This was a sham show trial. The Kangaroo Court will never stand on appeal.
Americans deserve better than a sitting U.S. President weaponizing our justice system against a political opponent— all to win an election.
We must FIRE Joe Biden in November.
This is a dark day for America.
This entire trial has been a sham, and it is nothing more than political persecution. The only reason they prosecuted Donald Trump is because Democrats are terrified that he will win reelection.
This disgraceful decision is legally baseless and should be overturned promptly on appeal. Any judge with a modicum of integrity would recognize that this entire trial has been utterly fraudulent.
🚨🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump reacts to the Manhattan jury's guilty verdict:
"The real verdict will be November 5th by the people."
"The whole country is being rigged right now. This is being done by the Biden Administration in order to hurt or wound a political opponent."
"We'll fight to the end and we'll win...this is long from over."
My statement on President Trump trial verdict:
Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one.
The weaponization of our justice system has been a hallmark of the Biden Administration, and the decision today is further evidence that Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent and crush their political opponents.
The American people see this as lawfare, and they know it is wrong—and dangerous. President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict—and he WILL WIN!
The prosecutor is a politician who promised to nail Trump.
The judge’s daughter is a Democrat operative who literally *raised $$ from the trial* while her father presided over it.
The jury instructions said they didn’t have to agree on the crime to convict.
This will backfire.
