Donald Trump and the Line that Doesn't Exist

 In 2019 the future Fulton County DA, Fani Willis defended a guy named YSL Mondo when he was charged with aggravated assault. In her capacity as District Attorney her office is now prosecuting him and about 14 others under RICO statutes. Ms. Willis has never attempted to hide her previous defense of Mondo. It is a matter of public record.

In January of this year Mondo was interviewed in Rolling Stone about the case. He told them, "This is not her character, not who she is. I done had auntie-to-nephew, mother-to-son types of talks with her." He went on to tell the magazine he thought Willis was under political pressure to prosecute and others were, "pulling her strings."

Is there a single word about sex in any of that? I didn't think so.

Enter Donald John Trump.  

Last week the GOP front runner addressed a rally in New Hampshire and said this, "They say there is a young woman--a young racist in Atlanta--they say, I guess, she was after a certain gang and she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang, or a gang member. And this is a person who wants to indict me." He added , "She's got a lot of problems. But she wants to indict me to run for some other office. By the way she wants to indict me for a perfect phone call. This was even better than my perfect call with Ukraine. Remember that?"

Why yes we do, you corrupt son of a bitch. In the call to Ukraine you told Volodymyr Zelensky you would let him have the missiles congress had already promised, but only if he would dig up dirt on Hunter Biden. In the perfect call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger you told him he needed to find you 11,000 plus votes to overturn the legitimate results of the presidential election in the state. You mentioned to him that he could go to jail if he didn't do what you were asking him to.  

This morning Trump took to social media to post another attack on Willis. He opened with, "Why is Phoney (like PERFECT PHONE CALL get it) Fani Willis, the severely underperforming DA of Fulton County who is being accused of having an affair with a Gang Member of a group that she is prosecuting leaking my name in regard to a Grand Jury..." It goes on and on and on--mostly in one exhausting sentence, but you get the drift.

Of course what the Don didn't mention is he is the only person out there, or at least he was, who is accusing Ms. Willis of having an affair. And like most of his facts he just made it up. Mondo certainly didn't say he had a sexual relationship with her. Neither has any one else in the music industry who is supporting him and his crew. 

Don't think this bullshit won't spread in right wing circles like a wildfire though. Laura Loomer posted on what used to be Twitter, "Atlanta DA, Fani Willis who is targeting Donnald Trump in Georgia is a straight up THOT. Turns out she failed disclose a previous relationship she had with a gang banger she was supposed to be prosecuting. Baby girl belongs in a trap house. Not a courthouse." 

For those of you without the street cred of Laura Loomer, THOT is an acronym for "That Ho: Over There." Trap house is slang for a building drugs are sold out of. 

Many of us have stopped wondering when Donald Trump will cross over a line which is just too much for the American people. We've become convinced no such line exists. Too many of us embrace and adore the supreme ugliness he personifies. Ultimately people like Laura Loomer and those cultists at his rallies cheer him on, not because he is Donald Trump. They all love him, because he is them.
