His trolling is getting even more ridiculous. I wonder when the left will quit falling for it.

It's a lot like the Liberty Mutual ad where the golfer wants the guy to ask Limu to quit digging up the putting greens with his beak... "I can ask him, but he won't."
There's no payoff for the GOP to try to change the guy's style, such as it is. He won't.
You might as well ask why the Democrats continued to try to cover up for Biden's inadequacy. No payoff for opposing it.
-
The Dems should treat it as what it is... ridiculous bullshit. "It's a stupid thing to say and he can't do it anyway. Now let's move on to important issues.". If you ignore a troll they usually quit trolling.

Newsom's response is funnier, and funnier still is right wingers pointing out that he's just copying Trump.

Pro tip: If you want to effectively deny having an enemies list, don’t publish it.
LOL Funny how people when given evidence about past things they said/did, still try and lie their way out of it.

Trump forces out federal prosecutor who says there’s not enough evidence to charge Letitia James with a crime.
-
A federal grand jury indicted former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday, approving charges for a top foe of the White House just days after President Trump called for his prosecution.
Comey was indicted on charges of making a false statement as well as another for obstruction of a congressional proceeding in connection with testimony he gave before the Senate in 2020.
-
The focus on Comey stems from his congressional testimony on Sept. 30, 2020, with the charges coming just days ahead of the five-year statute of limitations on such matters.
So the public command to Bondi to get going, was probably just theater from Trump. Both he and Bondi knew this was coming.
And even in that story we see that the grand jury is not a puppet of Trump, as they declined to indict on some of the charges.
It's possible, just possible, that Comey actual broke some laws.
-
I find it a bit weird that Trump is going after someone for being dishonest and obstructing a congressional procedure. My guess is there won't be enough evidence to prove Comey said anything under oath that was explicitly inaccurate, but I have no idea the burden of proof required for these things. Former President Sarkozy just went to jail for 5 years... maybe the French know something we don't.
