- A key witness in Donald Trump's criminal trial testified Thursday about his role in hush money payments to a porn actress and a Playboy model the former president allegedly had affairs with - and Trump's plan to make sure other negative stories about him never saw the light of day. The Morning Joe panel discusses the criminal trial, and historian Jon Meacham wonders if those committed to voting for Trump for a third time are impacted by the case.

They have to call it "alleged", we all know that it is real. Well, everybody except for the tens of millions who are still part of the Trump cult. I can't see any possibility of them getting out of this cult.

🌊☑️🌊 VOTE ☑️ BLUE! 🌊☑️🌊
Vote all Repubs OUT--local, state, and nat'l.
America has gone from dumb to dumber.
I've been voting in presidential elections for the last 55 yr. Hearing Meacham's comments about Trump being an entertainer and voters "liking it " is appalling. That we, the US voter, have so little fortitude to take presidential nominees seriously and choose to vote for someone like Trump who is unfit, incompetent and seriously dangerous to our democracy is very scary. It is imperative that every citizen eligible vote in November 2024 for Biden
That says it all about Americans….thats how the world sees the USA😊
That anyone thinks I might like this is INSANE! My goal is to vote Trump far, far away from any seat of power......
It's the Jerry Springer, WWE, Kardashians, Real Housewives fan base mentality. This mentality has been fostered and encouraged for decades by the entertainment industry that never cared about the outcome, just the ratings. If you actually survey some of the most popular "reality shows" on TV, it's terrifying how rampant and popular stupidity and superficiality are.
The entertainment industry has fed Americans a steady diet of vapid show after vapid show designed to either entertain brainlessly, distort priorities, or make them feel superior by watching orchestrated train wrecks. Combine that with chronic divestment from education, and ta da!
The poorly educated public has always been the cash cow for politicians, the rich and the church. That will never change and Trump wasn't the first or last to do it. Trump just empowered and weaponized stupidity.
agreed. the better our government is functioning, the more boring it should be to watch. voting for an "entertaining" government is like choosing a surgeon for their jokes.
As I see it, the US have drifted into a country at the mercy of commerce and it's advertized happiness through supersized portions and undersized education for far too long. At the same time, you, the people have for too long accepted that your government and other institutions can lie to you about what the real agenda is behind many decisions. If the CEOs of large and powerful companies take turns to become a national advisers, something has gone wrong.
Sorry, we don't like it! This is our country not a reality show. He is making us look like a joke!!! I can't stand even looking at his face, LET ALONE how he is making a mockery out of America.
Our democracy is at stake. I believe the jury will find Trump guilty. Then, Trump will say the entire trial was rigged. Everyone is against him.
Biden is the one making it look like a joke

Who needs a "fixer" and why would anyone vote that personinto the White House?
Same reason Americans send money to religious leaders/televangelists so they can have a newer jet to replace last year's model and get into heaven. They are dumb.
I understand that a large majority of the American public are dumb in all kinds of ways. It is only ever shocking when others ask "why are people doing dumb things."
Because they are dumb.
Joe needed his son to be a fixer to try and hide all his illegal business dealing with China and Ukraine, that's why his whole family has linked accounts to move money around.
The redneck nation..
I am an American citizen and NO, I. DO NOT LIKE THIS. He must be held to account. If those that want this are honest with themselves and do want this, I say move to Russia. Because that is what we have become if he is elected again and even if not elected, but the court makes a ruling for such insane things as full immunity of the presidency. They are shameful for considering it.
Absolute immunity for crimes doesn't fit with democratic gov't.
This is insane.
Yup.
Thank you Mr. Meacham for bringing some sanity.
My sentiment as well; there is no way this is normal.🤦🏿♂️
It's not about who still votes for Treasonous Trump; it's about accountability.

When he is arrested this time, please take his weight because that would humiliate him bigly. The prosecution should keep calling him the "former president" because that will infuriate him.
It's also true. He is the former president.
Vote Biden/Blue. Save reproductive healthcare/IVF/birth control.
100%. If we want a better government, we must be a better electorate!
lets the orange turd out! lol.
Blame cheif Supreme Court Mr. Roberts & made all of this true situations. Shameful.
If he gets back into power the supreme court will see it that he'll never willingly give it up when his term ends, and he'll have to be forcibly removed if not by real Americans than our allies. He needs to go to prison before we lose everything we've built, sweat, and bled thru over the last 248 years.
If Trump gets in y won’t have allies anymore
America is on its own if tRumpF turns you into the Fourth Reich.
That's a pretty pessimistic analysis Cap'n, and as a Brit I cannot understand how this could possibly be happening. The fact that Trump is willing to lead your country into a dictatorship should, under normal circumstances, have 99.9% of Americans calling for his imprisonment.
It seems we are living in interesting times, and I wish you good fortune.

