The first former US president to face criminal charges: Donald Trump now holds this dubious and historic record after a court in New York indicted him on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
The charges relate to a $130,000 hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election.
Mr Trump’s dramatic day in court dominates front pages around the world.

Trump was a superior president relative to Biden….
Drop the charges, and free up Trump.”
That in the quote by some no name; proves how stupid our people are!
“MAJOR BREAKING: Biden adds 943k jobs — more jobs in a single month than Trump netted during his ENTIRE TERM. Are you glad Biden is President?” reads an Aug. 30 Facebook post.
The post was shared more than 12,000 times in about a week.
Strictly looking at the numbers, the claim is accurate.
In May, total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 559,000, and in June, it rose by 962,000. August saw a smaller increase in jobs, at around 235,000.
July was the best month of the summer, with total nonfarm employment rising by more than 1 million. That figure was adjusted from 943,000 – the number in the claim – in the bureau’s August employment report.
Con:
Cont:
“The post compares that number to the number of jobs Trump netted throughout his entire term, a figure determined by subtracting the total number of jobs when he entered office from the number of jobs when he left office.
When Trump was inaugurated in January 2017, there were nearly 145.6 million employed Americans, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By December 2020, his last full month in office, there were about 142.6 million total nonfarm employees — about 3 million fewer than when Trump took office.”
Now to the ignorant Dominican “Me” who thinks that Donald was superior to president to Joe Biden, if you are so damn smart, and adamant the perverted crook Trump was superior to Biden do some fact check, if you are capable, you don’t have to believe anything I submitted.
Boy; no wonder, you people in Dominica or where you are will never be better off in life all due to your stupid mentality; always on the lower side of the equation!
Donald Duck had order an arrest warrant for Venezuela ruling President, but it appear as though it was for he himself, but he did not know. Remember Donald don’t read; he just sign.
Hello and good afternoon my people. Donald Trump is a crook and he will always be a crook. It’s just that he has money to hire good lawyers and to bank rupt his accusers but he can’t out spend the American government. His father left them a billion dollars real estate portfolio so what his mother,sister and two brothers inherited. Well according to his niece he stole from her father Fred Trump jr. Now seventeen women accused Donald Trump of Rape or Sexual abusing them and he said he will sue them but he still haven’t file any such law suit. Ms Carroll who is suing him for raping her case will go to trial in New York starting April 25th. Trump wife was pregnant and he was sleeping with two prostitutes for which he paid hush money too just before the election to keep them silence . He then falsified his business books that’s why he was indicted.
The CIA is protecting him so when he’s convicted he won’t go to jail rather he will be issued a fine.
Tony even if you are talking the truth about Trump there are many stupid Trump supporters writing crap on this site woh will not believe a word you wrote.
Regarding his nice and the truth she told about him I spoke to Dominican about that who refused to believe what I was conveying to him. When I emphasize that his nice spoke about Trump stealing their money on nation wide Televison the Dominican told me his nice have a grudge against him. You know people get angry with me when I say or call our people dumb and stupid, but this is one occasion where I how stupid our people are.
I don’t see what they hope to gain from Donald, a damn crook who hate black people and call black nations countries “shi.hole country.”
Mary Trump hated him so why you called her his NICE. I thought she was his brothers child. That makes her his niece. Come on Dr. Engineer Dods.
In the first place I am not Dr. Engineer Dods (Doods). By profession I am an Electronic/Electrical Engineer. two separate disciplines, I can work in the field of electrons independently of anything relating to electrical distribution, or engineering.
In addition; I also have a degree in the Liberal Arts. Hence you can continue as the …… you are talking fart which has no effect on me.
What is your profession: idiocy?
Only a stupid person would asks such stupid question.”Mary Trump hated him so why you called her his NICE.”
Trump and his niece are biologically relate, that’s his brother daughter, so because the family is dysfunctional does that mean she is not his niece, hence one should not refer to her as his niece?
That is stupid!
And if you believe it is easy to become an Electronic or Electrical Engineer, go and try to become one and find out how smart one has to be to succeed in either field!
I write comments on DNO but I am not an idiot nobody!
