Former President Donald Trump said he was recently visited at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort by Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who was acquitted last week on all charges after fatally shooting two people and wounding a third during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer.
He called. He wanted to know if he could come over, say hello, because he was a fan," Trump said during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday night.
Trump said Rittenhouse, 18, had left Mar-a-Lago "a little while ago," and Hannity had earlier said that his interview with Trump took place on Monday. During the interview, Fox showed a picture of Rittenhouse posing with Trump.
"He came over with his mother. Really a nice young man. ... That was prosecutorial misconduct. He should have not have had to suffer through a trial for that. He was going to be dead," the former President said.
The comments were in line with ones Trump had made while in office.
A 12-juror panel deliberated more than 25 hours in the closely watched case, ultimately acquitting Rittenhouse on Friday of first-degree intentional homicide and four other felony charges in a verdict that cannot be appealed.
The two-week trial -- which captured America's attention and was in many ways emblematic of the divided nation -- featured testimony from more than 30 witnesses, including Rittenhouse himself, and video clips from the night of the shootings during unrest sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man. The verdict opened a fresh debate over state laws on self-defense and the concept of vigilantism.
The politicization of the case comes amid an already tense political environment ahead of the 2022 elections and even the 2024 presidential race.
Trump, who appears to be preparing another run for the White House, has been praising Rittenhouse as the "poster boy" for the right to self-defense.
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, told reporters on Friday that he stood by the not-guilty verdict, saying the jury system of trial in the United States works and must be respected.
"Look, I stand by what the jury has concluded," he said. "The jury system works, and we have to abide by it." In a statement later that day Biden acknowledged that the verdict "will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included," but reiterated that "the jury has spoken."

Oh. Brother.
Geico MTG actually wants him to receive the medal and is spearheading the nomination. Then I should receive for something out of my past.
melania needed some fresh meat.
He's going to be riding the skank Marjorie Taylor-Greene ride soon.
See visual on your comment @3.
She figured that out the first time she shagged that gelatinous, wobbling mound of blubber.*
*The above comment was accompanied by an involuntary yuck-shimmy. My use of the term 'gelatinous' gave me a visual too real to comprehend.
*Otherwise known as revulsion
all the thumpers on her secret service detail are confined to missionary...
All she would get is cheap meat filler from that turd.
So, a 17yo with an illegally owned AR-15 drives across a state line to shoot protestors.
After killing 2 and wounding 1 He goes to trial and is found not guilty. HUH?????
The right wing now treats him like a hero and he goes to see Trump. HUH??????
We can expect a lot more of this.
It’s funny how much the left hangs its hat on this state line thing.
He lives 15 minutes from kenosha. If he lived five miles north I guess it would have been okay.
That distance keeps getting shorter and shorter. It was 20 minutes the other day.
The distance really makes no difference though. Just another deflection
Of course it makes no difference, which is why it’s so funny the “state line” filler is added to each condemnation of rittenhouse.
it’s a running joke.
Amongst the humorless I guess.
Otherwise, whatever . . .
Like I've been saying all along - fine young republican. Already has two kills on his resume.
Wish I could be a fly on the wall when the civil suits start rolling his way. The smirk on his face will be a thing of the past, and so will the relationship with his new best buddy, Trump.
That is going to be a two way street. Guess we'll have to see which civil suits hold. Personally I think Rittenhouse, being acquitted will win anything the victims families may throw and if Sandmann won his defamation suits, Rittenhouse will have a damn good chance. JMHO. Unfortunate as it may be for some
No worries - the gqp/gop/republicans/alleged conservatives and their idiot supporters will fund him.
The fat little killer pig doesn't stand a chance against the civil suits.
But again I'm sure his brain dead supporters will continue to fund/support/enable him.
So, you're saying that just because a 12 person jury found Kyle NOT GUILTY, of ALL CHARGES, you can start casting aspirations on how "bad" he is??
