When Donald Trump steps before a judge to be arraigned in a New York courtroom on Tuesday, it'll be a reckoning for a man long nicknamed “Teflon Don,” who until now has managed to skirt serious legal jeopardy despite 40 years of legal scrutiny.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign stop in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Dec. 29, 2015. When Trump steps before a judge next week to be arraigned in a New York courtroom, it will not only mark the first time a former U.S. president has faced criminal charges.

This is what happens when you stop being a Democrat and become a Republican the special treatment ends

For whatever reason crooked conman Trump has skated by and never really faced consequences for his dishonesty and grift. He now believes he is invincible and unaccountable. He must be stopped.

He should plead out to a misdemeanor leave New York in the past. It is revenge enough that they live in NYC.

It’s all BS.

How on earth can they even pretend to consider bail after he incited Jan 6 after loosing the 2020 election. Then spent the last 2+ years threatening death and destruction if they prosecute him. Kind of sounds like the whole reason criminals are denied bail.

So was thinking about the poor person who will have to do the Cavity check on Trump, then I thought they should get SpeakerMcCarthy to do it as he has had his head so far up Trumps ass he’s use to it. HouseDemocrats SenateDems HouseGOP SenateGOP billmaher BillyCrystal

Emerging journalists can be forgiven this time for not realizing that there was an actual 'Teflon Don'.

What happened to the bragging that trump ranted about wanting to be taken in handcuffs and do the perp walk?

Are you questioning the justice system over the last 20 years? Or maybe it’s because he played within rules? Couldn’t be that

Nah, he's invincible!

'Journalism '

Despite a lifetime of crime, you mean.

His hands look small

That's unbiased, isn't it?

He still is invincible. He could have easily avoided this but is choosing this route. Something wild is bound to happen

Hiden Biden is under Federal investigation for mishandling classified materials and documents, and also happens to be the sitting President of the United States

Thanks for your objective journalistic opinion.

Why do you purposefully mislead your followers? An arraignment IS NOT a moment of reckoning, it is purely were he enters a plea to the charges and bond, if any is required, is set. But go ahead and celebrate the event that finally solidifies him as a martyr!

Miss Micheal Cohen to fix it again huh eh Sure you do!! Been fixing for the last two decade. Should’ve treat him right dude. 😂🤣😂🤣

Every con man cons himself into prison sooner or later

Guess the teflon peeled and wore off! Sitting with my 🍿!

40 years of witch hunts.

This should alarm any sane person! 40 years trying and hush money was all they got! It's all fools day, enjoy it anywho.

And he's going to prison. The DA knows how high the bar is and has the receipts.

He’s getting arraigned?

So real journalism is dead and now you all are leftist Shills. Inocent until proven guilty doesn't exist unless you're a Democrat like Bill Clinton how many did he pay off.

Your bureaucrats rather rule over hell then serve in heaven.

I think they should put a gag order on him!

And what makes you think you leftist cowards and liars got him now, word is it will be thrown out.

No, it doesn't. John Gotti earned the 'Teflon Don' moniker *after* having been indicted and acquitted (more than once), so Trump only being indicted doesn't end his perceived invincibility.

Biden's next.

The AP is still a propaganda tool!

If Alvin was smart, he wouldn’t have used federal funding for his investigation. We are about to witness the biggest political gangbang of the century when he goes through with the prosecution. There’s no way Bragg walks away from this one with his license intact.

Oh wont you be surprised when he proves that obama and biden will be charged with treason.

Yeah, but there's the double standard of justice that you ignore, AP.

Good 👍

🤣 wow gangster names huh ? Hahahaahaha

Any cheerleading for Hillary’s reckoning? You have become a biased waste of time.

His mentor, the malicious unhuman Roy Cohn taught him well.

He has no idea what he is in for now.

I hope the judge imposes a gag order on him and his family

Finally, justice might catch up with the Teflon Don. Let's hope this marks the start of accountability for all, regardless of position. .

This will be a reckoning for every past and future President. This is more than just getting DJT. This is bad for the entire country and a forever stain.

Hardly. As the saying goes, 'You can indict a ham sandwich.' Let's let the legal matter run its course before libs start puffing out their chests.

This is only the beginning of his troubles....

Never voted for him hell I don't even like him. But I'm voting for him now. Idfc play games get got this is the UNITED STATES OF FUCKING AMERICA! NOT CHINA

Trump 2024!!!

'Trump has long denied that he had a sexual encounter with the porn actor known as Stormy Daniels ...' Does Stormy have pictures?

You sold your soul for a few schillings. Must really suck?

Why isn’t this going to be live-streamed?!?

What about HRC decades of skirting but she is ur beloved Saint

Maybe he was able to 'skirt' legal jeopardy because he didn't do anything wrong. You would think after 40 years of legal 'scrutiny' they would have found something by now. Also, I thought the Teflon Don was John Gotti.

Trump is the President we need and they know it. • Crushing Inflation • Sell off the strategic oil reserve. • Five days to shoot down a balloon? • Attacking our civil rights, one by one. These points are a few of many that the Biden administration is destroying our country.

Oh FFS. Is journalism really dead?

What cold cases might Trump's fingerprints and DNA solve?