Where is your sense of humor old man?I meant to tease you on the spelling there is a difference with words. You said she was his NICE…..You would be surprised at my occupation. Hint I control your money by occupation. That’s enough
What is this guy still obsessed about being a one time president, is not worse than being a racist and a bigot. DeSantis of Florida will beat him at the bigot/racist thing anyway to satisfy their boss the Qanon klan in the party. He is all washed up, even an old man almost one hundred years old Biden has him against the ropes where he belongs fighting to remain the relevant anti black ex pres. Go DeSantis, beat him and put the non-whites in their place as you intend; they need a reality check.
@Channel 2
Here is not the place for your venom, anger and desperation.
Trump All The Way!!!
Both De Santis and Trump needs to Run get list somewhere. De Santis is not better two jokers in a pack. Anyone that wants to get rid of Black History is a joke. Want teachers to get rid of all history books. How will our kids learn of the Underground train. Rosa Parks. Come on people none is suitable.
@Facts, it took me a while to see the sarcasm in that comment, but I got it. Bet you they are both as racist as the Texas and Mississippi governors.
Sorry typo. Abbot is a true Kkk associated with them. These people are racist not suitable for office. That’s the reason he calls him De Santiminious. Since Trump Rhetoric all these Mass Shootings have increased. Why isn’t there gun control. So many innocent lives. Trump started the fire. I am sure this 21 yr old started this group because of Trump rhetoric and the NRA… Now facing 15yrs imprison for posting these documents…life is through in a minute. Still don’t understand 21 yr old having access to Classified documents.
I am back home now, but my two sisters are both Republicans. That’s 2 sure votes for Mr DONALD TRUMP.
He is by a very long way the better candidate.
Why are you stuttering,the man is an insane culprit, being indicated, what’s your sister’s votes got to do with that?¹
Oh shut it J.John-Charles.
YUCK!!!!!Do your research. Read some more. Yellow head is joke. Not suitable. Racism is in the bones can’t be cured. Would not hire a black accountant on the fear of him stealing his monies . Would not rent to any African American. This needs to be addressed. With all his grab them by the !!!!! Or all the people who came forward did you see any blacks? He said black women are unattractive. This world has some beautiful black women. Trump didn’t change because he because he became president. Neither his family.
The longest rope has an end. From the time Trump announced his interest in seeking the presidency,the media and democrats have been working over night to destroy him.
The U.S. was doing fine under Trump. Also the other nations of the world,they respected Trump and the U.S. Now under Biden the U.S. is like a door mat. Imagine China had it’s balloon spying over the the U.S.military sites for several days.
Biden,his son, brother and other members of his family have received millions of dollars from China.He cannot say or do much against China.
So what do you expect?
You forgot he, Biden, said he would destroy Nord Stream pipeline, and it happened. A humongous piece of international terrorism…Why Russia did not attack them guys, i really dont know!!!
I gather that you did not follow his advice to inject bleach into your veins to get rid of your covid, since you are still alive to continue spewing your nonsense about your cult leader. Unfortunately, due to his incompetence thousands of Americans died. Anyway, when all these criminal acts this crook is facing over the next few months finally catches up with him we will be burying him not fearing another four years of his presidency.
Come on the balloon has been there when Trump the idiot was in office…do your research. Don’t blame it on Biden
I also gather with 34 Felonies and waiting for his case with the GA DA. To kill the votes . Telling them how many he needed. Telling them to create fraud so he could win. Money Laundering. Kill and fix the books having the innocent people killed on Jan 6. Now the fools lost their families. Some attorneys lost their certification to please Trump. How many families he visited. Tell me are all these good Leadership Qualities. You go figure
“”MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN””!!
Trump for 2024 ALL THE WAY!!
Biden is famous for his gaffes.
Biden does not have a handle on inflation.
Biden is stuck in Ukraine…in a war Ukraine and NATO combined have a 0% chance of winning.
Dedollarization is taking place under Biden.
The petro dollar is under attack under Biden
China is rocketing ahead of the USA under Biden
BRICKS is overflowing with countries that are eager to join, because of warmonger Biden.
