Reacting to Donald Trump's continuous late-night tirades on Truth Social, as well as his ugly "Rot in hell" attack on special counsel Jack Smith on Christmas day, MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton said the ex-president's legal problems are getting to him.

Speaking with fellow MSNBC host Alex Witt on Saturday, Sharpton pointed out Trump shows all the signs of being "rattled" as of late.

With Witt pointing out that Sharpton has known Trump for years, she asked, "Rev, what do you make of all of this?"

"I think Donald Trump is more rattled than people think about the 91 felonies he is facing, the four cases, and civil suit," Sharpton began. "I think that he is showing publicly now that he is becoming even more unhinged, even though many of us didn't think it was possible."

"Because how do you randomly just do all of that," he continued, "unless there is some deep-seated middle-of-the-night anxiety that he is trying to act like a tough guy but he really has concerns?"

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning, former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks advised the Republican party to think twice about making Donald Trump their 2024 presidential nominee when there is a reasonable chance the Supreme Court could make him ineligible to serve should he win.


Speaking with fill-in host Charles Coleman Jr., the legal analyst said she feels the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that the former president should not be allowed to run for office based on the 14th Amendment is solid and that the Supreme Court would likely agree.

Having said that, she explained the GOP could be saddled with a candidate at the top of the ticket who would be barred from taking office if he should win in November.

"I just see this as a very clear case of fact and law, coming together, with no possible conclusion other than that he is not eligible to be on the ballot and he is not eligible to hold office," she told the MSNBC host. "So you might say he could be on the primary ballot because it's up to the states and the state political parties. but why put someone on the ballot who then could not be inaugurated, because he can't hold office?"

"That would be much worse to me, than taking him off the ballot, so that the people can choose from people who are qualified," she added.

'It seems to me that if you can bar someone who's not old enough or who is not a natural born citizen, or who hasn't lived in the United States long enough as a U.S. citizen, natural born, then you can also bar someone who doesn't meet the 14th Amendment, Section 3 qualification requirements," she later added.

Donald Trump's drive to round up as many GOP delegates as part of a legal strategy in his battle with U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan is unlikely to persuade her to go easy on him.

That is the opinion of a former prosecutor when asked if Trump is a guaranteed lock for the 2024 presidential nomination would that bolster his argument that his prosecution is politically motivated.

According to a report from the Messenger's Marc Caputo, the former president is frantically trying to add to his committed delegate total before his Washington, D.C., trial over alleged 2020 election interference begins as part of a wide-ranging defense strategy.

While special counsel Jack Smith is endeavoring to keep the former president and his legal team from pushing election interference conspiracies before the jury, Trump reportedly believes it will help him in the court of public opinion.

Caputo is reporting one Trump insider explaining, “The closer to the election this gets, the more pressure there is and the more people will see the politics. Judge Chutkan said she doesn’t care about Trump’s status as a candidate. This hasn’t worked. But if that trial date moves, will she be so steadfast in pursuit of a verdict and ignore the reality of an impending election? What does Jack Smith do?”

In a column for MSNBC, Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson pointed out that, in all of the challenges so far to Donald Trump's eligibility to be on the 2024 ballot, only twice has Section 3 of the 14th Amendment been taken into consideration.

And the former president is 0 for 2 in those cases.

The Supreme Court has the right and ability to not wade in on the disputes in multiple states considering banning Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot and they should take advantage of it.

That is the opinion of attorney Shan Wu in a column for the Daily Beast where he said the system is working as long as officials at the state level are adhering to the distinctive laws that are applicable in their respective states while also applying the 14th Amendment as it is written

In the middle of the night, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to issue a warning to his own party and then attack Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

After days of lashing out at prosecutors involved in his multiple criminal trials and posting screenshots of polls showing him beating his GOP opposition for the 2024 presidential nomination, the former president took his own party to task and worried that the influx of immigrants will hurt the Republican Party's prospects.

Pouncing on the border crisis, Trump claimed "Crazed Democrats" are allowing "millions and millions" of immigrants to flood the country — and then put the blame on Republican McConnell.

On Friday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) issued a veiled threat to states considering the disqualification of former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot.

"Maine, Colorado, and other states that might try to bureaucratically deny ballot access to any Republican nominee should remember the US House of Representatives is the ultimate arbiter of whether to certify electors from those states," Massie wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The nonprofit run by the Republican National Convention's host committee is reportedly having to use "finesse" to win over donors, according to a new report.

Milwaukee 2024 Host Committee chair Reince Priebus — both a former Republican National Committee chairman and a former chief of staff to then-President Donald Trump — told Politico that his pitch to donors is more economic in nature than political. He told the outlet that the organization is on track to raise a goal of $70 million for next July's nominating convention, and is doing so by selling donors on the economic benefits to Milwaukee for hosting the event.

Laura Loomer is threatening to leverage her "millions" of Republican acolytes to abstain from voting if Trump is scratched from the ballot and she's being pilloried by none other than convicted Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, who mocked her cache and called her "Loomer Tunes."

On Friday, the failed Florida candidate and conservative journalist posted her Trump-or-try-me ultimatum on Twitter/X.
