Donald Trump held another rally this past weekend, and experts agree that this isn't a good look. Specifically, they are warning that his talking points about the indictments that came down last week could lead to even more legal trouble for him. Trump isn't trying to necessarily deny the charges, he's just saying they aren't a big deal - the same thing his children are now saying. This could backfire in serious ways, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Over the weekend. Donald Trump held yet another rally in the state of Florida. This time and experts are warning that this is really going to make things hard for the legal cases that could be coming against him specifically from the state of New York after last week's indictments, here's what's happening. And in fact, by the way, it's not just Trump at his rally, his kids are now going out there repeating the same message. And it's this no big deal. So the guy didn't pay some taxes on a few things they're going after him because it's some kind of political persecution in order to get to Donald Trump to harm the Trump family somehow. And it's all, no big deal folks. So rather than saying outright that no, none of this happened. It's all fake. They're out there trying to say, well, of course he did it, but yeah, I mean, it's, it's not that big of a deal.

It is a big deal. And you know, based on the available evidence, it does appear that he did it. And when you're out there knowing that you could be facing indictments yourself, knowing that your company was indicted for these things, trying to convince the public eyes, it's no big deal that kind of destroys any defense you may have, right? You're not going to be able to go to court later and be like, no, we plead not guilty because then the prosecution is going to just play a clip from your rally and be like, really? Because you just said here, it was no big deal that it was all just, you know, trumped up to get after you, but you didn't deny doing it. So that could be the legal problems that Donald Trump is facing. As a result of his rallies, he needs to understand something and his kids have to understand something really quick.

Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all. They do not have to publicly address these claims in any way whatsoever, but they're all with the exception of Ivanka doing that. Trump issued a statement. The day the indictments came down basically saying, oh, this is all hogwash. They're trying to get after me. And the best they could do is take down this good, hard working man who we love. So very much then of course he did the same thing at his rally. Trump Jr. Released a manic, I guess is the only way to describe it. 13 minute video rant, where he also talked about how great of a guy Weisselberg is and how it's ridiculous that not paying a few taxes here and there, you know, could, could possibly bring him down. Eric Trump went on Fox news, basically saying the same things you guys need to shut up. Look, I would love nothing more than to see all three of you walking down a hall, the same way Weisselberg was in handcuffs. But listen, just from a purely nonpartisan nonpolitical perspective, your lawyers need to be telling you to just shut

Your mouths. There is literally nothing that anyone, uh, any, any one of you could say right now, nothing, anyone of you could say, that's going to make any of this better. So just stop talking. That's what I don't get about this family. Whenever they get into a hole, rather than saying, Hey, maybe we ought to stop digging for a few minutes. Nope.