China and Russia have taken Saudi Arabia a key USA ally for years from the USA.
China and Russia has entered into an alliance, that’s militarily world threatening under Biden.
CHINA is brokering peace, Biden is fighting.
Hell with sleepy Biden. Sleepy Joe!!
“”TRUMP FOR 2024″”
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”
Pure rubbish. You make no sense…
@Make it make sense
ou failed to say what make no sense. Is it what you wrote?
You failed to say what makes no sense. Is it what you wrote?
It don’t matter to us, 6/half dozen. It’s not about economy, it’s about race, gay rights and gun control. Dems think they have the race thing covered by bringing in Latinos to replace black vote. What is significant is that Trump is going to be beaten by Florida’s DeSantis for most overt racist, and again, by a almost one- hundred year old man for pompous stupidity.
With former President Donald Trump now formally charged on criminal charges, a majority of Americans (53%) believe he intentionally did something illegal, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.
An additional 11% say he acted wrongly but not intentionally. Only 20% believe Trump did not do anything wrong, and 16% say they don’t know, per the ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
As part of the Tuesday charges against the former president, Manhattan prosecutors alleged that Trump engaged in a “scheme” to boost his election chances during the 2016 presidential race through a string of hush money payments made by others to boost his campaign, and then “repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records” to conceal that criminal conduct.
A “state
Everything I read your fart I dream of you getting your behind kicked!
Biden can’t control inflammation, I suppose you can.
Well then how come you cannot go into Nasif grocery shop that thing you all call supermarket and tell them to remove the almost $300.00 price tag they have on the fuzzy burnt pieces of salmon imported from New Zealand.
And also go to Canada, Germany, France, England and the rest of the world and bring down inflation.
Tell you what get the damn Dominica thief to help you.
.
Who has the Inflammation Dods? is it Biden or Trump. Where is the inflammation in their rear end? I would advise that you seek medical help for Biden. Trump give him some Aloe…. By the way how did you hear of their inflammation? I thought medical problems should not make Public.
Trump was a superior president relative to Biden….
Drop the charges, and free up Trump.
If you mean a superior crook, liar, con man and cheat, then you are right.
@jaded
Are you illiterate?
I said a superior PRESIDENT!!!
Proof is on the Pudding. He was a superior crook say it like it as is is. He is not suitable to be a president. Slept with so many women outside of marriage. He broke the last straw when he caused January 6. Lieing to the stupid people. Go on I will be right there!!!!!!!never showed up. Hang Mike Pence. Where were you to defend your VP. Shame on condoning these action. Trump is a crook.
Imagine going this far to try to hold down one man.
– 2+ years of investigation into Russia collusion – NOTHING
– 4+ years of the entire media complex trying to throw dirt at him – NOTHING
– 2 Impeachment trials – NOTHING
– FBI Raids, investigation – STILL NOTHING
– “whistleblowers” coming out with all kinds of crazy stories about Trump fighting with secret service (lol)
– leaked documents, phone calls etc
Just pure madness and now this. So once he gets over this next hurdle that they try to throw at him probably only the next thing is they might try to JFK him.
I think this is about more than the presidency. Maybe Trump knows more about the stuff that went on with EPSTEIN and there’s a bunch of powerful people who are terrified that he gets back into the position where he can really unleash the DOJ on them again.
YUP!!!! Donald for 2024. Put him back in the WH. Donald cares for no one but HIMSELF, not even his children. Donald’s fight to get back in the WH is to cover his arse. YOU, can MAGA all you want but he’s RAN all his life, his actions has caught up with him. The WH was his safe haven, not anymore. He need to suffer the consequences of his actions. You can run but you cannot hide regardless to how many years you’re in HIDING.
What next for him our black DA Bragg will have him in jail. Unable to run for President. He is a Con man. Really hates black people just tolerating and using them. What ever happened to the Nurosurgen. Such a good doctor. Trump is through with him. He does better separating Twins
He was part of Epstein sex leader of course he knows more. You forgot he was part of the gang with Prince Andrew. So
He wasn’t arrested.
He was arrested, he got fingerprinted and has a mugshot. He was not handcuffed, however. I know.