C'mon SMAAB.
Aw Sis, you know as well as I do that the Justifiable Homicide verdict pretty much eliminates all civil actions that can be brought... They might be able to sue the jurisdictions that allowed the riots to go on on the basis of willful negligence but as far as Kyle, they can't touch him... he was found innocent by a jury in a court of competent jurisdiction, which means that the judgment is valid in every court in the land... It is inviolate... No civil lawsuit will ever get past discovery, just like what happened with Zimmerman and his innocent verdict the US attorney under Obama refused to file civil rights charges, you know why?... They have to prove racial intent.... Zimmerman's innocent verdict destroyed any chance to prove intent...
Same thing will come of any attempted fed civil rights charges against Kyle...
That's the law.... in a way yes it does say that the law protects innocent people from race hate, both ways... and if Kyle gets anything from the politicians for expressing their opinions personally of him well they are the fools.. but what really hurts for most of them the government will be paying those settlements, which means they will be debited against taxes... A politician opens his mouth with hate, the people pay for it... Ain't it nice living in a free country where the people pay for their government playing the race hate card? we pay on the streets and pay in the courts for the government refusing to do their jobs...
Is that what Democrats stand for today?
WTF?
Consider the source.
You may need to rewrite your post, as apparently it is too deep for all to grasp.
Nah, they get it, they just cant escape the truth of it...
What truth?
I wonder why some keep pretending they can't understand it then?
Just blanket denial that the post exists and is true?
God, progressives will hang onto the Rittenhouse verdict like a starving dog with a T-Bone steak, just like the Zimmerman case which some STILL haven't ever got over yet.
gee, usually they disappear and become placeholders...
Oy.
I love you too sis... (but you can practice your Jake & Elwood technique in anticipation if you like)
Yep, just stay out of certain groups and surprise, surprise, surprise....alot more posts are left standing.
Its about as 'deep' as a puddle
One word rebuttal: OJSimpson.
In addition, if that Sandman kid was throwing a smirk up close enough for the two of you to count nostril hairs, I bet you $50 you would have an aggressive shove with his name on it.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for your comment.
Or inane posters........................
You're welcome!!
You're welcome!!
Nah, civil court is way different from criminal court, that kid is going to get his ass pillaged.
Oj was acquitted in criminal court but got completely owned in civil court, I am 99% sure it’ll be the same for Rittenhouse.
I know many progressives don't understand self defense, but OJ never claimed self defense, there was no video, and really no other credible suspect.
In the Rittenhouse case, you have video and eyewitnesses, PLUS a court aquittal on all charges. The families of those who attacked Rittenhouse won't get a thin dime, and nor do they deserve a penny!
He will probably call OJ for tips on how to avoid paying, something that OJ made an art form.
What nailed OJ was that in a civil suit trial, evidence can be presented that was not allowed in a criminal trial. Mommy should also be included in the civil suits as she provided the weapon and drove her precious baby to his destination.
Did you watch the trial? They proved in court that Mommy DID not provide him the weapon... and unless they can prove that it was a big conspiracy in which his momma was involved in, establishing intent, driving him to Kenosha, is not any issue to lay a claim against...
How he got there and how he obtained the weapon he used to defend himself is already established as a matter of law, there is no amount of "Other" evidence can change that.. Any claim of such will never make it past discovery... Why? cause the establishing it as proof for the jury to decide in the trial establishes it as the facts of the case.... No court of competent jurisdiction will allow it as a matter of law... Any civil claim against the mother will be dismissed for cause...
You probably need to read up on Civil Procedure and Rules of Evidence before stating opinions on the law...
How did that work for OJ? He was also found "not guilty", but then lost in a civil wrongful death suit.
I'll explain why... The evidence against OJ was entered and proven at trial, just because he was found "Not Guilty" by the jury does not mean that evidence could not be used against him in another trial... If fact, because it was established as fact in a court of competent jurisdiction it was absolutely admissible as the basic facts of the case against OJ...
