Hot off the press, folks! The federal appeals court has slapped President Donald Trump with a bombshell ruling, declaring that he ain’t getting a free pass from the federal government. This paves the way for Special Counsel Jack Smith to steamroll ahead with his January 6 case against the 45th president – that is, until Trump’s expected Supreme Court smackdown.
Yup, you heard it right. The court, in a whopping 57-page smackdown, basically said, “Hey, Trump may have been a big shot in the White House, but now he’s just plain old citizen Trump. No special treatment for you, Mr. Ex-President!” Talk about a gut punch for the former Commander in Chief!

And check this out – the three-judge panel from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia didn’t hold back. In their ruling, they were like, “We’ve weighed Trump’s so-called ‘executive immunity’ against the public interest, and sorry, buddy, but it’s game over.” Ouch! They even tossed in a sassy line about how Trump’s claim of immunity was about as solid as a chocolate teapot.
But hold on to your hats, folks, because this drama ain’t over yet. Yup, you guessed it – Trump’s taking this whole circus to the Big Show, aka the Supreme Court. And let’s not forget about Special Counsel Jack Smith itching to put Trump on trial faster than a greased lightning. It’s like a political rollercoaster, and the fun is just beginning!
And just when you thought things couldn’t get spicier, Trump’s 2024 campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, chimed in with a statement that could light a fire under a snowman. He basically dropped the mic and said, “If immunity isn’t granted to a President, every future President would get pinched by the other party as soon as they kick off their shoes in the Oval Office.” Dang, that’s like saying the whole “game of politics” would turn into a game of “Gotcha!” quicker than you can say “political mudslinging.”
Cheung wasn’t done, though. He bellied up to the mic and took a swing at Special Counsel Jack Smith, calling him “Deranged Jack Smith” and griping about how Smith’s prosecution of President Trump was about as unconstitutional as wearing socks with sandals. Shots fired, folks!
There you have it, folks – it’s an all-out political showdown. Stay tuned for more scoops as this wild ride unfolds!