You must watch pie in the sky news…. He did NOT take a mugshot.
Well you watch too much Oan, they blurred it out on Fox. What does it matter anyway? You are the one that watch too much main stream Kuklux media, people don’t depend on those nor cnn msnbc etc anymore they have moved on to different media. You need to move past that by now.
Only a Dominica fool could talk such hogwash!
In the United states, when one is indicted, and ordered to turn themselves in to be arrested, the Miranda warning i given; it is a type of notification customarily given by police to criminals like Donald Trump in police custody advising of their rights to silent, and protection, if one is not arrested what would they doing in police custody?
How could Trump attend to his arraignment which is a formal reading of a criminal charging document in the presence of the defendant, to inform them of the charges against them.
Prior to that it is mandatory that they are arrested, and fingerprinted!
So, whoever you are if you are not a fool, don’t behave as one; you know you foolish people think Donald Trump, is some god, and he is above the law; his indictment should be lesson that in America money don’t buy one way out of trouble, for when caught the criminals suffer the consequences!
Trump now has a mugshot like every other criminal…
No mugshot was taken. Get the facts correct before you type nonsense.
Funny, I’m a Dominican descendant and I’m a Trump supporter.
Ya all 3 of you.
They always find you 3 to place right behind him ‘in public’.
Now they are saying his son wrote the check to Stormy Daniel. Come-on Dominicans you all know nothing about this Crook. He is a racist. I believe the 34 ,felonied against him is justified. He is not above the law… He ran around like a dog. He was a terrible president. He did bad just hunting Obama’s Birth Certificate for 8yrs. Karma back at him. He reaps what he sewed. ask Mary Trump. I hope he never get back into office. Clarence Thomas and your trophy wife your Egyptian is being uncovered…… Go Bragg Go Show Trump you came from Harlem went to Harvard and can’t be intimidated.
Please!!!!he was just treated differently. When you are a president the secret service have to protect you through life. Tell me are they going to put them in the Cell with him? Mr Yellow head one time president are you ready for lunch? No they would not show the world. He was treated as one. They refuse to get the door for him. Trump is not above the law. More to come shortly.
Trump is the first American former president indicted on a criminal offence, nevertheless there is another who was arrested.
Ulysses S. Grant was arrested while he was in office: In 1872 Grant was speeding down a Washington D.C., street in a horse and buggy, when he was stopped by a black police officer by the name of William West.
West recognized Grant and told him “Mr. president you are going too fast; Grant respond Oh, I know I’ll never do it again; he was caught doing the same thing by William West, again and the rest is history.
On one occasion Grant said I know I was speeding; you should arrest me, and don’t feel badly about it. All of this took place when Grant was president in the years 1869 to 1877 during the period of reconstruction.
I know some stupid Dominican will call me lie on this one, and thumbs down will be many; but I could care less!
Research before making fools of yourselves!
@Francisco
Have respect for Dominicans brother. You are more s….. by a very long shot than 99% of Dominicans. No wonder all your comments here are ladened with insults. You just cant do better, because you don’t have it.
I knew some would be idiotic enough to give me thumbs down; question is what’s their reason.
There can’be any reason than the two are damn stupid!
Hahahahahahahahahahah!
Francisco, the ones that gave you thumbs down are all so-called useless workers incompetent supporters most of them never heard of Donald trump, until recently.
Mr. Telemakak-Knowitall had another long session on Google and feels obliged to share it with all you! What a pathetic attention seeker, just like Skerrit.
I also gather with 34 Felonies and waiting for his case with the GA DA. To kill the votes . Telling them how many he needed. Telling them to create fraud so he could win. Money Laundering. Kill and fix the books having the innocent people killed on Jan 6. Now the fools lost their families. Some attorneys lost their certification to please Trump. Tell me are all these good Leadership Qualities. You go figure
There is nothing wrong in research especially on Google. At least he took the time and research before he talk off his head. I don’t always agree with Mr know it all…but let’s not crush him because he does his research.
Senior Francisco, slow your roll!!! You can continue to engage in a one man game of verbal nitpicking and legal gymnastics; however, nothing you shared has overshadowed the historical significance of Trump’s arrest.