Oh, I hope so. Will they stay away or will they vote party over country? I've seen people on Jordon Klepper. They know Trump is a horrible person and unfit to run the U.S. but they will still vote for him because they are Republican and he is the Republican candidate. It drives me crazy. They are voting against their own best interest if they do that.
Vote Biden/Blue until every MAGA/election denier is out of office.
❤❤❤
It's been simple from the early beginning: does America want a president or does it want a game show host? The former can turn the country into a world leading role, the latter into a Banana Republic.
The crimes fit! You must convict👍
Deplorables.
It's so perfectly appropriate and beautiful that Trump would even try to stiff paying his fixer. What a guy!
The judges want to answer the immunity case for posterity but they cannot even discuss the details of the current accusation?
John Meacham nailed it! This is truly a test for humanity. " Do we want a reality show, or do we want reality?" Breathless analysis
Meachum hit the nail on the head.

Remember, while Trump was put in office by the Electoral College, he never convinced the majority of us that we could trust him. In 2016, most of us voted for Clinton and, in 2020, most of us voted for Biden.
I would have paid good money-maybe even refinanced a home (full disclosure: I rent)-to have one judge ask this question: “If the president orders the suspension, perhaps billed as temporary, of the U.S. Supreme Court, is that an official act?” Under Trump’s lawyer’s argument, he would have to admit yes, it would be an official act. He could even order the military-he’s the Commander in Chief-to enforce that suspension. "Official act?” In other words, could the president unilaterally decide to erase the provision of three separate but equal branches of government and make the Executive the supreme branch of all government? Somebody please get that question to the Supreme Court Justices!
Any president can suspend our constitution and declare Martial law. In that time frame legal scholars have said Trump can do lots of damage to the countries legal system.
Blame all of this to cheif Supreme Court Mr. Roberts. He created not only the situations, but also allowed Mr. Thomas to participate. Media exposure this situation more in details& Roberts did in this process.
I cant imagine being willing to sleep with Donald Trump.

@@DennepeerRelaxation Irrelevant. The question was are people committed to voting Trump affected by any of this...yes or no.
@@CrazyAboutVinylRecords No. They are not hearing any of it. Fox news is lying about the entire case, and not reporting on any of it. Neither are any of the other right leaning outlets. They make up lies to blame Biden and make Trump look completely innocent, complete with fabricated quotes, etc. David Axelrod, Obama's chief campaign manager said it would not sway any voters, regardless of conviction status or what they said to pollsters. It made for good theater, but wouldn't change anything on the ground. If Biden can stop losing voters, get a better message, It would be a very close election, but that Biden was not connecting with the voters he needed to, the Gaza massacre/genocidal Israeli war was bleeding young voters who Trump was now winning, and Trump was the stronger candidate politically, but he was "crazy", his own worst enemy, and made mistakes. Without MI, Biden would have to win other states such as NV and other purple states, and that would be "a heavy lift". Axelrod said voters were dulled to all the legal misdeeds, the racism, the hatred, and bombshells, so Biden should concentrate on economic issues while Trump is screaming like a banshee each day in court.
The fact that if called for Jury Duty you could be attacked and all the other People in Justice System Families attacked that should make a sane Person think. Nothing about Jobs Healthcare Social Security Abortion Rights all about Revenge we need these to live. He will be ok will you? Vote Blue.
There were 2 parts to the agreement. First to suppress any stories that would hurt Trump's election hopes. The 2nd to amplify any stories that would hurt his political opponents. This corroborates Pecker's testimony.
Trumps going down!
Trump will go down in history as the biggest loser in American politics.

Nope. He has the most committed base and every last one of them will vote. Unless Democrat voters do the same, he'll be back in.
that is funny. if he tells his cult that everything is rigged, do not they feel that their votes are a waste of time?
His base is not the majority, the reason he won the first time was because of 2 things.
1. White voter rage because a black man was a 2 term president
2. The DNC nomination of Hillary over Bernie.
I believe Bernie would’ve won because he would’ve got the young votes which is what the DNC doesn’t really try to appeal to. Bernie would’ve squashed him. However, I do have a bad feeling that Hillary might’ve gotten cheated out of that 2016 election now that we see what they tried to do in AZ and MI and other states.
It's weird how every time he ask about certain people he gets amnesia or I have never knew em
Donald was paying attention they were talking about him. Oh my. What an embarrassment.
150 thousand is not enough for consorting with rump. should have been much more for the mushroom using her.
"Are the people committed to Trump affected by any of this?" Doesn't this question answer itself?
If you were prepared to vote for a reality TV star as president, why would any of this stuff matter to you? This is exactly the kind of thing you’d want. Trouble is, voting in an election shouldn’t be the same as voting for your favourite on Dancing With The Stars.

If approximately 40% of the American voters are Independents, applying the rule of law, here, is likely going to have an influence on the voting decisions of those people, not anyone on the left or right, Republican or Democrat. This is both parties' major interest in the outcome.
I think your 40% is off a bit. Independents are not in the majority.
@@rack9458 I suggest you Google a bit, see what you find. The number of Independents have steadily increased over the past 30 years, particularly amongst the younger generations who are disaffected, but still willing to vote and/or register. Some measure of Independents are simply not actually registering as Independents but act as such would vote, not really consistently along Re[/Dem party lines.
Again, why do you think courting the independent voters has become such a priority of the Rep/Dem parties. It's not only because that as the two sides become more galvanized, but also because the "middle" unaligned voters are increasing.
Remember when the "party of total immunity from the law" used to call themselves the "party of law and order?"
