as trump is taken to the backroom called jail,

That got a laugh on this end.

It's been said many times on this forum that trump is a "one-trick pony" and this latest development is further proof.

It is beyond his intellectual ability to understand there are different rules for different forums. He employs the same tactics in every arena, especially with interpersonal communication. Of course, can you blame him when so often he is deferred to after insulting a person like Bill Bahr and then having Bahr say he would still vote for him?
