyer John Lauro appeared to contradict the legal team’s immunity argument when he said, “Joe Biden could be prosecuted for trying to stop this man from becoming the next president of the United States”.