In the case of Rittenhouse, the facts are ALSO established as fact in a court of competent jurisdiction, which means they are the facts of the case and are absolutely admissible... Problem is the established facts showed OJ as the person responsible for the murders, the only possible person... The admissible facts in the Rittenhouse trial show him as defending himself...
Look up court of competent jurisdiction and res judicata. The facts established at trial are facts that can no longer be disputed.... Anywhere in the nation... Doesn't matter what the actual outcome of the criminal trial was... A criminal jury can exonerate an admitted murder if they so choose... And the jury's decision is final, he's a free man... But, the admission of the murder will surly be entered into evidence in the civil damages trial established as a fact that can no longer be disputed...
The facts of the Rittenhouse case clearly show him defending himself from those attacking him, the law has established such at trial, the jury confirmed it...
Kyle Rittenhouse will not lose a penny in a civil damages suit, any attempt will never get past discovery... Just like Zimmerman....
You really need to understand the differences in the cases before attempting to compare them. In OJ's case, no self defense ever claimed or proven.
In Zimmerman's and Rittenhouse's cases, self defense proven in a court of law. No recovery for the dead folks' families in self defense cases, as their loved ones caused their own deaths.
The people that fat little pig Rittenhouse killed did not cause their own deaths.
Their own actions led to their deaths. I don't feel anything but pity for some folks so stupid as to attack a man with a gun.
Bet they learned their lesson, though!
Unlike in the criminal trial, any previous bad acts will be put into evidence.
Everyone keeps assuming that the families of those killed will find an attorney to sue someone without any money to speak of, all on a contingency basis, which is doubtful at best, especially in the light of a successful self defense case.
Just like most thugs, killer Rittenhouse shot them dead so there was no way that they could deny that the killer Rittenhouse shot them with no provocation whatsoever. The way of the alleged conservative/republicans - kill first so they can't answer any questions.
The killer thug Rittenhouse is no man. He's a killer thug/republican in training.
He's a big turd among even bigger turds - the alleged conservatives/republicans.

For those of us who watched the trial, read about the trial, saw video evidence, etc., etc., we saw no provocation on Rittenhouse's part.
The idiots who attacked him, however, DID provoke him into having to defend himself, which he did most successfully! Ask the victim that survived!
The turd killer Rittenhouse didn't defend himself - he just shot someone who tried to stop him from killing someone else - after he shot the first person for no reason whatsoever.
But they can dream...........................
You keep arguing yourself long enough and you may win!
We shouldn't encourage pipe dreams, Jim!
For those of us who watched the trial, read about the trial, saw video evidence, etc., etc., we saw no provocation on Rittenhouse's part.
Even the prosecution's STAR witness declared that he ONLY got shot AFTER he pointed his gun at Rittenhouse. Kind of hard to be informed about the case and just completely ignore all evidence. I don't see how it is even possible.
I see my fan club still hangs on my every word.
A rather strange response to this post:
Damn shame when defending yourself is frowned upon [deleted]
My fans seem to have nothing better to do than follow me around from post to post.

Unfortunately no, in a wrongful death suit, the instances and acts that caused the death are the only evidence that can be admitted, and that by the rules of evidence will be limited to the evidence entered and ruled as admissible fact at the criminal trial.... no allowance for prior bad acts just like the criminal trial.... the reason for that, is a jury can award damages because they do not like the guy, not because he did anything wrong...
Prior bad acts are out... Sorry..
Really need to brush up on the rules of evidence and civil procedure...
3rd person was not attacking him. 1st had a gun (just like Rittenhouse did), 2nd had a skateboard. What weapon did the 3rd have?
Because he claimed that he wasn't the one who killed them, and the jury agreed.