I, for one, can acknowkedge that you are correct in your statement that Trump was not arressted (at least not yet).
From a historically significant standpoint, to insinuate that the difference and legal exposure between Grant’s $20 speeding violation and Trump’s 34 charged felonies would be as big a mis-step as comparing a mole hill and Mount Everest!!!
Okay, as long as you know about Grant, that’s good enough for me.
However: “you are correct in your statement that Trump was not arressted (at least not yet).”
Sorry I don’t think I said he was not arrested. I indeed said he was arrested.
He was arrested; his Miranda rights was read, he was fingerprinted, and booked!
The only the only thing they allow him to evade was putting his hands behind his back and handcuff him.
I saw him when the walked him into the room where he was photograph, and fingerprinted; that is something that is mandatory in a criminal matter prior to an arraignment.
Now in the case of a misdemeanor, such as getting sighted by the police for speeding and other minor traffic violation, one is not necessary arrested prior to an arraignment, unless that person failed to go to court at a specified date on the ticket, then a warrant is issued.
Now, I got arrested twice so I know how it works
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Indeed He was arrested……sophisticated way…. Definitely was. They agreed no Mug Shot. I am sure there is one under cover.
Just saying: the place you got your information from is wrong; they gave you or you made up wrong information.
Anytime one is arrested in America, the culprit must be profiled: Therefore they are fingerprinted, and photograph, fro m different angles, and a file is created.
So, just in case you do not know the police did mugshot Donald Trump, that is mandatory in America, it is the law.
If Trump was not mugshot, that would mean he is above the law, that is not how it works in America, he’s a damn criminal and was treated as such!
A mugshot is a photograph of a persons face made for an official purpose, especially police record.
I don’t know how come you are so blind. We saw him went into the room where he was processed and booked on national TV but you in Dominica knows he was not mugshot
You all Dominicans supporting Trump can talk crap about he was not mugshot, he was not arrested: I asks which American Criminal law class have you all taken?
Guy Donald was mugshot!
Trump is a saint compared to Ugly Lenny.On Tuesday 4 April 2023 Ugly is on q95 telling the media whore that Skerrit has $4.5 billion hidden some where from the sale of our passports.The government does not sell passports and Skerrit is not a passport agent.There are 35 authorised CBI agents plus promoters and sub agents.There is a percentage from the sale of citizenship for due diligence.The government gets a percentage from the CBI.Ugly is saying to his already idiotic supporters that all monies from the CBI goes to Skerrit.It is the percentage received by government which goes into paying Yes we care,NEP and the $300 received by senior citizens monthly.Ugly Lenny and his handful of crooks,traitors and liars know that.That is why they are going all out to kill the CBI.If they kill the programme Dominicans will suffer and they will blame Skerrit for their suffering and kick him out of office.
Your comment confirms beyond any shadow of a doubt that you suffer from severe schizophrenia. An inmate is missing from the mental asylum.
You are so wrong to compare Lenny with Trump. He is not enough of a Con Man to make this comparison. how dear you Compare Lennox with this Crook. Shame on you. lin Clown
This will drag on for a long time, but nothing will come out of it! What it has done, is to divide America more.
Long live Trump!!
Why don’t you shut to F-up damn ignorant; you think America is Dominica where politicians thief, and get away with it; you think America is Dominica where one who is a citizen of France and prime minister of Dominica, and the judicial system does nothing rather than cove his crime.
If you were not ignorant, and not talking fart simple to be heard, under a bunch of question marks, and your source of information, and intelligence did not derive from a pit hole filled with feces in Dominica, you might have heard Trump in Waco Texas telling the idiots following after him while he takes their money, that the case was over: finished; Less than a week later his as., was indicted he has to answer to 34 criminal counts, why don’t your kind simple drop dead!
If you are running the justice system, and you know so much American law, tell us on what legal argument you based your stupid comment!
Trump and ignorant people like you thought he was above the law.
He knows different now.
