“The advice of council”? Sir, many people, with tears in their eyes, are asking what council this was and who was sitting on the council. ---

He misspelled “judgment” too. Maybe he was distracted by a passing covfefe. ---

What prompted this confession? Why does a statute of limitations come into play? Why did he need advice of consul to have a romp in the hay with a porn star? Why admit adulterous behavior to his wife and evangelist followers? The mind boggles. ---

One, of the main reasons Trump wants back in the White House is the Statute of Limitations. I think that the years served in public office should **not** count. I’m sure Melania is very pleased that Trump is considering running again. 🤣 It seems that Ivanka and Jarred are trying to distance themselves from him. Tiffany is the only one with any brains at all. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > He misspelled “judgment” too. Thanks for that. (Every time I see it misspelled, I twitch. I know it’s a losing battle, because it’s misspelled so often that the misspelling is now an “accepted” spelling. Yeah, no. Not to anyone in the legal field, it’s not. And don’t even get me started on opening “arguments”!) ---

Don’t paint with such a broad brush. It’s nothing to do with being an American in my case. Far more to do with my upbringing – for better or worse. I often think for worse. ---

Most of the English speaking world does not use American spelling. ---

That may be true, but Trump (last I checqued 😉 ) was an American. He didn’t spell it the American way, and I seriously doubt he was doing so in an effort to sound sophisticated. He simply spelled in “wrong.” ---

Unsurprising, but it still pisses me off: > **[Trump campaign staff on 2020 election lies: 'Fan the flame'](https://www.aol.com/news/trump-campaign-staff-2020-election-113603001.html)** > > A newly released audio recording reveals that former President Donald Trump’s campaign team in Wisconsin knew they had lost the 2020 election but pivoted to allegations of widespread fraud that were ultimately debunked. ---