But the civil trial took the same evidence and decided that it would take a complete idiot to believe OJ, and found him liable.
yes because when a case is handed over to the jury, THEY and only THEY are the final arbiters of fact, they can use any and all the evidence to decide the case or they can completely throw it all out and not consider a single syllable of it... the trial only established what the evidence actually is factually and once that is decided it is res judicata unless you can prove it is incorrect on it's face, by the time a judge is ruling on evidence it has been rolled, folded, spindled and mutilated in every way imaginable... Very rarely is evidence thrown out cause it is facially wrong once ruled upon as admissible...
The jury in the OJ criminal trial ignored the evidence and ruled in a different way from the facts of the case... If it wasn't OJ then the criminal trial would have come out differently...
That's entirely within the purview of the jury, that's why they are there... Any other defendant with the evidence presented at trial would be in prison for the rest of his life...
Johnnie managed to pull of a very difficult legal strategy, Jury Nullification... OJ was damn lucky...
So you admit my statement is true. Good!
Look, I get that self-defense is a hard thing for some to fathom, and that some don't know that self-defense will be a wonderful claim to make against a potential lawsuit, if they can even find a lawyer dumb enough to take the case on for free.
I don't believe a jury would award a penny to relatives of those dumbasses who attacked Rittenhouse, but a trial would be a comedy well worth watching.
3rd person was the one that lit the fire that Rittenhouse had extinguished, he was the one that ws off his meds and threatened Kyle with taking his gun away from him and using it on him... that is what the video clearly shows when he caught up to Rittenhouse he grabbed the rifle and yanked it, with a great likelihood of causing it to discharge.... Personally it is my belief that he successfully shot himself... By his own actions... You NEVER NEVER yank a gun ANY gun towards you when someone has his finger on the trigger... if he hadn't chased Kyle with the intent to take away his gun and use it on him, he wouldn't be dead....
He made a very stupid decision and it cost him his life...
So then you would agree that the BLACK dude who ran down over 50 people, killing 6 of them, is an outstanding democrat.
Thank you for your comment.
Ignore the dog whistlr
Three serial killers and a family annihilator. Good choices.
I don't remember Manson claiming self defense. Nor the other three as the meme claims. Weird.
All them served time also. [deleted]
Seems like a false equivalency to me.
But, really, what else do they have except lies?
Not much or nothing…
No, that's all you have XX, plus projection, deflection, and denial.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for your comment.
It's a freaking meme. But thank you for your comment anyway.
Thank you for your comment.
The point is that KR claiming self defense was as believable as if all four had tried to claim the same.
I suppose if you don't understand the concept of self defense.
It's thinking the meme makes a valid point is the joke, not the meme itself.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you Paula. You got it girl. Sister Mary got it too.
It takes intelligence and wit to get it so I'm not surprised at those who didn't get it.
Well, no fucking shit.
You are welcome!
I love this man! Stephen that is.
I'm sure many progressive liberals adore him, after all, he IS the source of much of their "news".
Thank you for your comment.
TRUTH/REALITY=LIBERAL
Now some dingleberry will come along and say some stupid shit to the contrary.
Said no one truthfully--EVER!!
My fan club never takes a day off
I can assure you there is no fan club of you.
[Deleted]
[Then expect name calling.]
My fan club hangs on my every word. They won't stop following me around from place to place!
And yet you still won't marry me.
You silly goose!
I guess Kyle and his mother just happened to be in the neighborhood of Palm Beach Florida as they make their victory tour.
Mr Frank bears a resemblance to the actor Benedict Cumberbach (sp).
A clear cut lie, please present ALL your mountains of evidence for such a ridiculous claim.
Better rittenhouse than Jacob Blake.
It's not like they're at the White House. Just two fat pigs/criminals/scumbags kissing each others' asses and sucking each others' . . . . . at Mar-A-Lardo.
I bet fat mommy gave trumpturd a BJ!