While your stupid heart bleeds for Donald, here is what happened to a Black Counsel man in Los Angeles days ago; and let me tell you his position was more important than Roosevelt chicken feces position:
“Mark Ridley-Thomas one of Los Angeles County’s most prominent politicians, was found guilty Thursday, 30th March, 2023 on Federal corruption charges for extracting special benefits for his son from USC while voting in support of motion and a contract sought by the university.
The verdict, which jurors reached in their fifth day of deliberations, marks a devastating fall for a man who for more than 30 years was a power broker in L.A. politics and a staunch advocate for civil rights, and racial justice.
Ridley-Thomas 68, now faces the possibility of years in federal prison and the permanent loss of his seat on the L.A. City Council which has been suspended for the last 17 months.”
So, in America, politicians are subjected to the law as anyone else!
Different to Dominica.
Waiting for Biden’s turn for the terrorist attack on Nord Stream, and the alleged involvement of the Bidens re money recived from China.
Who the hell cares about Trump we have more problems in da
Thank you, I must give you thumbs up on that!
Number four thumbs is mine, if I could give you a hundred thumbs up I would happily do so.
All of those jacka…. supporting trump are doing so , because they believe Trump is rich, and should be privilege, and affixed himself above the law. In America, when you do the crime expect to serve the time in jail.
There are billionaires in America serving time in jail for committing less sever crimes than Donald has committed!
Even if I am not a fan of Donald Trump I believe what has occurred is double standard. Even if I am a fan of Hilary Clinton despite what she did the fact is she was not pursued and left alone and nothing much has been said or done with Hunter Biden. Why can’t Trump be left alone as well? That is not fair. I am totally against these charges and arrest imposed on Trump. Yes he violated the law but didn’t Hilary and Hunter break the law as well? What is good for the gander should be good for the goose as well. There is too much personal vendetta on both sides of the aisle in politics as well as too much personal ridiculing from supporters on both sides of the aisle.
Are you forgetting what he did to Obama? Paying millions to get him deported and trying to hunt his birthCert. He complained that Obama stays on the Golf course but no other president has been on the Golf course more than Trump. Magwasa
‘Some entity’ is deliberately trying to wreck America and Donald Trump is a very, very stubborn obstacle to their plans as THEY cannot control him.
So it appears their tactic is too hurl all sorts of legal charges against him and hope one sticks.
Now when opposition candidates in other countries around the world are arrested in election years on these sorts of UNCLEAR QUESTIONABLE charges, the perception is that the leader(s)/system in these countries have gone rogue & are anti-democratic, anti-human rights yadda yadda.
But when the same thing happens in the US of A where the main opposition candidate – Donald Trump – is arrested & charged about a year & seven months before elections on possible dubious charges, I wonder what the perception now will be of the US leader(s)/system that’s orchestrating these moves.
Exactly. The country is in a complete mess. The economy is falling apart. A whole bunch of banks and silicon valley firms had to be bailed out on the US taxpayer’s expense while smaller banks collapsing. They give insurance to the big banks while letting the smaller banks fail, that way everybody is funnelled into a few big banks which they can control more easily for when they are ready to implement their new world order system of monetary control through digital currencies and digital IDs.
But forget that, what we really need to worry about is a former president allegedly paying some money to some tramp to keep her mouth shut. All because this guy is one of the few people willing to do something about the plans they have for the country, and they know that doing another JFK probably wouldn’t go down too well in 2023.
I wonder when people will actually wake up. People still believing the things they hear on CNN etc even after all what we learned from the last 2 years
We call this money Laundering. The money was used from campaign funds. To Kill it. The money came from the wrong pile….as a leader this is illegal. Anyway the dude was married at the time. Not one not two but 17 women. If you are to Lead this should not be so. Without reproach. Then trying Jan 6 coaching the people to go fight. Even his own daughter Ivanka has separated from her corrupt dad
It’s a fight between Democrats and Republicans JJ, white supremacy at work, keep your shirt on.
Your concern should ɓe where do your people fit in the grand scheme of things, assuming you are non-white (yeh right) and still binge-watch fox, Oan, and other white supremacy media to form your opinion.
Stick with the side of your mother. Don’t go it alone, read on Black History written by your people, please do – It’s out there, not hidden anymore. You will see exactly how this thing plays out historically.
