With irony so thick you could serve it at a New York deli, Attorney General Letitia James made headlines by helping Donald Trump achieve the unthinkable—another victory lap around the White House. Despite her stern declarations about “no compromise on principles” and her alleged pursuit of justice, every time she tried to put the legal squeeze on Trump, she may as well have been sending him campaign donations. Now, in true Trumpian fashion, he’s sending her a fruit basket as a token of appreciation. You couldn’t make this up if you tried.

From the moment James launched her high-stakes crusade against Trump, it was like a scene straight out of a Hollywood satire. The plan? Unleash a barrage of charges that would tarnish Trump’s name forever, rally the “Never Trumpers,” and perhaps even knock him out of contention. The result? Trump’s poll numbers skyrocketed. It was as if every subpoena was a secret endorsement, and every press conference only reminded Americans that, for once, Trump might actually be the underdog.
In a classic twist of fate, what James and her political playbook had framed as a “necessary act of accountability” turned Trump into a symbol of the little guy getting bullied by “the Man.” Middle America watched with dropped jaws as the legal hits kept coming, and they wondered, “If they can do this to a former president, who’s next? Us?” Suddenly, Trump became America’s most relatable billionaire, and Letitia James unwittingly became his PR powerhouse.

To say that Letitia James had an uncanny ability to boost Trump’s polling numbers would be an understatement. With each indictment and every soundbite, the numbers ticked higher, like a national applause meter that lit up every time she went after him. While she aimed to position herself as the moral compass of New York, voters everywhere else were watching the “James-Trump Show” and buying popcorn.
One commentator couldn’t hold back his astonishment: “Every time she opens her mouth, Trump gains another point!” It was like watching a political slapstick routine—the harder she pushed, the higher he soared. If Letitia James was truly a puppet for the Biden-Harris administration, it might be time for a new puppet master, because this ventriloquism act was doing nothing but making Trump’s victory lap look inevitable.
A Message to Letitia: Trump Says ‘Thank You’—With a Fruit Basket
Trump, never one to let a grudge go unbranded, decided to show his “appreciation” in the only way he knows how: big, bold, and a bit absurd. In a display of classic Trump showmanship, he sent Letitia James a lavish fruit basket. Why? Because nothing says “thanks for being my unintentional campaign sponsor” like a symbolic gift. Sources say the basket included pineapples, oranges, and perhaps even a few “plums” in a not-so-subtle jab at James’s political clout, or lack thereof.
But here’s the kicker: Trump’s “thank you” wasn’t just for show. In his latest Truth Social post, he couldn’t resist a bit of razzle-dazzle: “Congratulations, Letitia! You may be trying to bring me down, but you’ve just handed me the White House. Again! Huge thanks to Biden, Harris, and everyone who made this possible!” Rumor has it, he’s even considering a thank-you rally in New York—complete with a golden fruit basket on display.
Frank Luntz: “They’re Just Making Him Stronger”
Political analyst Frank Luntz had one word for the opposition’s strategy: “Pathetic.” Luntz remarked on the seeming incompetence of Trump’s opponents, shaking his head in disbelief. “You’re going to create the greatest victimhood narrative of 2024, and guess what? It’s going to elect Donald Trump,” he said, almost out of breath from laughter. It’s a little like watching someone slip on a banana peel, only to have the person get up and insist on slipping again.
“It’s amazing,” Luntz continued, chuckling, “The more they try to tear him down, the more they prove every single thing he’s saying on the campaign trail.” With every legal blow they’ve dealt him, Trump’s position has only solidified. Meanwhile, Luntz pointed out, Trump critics across the country are scratching their heads, wondering how they’ve managed to run a campaign so misguided that it almost qualifies as performance art.
The Ultimate Punchline: The Puppet Who Played Herself
In the end, Letitia James may have intended to be the one who’d bring the hammer down on Trump. Instead, she’s become the punchline in his victory speech. Perhaps, somewhere in an office lit by the dim glow of a thousand unanswered subpoenas, Letitia James is wondering how it all went so spectacularly wrong. Or perhaps she’s preparing for her next anti-Trump press conference, blissfully unaware that every time she speaks, Trump’s numbers tick up like it’s a telethon for his reelection.
And while the Biden-Harris administration hoped she’d be their knight in shining armor, taking down Trump once and for all, it’s looking more like she’s their comedy relief—a character in the saga who’s fighting so hard to stop him that she’s practically handing him the keys to the White House. As for Trump? He’s just hoping she keeps talking. After all, he still has a few more fruit baskets left to send.