If Kyle Rittenhouse actually wanted to be a "healer' , he wouldnt go on Tucker Carlson and he most certainly wouldnt travel to Palm Beach Florida to photo op with Trump.
The absurdity of these actions from someone who says he wants everyone to get along leaps off the page.
Like you said before - it's Bizarro world with these trumpturd supporters.
[deleted]
absurdity of these actions from someone who says he wants everyone to get along leaps off the page.
So your version of how everyone should get along is by demonizing and isolating half the country.
What "liberal" (the other half) show or celebrity do you envision him and his mom visiting ?
By the way, I thought Trump wasnt a thing anymore. Dont we hear every day how only the left is keeping Trump relevant?
Has President Biden invited him to the White House to apologize? That would be a move towards national reconciliation.
President Biden, like the 'left', have nothing to apologize to this killer for.
Why would an 18 year old want to visit the "washed up" Donald Trump? I would really like you to explain that.
an 18 year old want to visit the "washed up" Donald Trump? I would really like you to explain that.
You can't imagine why an 18 year old would visit a former President? When you were 18, would you turn down an invitation from a President?
He is a former President of the United States and it would be considered an honor in most circles not occupied with SEVERE TDS tendencies.
So the young republican didn't call trumpturd? It was one of his staff at Mar-A-Lardo?
A Donald Trump? Of course.
Is Kyle Rittenhouse unaware that Trump tried to steal the last election? Maybe so, but I doubt it. Unless of course his mom has Fox News on in the house 24/7.
I wouldn't consider it an honor to visit that big fat steaming pile of shit. No one in their right mind would.
We also know what TDS stands for - Trumpturd D... Suckers
Utterly ridiculous.
Look - two turds!
Most people aren't poisoned by partisanship. So meeting with a President is not something they would turn down.
And I'm sure it doesn't hurt that Trump was attacked and called a liar by the media for telling obvious truths about his case while Joe Biden lied and smeared him as a racist.
I can't believe this bothers you and you are okay with Biden doing a photo op with the family of the sex offender Jacob Blake, who by attacking a cop with a knife set off this whole chain of events.
Never happen.
His puppet-masters would never allow it.
Look, Donald Trump wanted to and planned to steal the last election. This is not really in serious dispute anymore. On the morning of Jan 6, at his big rally, Trump was still urging Mike pence to "do the right thing" a few hours later. According to the plan , the right thing was to declare Donald Trump the winner of the election.
NO ONE should want to visit such a person. Of course the lackeys and lickspittles do, but an 18 year old "innocent" kid? lol.
Those 'tendencies' appear to be morphing into severe BDS. It's a reversal of Darwinian fortunes, survival of the unfittest.
Trumpturd was never attacked. Trumpturd has never told the truth.
NO ONE in their right mind would or should want to visit that steaming pile of shit.
Uhhh - 'scuse me John, but you're innocent until PROVEN guilty. So far, the Dems/Libs haven't proven crap 'bout 1/6 just like they haven't proven Kyle was guilty regardless of what the court/juror's said.
But - you have just proven that you are the largest Trump lover that anyone has ever seen. CONSTANT postings of your favorite person - LAVISH accolades of how much you admire and respect him - all hidden with your oh, so subtle, tirades that just can't hide your admiration of the man and your wish to be more like him.
Wow - what an open admission that is - thanks.
PROJECTION
Nothing to apologize for except the lies they told and CONTINUE to tell about him, of course.
PROJECTION
Wait----you are calling your very own post which consisted of all of one word--"PROJECTION" --a projection also!
Perfect description!
The Eastman memo is proven.
Trumps approval of the Eastman memo is proven.
And?? Just meant he liked it. Doesn't say ANYONE implemented it. Give it a fucking rest for once.
Define "projection". You're using it wrong
If only that were possible.
Alas................no.
It was a legal argument that was never attempted. It's evidence of nothing but wasted legal fees.
