  1. If he didn't, "surrender," as you put it, they would have just issued an active warrant for his arrest just like anyone else. He didn't surrender. They all plan on fighting the charges. Even Maple Syrup News can't resist a cheap shot ?

  2. Of course he did. People are in for a rude awakening when Trump is cleared of all charges. Its all a charade. Its like watching a movie in real time.

    Basically the Trump coverage takes away from other news stories.
    Its time Canadian mainstream media covers the corruption of politicians in
    our own country. Start investigating Trudeau and go from there that would
    be a change in the right direction.

  3. Why this reporter seems angry about how the ‘mugshot’ backfired against the prosecutors? After all why a mugshot was needed to a person who was the president of the country? Was it not to just defame him?

  4. He said “Stand back and stand by,
    And I’ll be there to lead you!”
    But instead he hid in the bunker
    Watching and laughing
    While his rabid insurrectionists
    Launched the attack on the Capitol!

    And now he says
    To the same rabid cultists
    “Never surrender!”’
    after surrendering himself
    And the morons might then
    interpret that statement as
    “Let’s keep on fighting”
    While he’ll be watching the destruction from Mar-a-Lago!

  5. I can’t wait till we see Poilievre’s mugshot when the RCMP investigates his breach of public trust by being on the take by Crypto investors to promote the digital currency while being a public office holder. He may also get booked for conspiracy charges for whatever unethical discussion he had in person, by phone or email with the Freedom Convoy Organizers and the Canada-US border blockaders before they shut down Downtown Ottawa and further disrupted Canada’s supply chains.

  6. He is a champion. No matter what you do to him. He comes out on top. This is the kind of leader America wants. Marxist don’t want him so of course they attack him and it just reminds us why we elected him in the first place.

    I’ll be buying these mugs for everybody.

  7. Where a party can dream up- ways to prosecute their political opponent and the Liberal propaganda machine known as the media goes right along with it, it's a banana republic. Biden leveraged 1 billion dollars of taxpayer money so his son could keep getting paid from Burisma…. Crickets from the Liberal media.

  8. So CNN, are you going to report on the thousands of bodies washing up at Maui, FEMA officials staying in 5 star hotels and treating what is a war zone as some sort of holiday ? The corrupt mayor and police department who wont answer basic questions. Or is doing actual reporting on actual events not your forte ?
