Easter Week 2023 will mark Trump’s really bad week to date
* Editor’s note: Last week was a very bad week for Trump. The former President was indicted, is out on bail, and can not leave the country without the court’s permission. For once, Trump is no longer in 100% control of his life. If he keeps his threatening social media tirades going, he could soon learn he could have additional charges, including and not limited to inciting violence!
And with the E.J. Carroll defamation case starting later this month, Trump could be a convicted rapist by the end of May!