Two hours before the insurrection Trump gave a speech in which he mentioned both Trump and the Eastman plan, as in he wished Pence would follow it.
Wish in one hand and shit in the other. He was grasping at straws as there was no FUCKING way it was gonna happen John. And you'd damned well better know it. If you don't, you are practically wishing it had.
Again, give it up for fuck's sake.
You would think so but there sure seems to be a lot of pearl clutching going on over it.
Funny shit is it not?
It is slightly entertaining
Check out a dictionary.
He made mommy wear an Ivanka mask.
the fuck he doesn't.
Another member of my fan club is back.
Why would anyone in their right mind would consider it an honor to get an invitation from a steaming pile of shit?
Whether or not it was "gonna happen" is immaterial. The president of the United States wanted to overthrow the US government and had a plan to try and do so.
URP!
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for your comment.
If I had still been in the Army when Trump was president and did something that got me the CMOH, I would have turned it down. There is no way I would allow a draft dodger to present me with it.
I kinda seriously doubt that.
That's so arrogant
Another pile of steaming shit.
WTF would want the honor from a dishonorable asshat.
So he just happened to have donald's phone number and called him up...
Translation : One of Trump's assistants called Rittenhouse's mother and invited them.
Donald can't tell the truth for shit.
Nor his supporters/enablers.
The invitation was simply a photo op for the magats. Either that or Trump needs a new caddy.
Both?
Yep
His so called "victims" were criminal scum....sad to see they have supporters/enablers here aboouts.
Jacob Blake's actions resulted in his getting shot. The shooting was justified
Did he know that at the time? Did you?
Since nobody knew of their past at the time, this is one of the most ridiculous lines of defense I have heard.
Which no one knew including this killer turd fat pig Rittenhouse.
Rittenhouse said he supports BLM. That must be making a few people on here choke.
hat must be making a few people on here choke.
I would think so. Considering their bigotry led them to smear a 17 year old as a white supremacist.
He probably thinks BLM stands for Black Lives..MEH.
.Black lives matter don't even think black lives matter
Unless it fits a liberal narrative that involves looting and burning.
Pay no attention to the dog whistles.
You hearing dog whistles again?
Why is it only far leftists hear dog whistles?
One of the members of my fan club is back.
because they imagine so many things which are not true?
Reagan was and still is right about what they "know".
The only people who hear racist dog whistles are racists.
Some on here don't understand the difference between fan club and being ridiculed.
When leftists mention dog whistles, they only mean racist ones. That's why it is understood only THEY hear them. Anytime looting and rioting are in order, whistles are sent out throughout the country......and they react in earnest.
It's a pavlovian response I tell ya, you know the whole salivating, drooling and dripping from the mouth thing....
So are you saying when a pair of sneakers are dangled in front of a leftist/liberal, you can damn well bet a Foot Locker is going to be looted?
Wanna guess what happened to 19.2.8??
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for your comment.
Them being on ignore, I don't hear the dogs whistle.
I see my fan club was talking about me - have been talking about me for days - I told you they hang on my every word!
Now my fan club is talking about me.
See how they hang on my every word and follow me around?
Sooo gay. Why are people trying so hard to blow him? His life’s only accomplishment is not being convicted of a double homicide, and for some reason some seem hellbent on making him out to be some kind of hero. Fuck that kid.
A hero is a sandwich. In that little turd's case, it is all bologna.
I just LOVE how a certain group here on NT bitch whine and complain that Trump needs to just go away and claim that Trump is trying to stay relevant. Then this very same group here on NT that bitch whine and complain that Trump needs to just go away and claim that Trump is trying to stay relevant seed everything they can about him.
Trump wants to have a nationally televised debate between himself and whoever on the subject of the "stolen" election.
Does that sound like someone who is trying to fade away?
Sounds like something right up your alley.
Imagine it---a chance to release all the venom for Trump face to face!
It would. You do realize you are one of those I referenced in my statement. [deleted]