In America, some real corporate crimes get away with money and perjury

He didn't skirt anything, he just didn't do anything wrong.

A cada lechón le llega su navidad

Problem is you’ve got so many people emotionally affected by him, they’re hellbent on bringing him down regardless of reality. Clouded judgement on their part

I’m considering this similar to a “lifetime achievement award” in acting. He’s been pulling this crap forever - always right on the edge of legal/illegal, moral/immoral. It’s like Capone getting convicted for evading taxes. Not the worst thing Trump has done, but can be proved…

He should have been in jail like 20 years ago

Thats because the law of gravity eventually caught up with trump. That law says that everything that goes up must come down & it just did with trump. It was bound to happen sooner or later! Let’s move on.

More like 50 years of legal scrutiny.

Y’all acting like he been convicted. He will not be then what u gonna do….besides cry?

Banana republic. Crashing economy. Tyrannical government. Journalism is dead. Thank you, Democrats

Long overdue

Lmao ok

AP continues to scrutinize Trump without scrutinizing the politicized attacks against Trump.

The AP is a joke.

So telling, because Trump never hid his crimes. Actually Trump takes ownership and defends his crimes; and it’s apparent that he does a great job .How many decades , wow!

When quoting DeSantis in this article should have noted that the indictment is sealed, he hasn't seen it.

Ahhh more trash from Associated Phonies.

Zombie Case

That's assuming he actually shows up.

Thank you

I thought you were news and not this biased. I was wrong!

His other nickname is “the creep who leers at naked preteen pageant girls”

About time this happened

The walls are closing in!

I wonder how well Teflon does in a microwave?

I stand with Trump now more than ever!

John Gotti was the original Teflon Don but he eventually went to prison. I think even the most ardent Trump supporters would have to admit that Gotti was a heck of a lot smarter than Trump.

Seems like political prosecution of an opponent.

If you hold on justice & truth will show up to defend integrity! 🇺🇸

This is Teflon Don

My support for Trump just grew 10 times stronger.

A 7 year political witch-hunt that is turning our country into a police state.

The worse embarrassment for him is that an immigrant judge will have his ass(ets) lol and a women got him indicted 😂🤣 cus his 🥜 was too greedy

Whooo hooooo

This country elevated a CRIMINAL to the highest seat this country has to offer. A trashy, tax evading, con man....who is a big phony. He would call into radio stations using his alias 'John Barron' to spread vonspiracy theories.

You forgot to put the word “Opinion” before this headline

UNDER MORE SCRUTINY THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT, TRUMP HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF ANY MALFEASANCE. NOR WILL HE NOW

I will be glad that the word 'PRECEDENT' will not apply from hereon. Thank God. There is Jan 6th, Georgia mess, Classified docs, Carroll rape accusation but none will be claimed precedent. Been there......

Which is better? (…or play along by sharing your own in the comments!😁)

So much irrational hatred for Trump. Makes no sense.

He’ll beat this easily. It’s a misdemeanour. I hate the guy, but if all the illegal shit he’s done this is what they’re going with? It will help his presidential aspirations, cost NY state millions and it will get tossed without him ever setting foot in a courtroom. Huge mistake.

Wow that’s why I will never vote again for any Democrats in power. This is out of control, brainwashing the voting . Disgusting 🤮

Only thing it proves is that a rogue prosecutor fulfilled his campaign promise he would find a crime and if not make one up to 'get Trump'. This is disgusting abuse of power and biased media outlets like AP are part of the problem. Meantime NYC has turned into a cesspool of crime

Will he keep his mouth shut? 😏

Do readers of Associated Press ever take notes on crazy implications like this article that somehow Donald Trump is going to be convicted of anything meaningful as a result of his arrest? They finally got the Teflon Don, say it ain’t so.

For what Clinton but only worse lol

Teflon Don was John Gotti, wtf?

TRUMP 2024

You people with Deranged Trump Syndrome are easily the most miserable lot of homo sapient who draw breath. Focus on family, your job, your church, something that doesn’t make you insufferable. There’s a world out there. If he gets the chair or walks

Yea no one calls him that

Got tired of exporting so now we are importing democracy from third world countries and how their governments deal with political opponents by jailing them on frivolous “legal” charges. 👏

I stand with Trump.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. It’s utterly pathetic how afraid of this man you people are

Seals it for 47. Nice work.

Finally, Soros found a puppet that’s willing to take the big swing he wants, even if it’s going to backfire spectacularly. Trump is a garbage human, but Helen Keller could see just how bad of a hack Bragg is.

This is what the third world looks like

Man I've never in once heard anyone refer to this man as 'Teflon Don'

Nope, no bias here at all…

Actually that was John Gotti who was nicknamed 'Teflon Don'.... He died in prison.

Lost me here, chief. How does an indictment change shit? It's just a formal accusation. Not a conviction.

So much narrative, so little time.

You wish.

There had better be cameras in that courtroom. I want to see every second of this.

40 years of crime and debauchery

His Casino was shut down for money laundering 6 months before he came down the escalator. If you didn't know Trump was a money launderer for the mafia since at least the 1990s, it's because you didn't WANT to know. Denial ain't just a river. CNN Morning_Joe mtaibbi billmaher

The trend will probably continue.
