Monday was a tough day for liberals. In the wave of wailings over a New York appeals court ruling that reduced Donald Trump's bond from $454 million to $175 million, few were more plaintive than the meltdown emanating from the author of Taking Down Trump. Tristan Snell is a former assistant Attorney General of New York and MSNBC analyst. It was so bad that it seemed as if another type of analyst would be needed to get him over the emotional toll the appeals court decision handed him.
Contrast the wailing Snell on MSNBC below to the smug, smirking Snell who back in January was already gloating in anticipation over the financial strain that Judge Arthur Engoron imposed upon Trump in the infamous victimless fraud trial.

Honestly, this is so infuriating I don’t even know what to do. I don’t even know if I care what the process is that these judges are arriving at. Whatever it is, it’s flawed. I can tell you that much. David put it well. This is a different process for this person. We have decided that he gets his own private court of justice. He has a private plane. He has private clubs that he lives in. He basically has fashioned himself his own private militia to try to take over the Capitol. Now he’s getting his own private system of justice. This is an absolute travesty.
His own private system of justice? Snell somehow can't see an entire justice system politically weaponized against Trump with multiple trials in order to use lawfare, rather than the ballot box, to keep him from returning to the White House.
Snell followed up his MSNBC meltdown with a flurry of entertaining X (which everybody will forever still call "Twitter") meltdowns:
There’s a good chance that $175 million is still too much for Trump to come up with

He probably doesn’t have the cash (despite what he says) — and he’s too much of a credit risk for that big of a bond
Watch him ask for more time or for the amount to be lowered even more
We should just build Trump his own courthouse now — a cupcake court.

Shaped like a giant orange cupcake. Filled with his own cupcake judges handing down cupcake decisions since His Cupcakeness is apparently already above the law.
BREAKING: NY’s justice system

Appellate judges hand Trump a gift, cut bond down to $175 million, give him 10 extra days
Imagine a basketball team down by 40 points, and with 1:00 left in the game, refs give the losing team 5 more minutes — and lower the hoop from 10ft to 6ft
Donald Trump has a private jet.

Donald Trump lives in private clubs.
Donald Trump assembled a private militia to attack the Capitol.
Now he gets his own private system of justice — available to him alone.
NO ONE ELSE would get the special treatment he gets.
NO ONE should.
Perhaps poor Tristan Snell should change the title of his book to "Taken Down By Trump."
