Donald Trump's current legal troubles are cutting to the core of who he is as a person, according to a former official from his administration. Former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor, who has claimed his home was targeted by a break-in shortly after he published a scathing "Anonymous" op-ed about Trump's presidency, appeared on
CNN on Sunday. The host asked Taylor about Monday, which he deemed "a nightmare day for Trump " because of a hearing likely to delve into the former president's private finances.

"I think you really can't overstate how much this is a nightmare for him," Taylor said. "I mean, folks that don't know the man might say it was impeachments or it was criminal investigations by the
FBI or any number of other things that he has experienced all these other cases he's going through on classified documents or hush money. But Omar, it's his money that he cares the most about." Taylor added that "Trump's entire identity is wrapped around this mirage of his business success." "And to have that openly taken from him is something that won't just be an actual hit to his lifestyle. It will be a big political hit internally and externally. It will hit the man's ego and it will be used against him. And you're already seeing
Joe Biden and his allies talk about a broke Donald Trump. It's something that really does resonate in a bad way with Donald Trump." Watch the video below or click the link.
Donald Trump intentionally called for violence on Jan. 6 and he's poised to do it again, according to a former
Republican lawmaker. Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh appeared on MSNBC's Ayman on Sunday. He was asked if it's possible that Trump is preparing his supporters for a scenario in which he loses the upcoming
election and seeks their help overturning it as he did in 2021. "Now he has a much longer lead way to prepare his base of his for a hostile takeover," the host suggested.

He wasn't indifferent toward it when it happened. He was gleeful. Trump purposely wanted there to be violence." Walsh added that the
American people "need to wrap their arms around that." "When Donald Trump would say months before the 2020 election that the only way I can lose is if it will be stolen that is a direct call to his supporters that if he loses, you need to get violent," he said. "You rightly pointed out he's doing the same thing now. Months before the election, he's telling his voters it will be stolen, that is the only way I can lose. He wants there to be violence, period."

Former Trump Organization Vice President Barbara Res appeared on CNN on Sunday, and was asked, from her experience working with Trump, what his mindset is like as he faces his first criminal trial and a bond deadline related to a massive fraud judgment. "How important is it for Trump to keep his image of being the successful and rich businessman? What do you think is going through his mind tonight ahead of this bond deadline?" the host asked.

"It is very important to him that he keep up this fantasy about him being the greatest businessman, and that's what he's concerned about now, actually." Res added that the election is also on Trump's mind, but that "he thinks he's going to win" that one. "He wants to keep that face, that public face," she added. Res later noted that Trump "really does not want to look like a loser, so to speak." Watch the video below or click the link here.

Social Media, not for being found liable for business fraud or
Sexual Assault, but because of a brag about his
golf trophies. Trump, who earlier in the day raged against
Fox News for its coverage of his civil fraud case, took to Truth Social to celebrate a purported golf victory. "It is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. I WON BOTH!" Trump claimed . ALSO READ: 11 ways Trump doesn't become president He continued: "A large and golfing talented membership, a GREAT and difficult course, made the play very exciting. The qualifying and match play was amazing. A large and distinguished group will be there tonight. Very exciting, thank you!!!" Columnist Molly Jong-Fast, @MollyJongFast, asked, "Do they just let him win everything lest he accuses the club of 'rigging?'" Journalist Aaron Rupar wrote, "get a load of this effin’ guy." A popular account by the name of Marlene Robertson, @marlene4719, said this: "So Trump is off to his golf club to accept two golf awards. And can you f------ believe he won both awards! He wouldn’t 'rig it' would he?" An account known as The Gardener, @hmcadena, chimed in as a means to debunk Trump's claims. "I’m a golfer and belong to a private golf course. 77 year old men don’t win The Club Senior Championship, much less win the Club Championship," he said Sunday. "Of course the only people that believe trump won these tournaments are the same fools that believe his lies about winning in 2020." Former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski also weighed in on Trump's post about golf. "Speaking of things that are rigged," he said on Sunday. CONTINUE READING Show less
