Donald Trump is now demanding that even more of his political enemies face prosecution, after spending the past week calling for investigations into Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In a completely deranged and fact-free post on Truth Social over the weekend, Trump demanded that Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey, and Beyonce all face prosecution for an alleged scheme by the Harris campaign to buy their endorsements, which never happened. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Donald Trump arrived in Scotland for the weekend on Friday, and apparently Saturday morning he woke up just off at the world, likely because he was greeted in Scotland by throngs of protestors telling him, quote, we hate you. And yeah, that's probably gonna get on anybody's nerves gonna make you feel unwelcome. So Trump woke up on Saturday just off at Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce, you know, not, not the protesters that told him, we hate you. Get out of our country. Uh, not the rest of the world. That also overwhelmingly hates the United States. Now because of Trump. Now he decided to take his anger out on Harris, Oprah and Beyonce, three women of color, because those are easy targets for Donald Trump, right? We know that he loves to go after non-white people, especially women. And that is exactly what he did by making absurdly false claims about the three people.
Oh, and he also threw in Al Sharpton. 'cause you know, you gotta have a black man in there too. But here is what Trump put on truth social Saturday morning, I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats after the presidential election and the fact that they admit to paying probably illegally $11 million to singer Beyonce for an endorsement. She never sang not one note and left the stage to a booing and angry audience. $3 million for expenses to Oprah, $600,000 to very low rated TV Anchor Al Sharpton, a total lightweight and others to be named for doing absolutely nothing. These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. You are not allowed to pay for an endorsement. It is totally illegal to do so. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them all? Hell would break out Kamala and all of those who received endorsement money broke the law.
They should all be prosecuted. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Alright, I, I don't even know where to begin with this little authoritarian tyrant here, but, uh, let's go ahead and begin with the obvious. Those numbers that you made up out of thin air are totally wrong here. Here's the real numbers, folks. Like he's just making $11 million, $6 million. No, not even close. Campaign finance. Finance records show Beyonce's production company, Parkwood Entertainment was paid $165,000 for her appearance at an October 26th rally. That's a standard fee. They're allowed to charge it. In fact, they're legally required to charge it. Campaign paid it, done and done. Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother, called the claim that her daughter was paid eight figures a lie. Records show also show that Oprah's production company, Harpo Productions, was given $1 million to put together a live stream Town hall in Michigan. Sharpton's National Action Network was paid $500,000
For get out the vote initiatives. So all of the money that these people were owed was paid. And these are all legitimate campaign expenses. They are not payments for endorsements. Trump, right off the bat is wrong. Secondly, he didn't say call for an investigation, he called for a prosecution. There is a world of difference between those two things. A prosecution is what happens after a lengthy fact finding investigation. Trump doesn't wanna do that 'cause he knows that any investigation will be over in about 10 minutes once they look at the records and say, Nope, this is legit.
