Donald Trump Found Guilty on All 34 Felony Counts!
The former president and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee has been found guilty of all 34 counts in his Manhattan trial, making him the first American president to become a felon.
Surprisingly, there are no legal obstacles to running for president as a convicted felon or even from behind bars. In fact, the devout socialist Eugene V. Debs received nearly a million votes while in prison a century ago when running for president as a convict.
The United States Constitution doesn’t forbid a convicted felon for running for president, although it probably should. If there are enough crooks in the U.S., what’s to stop them from running the country?
It’s a sad day in America when so many believed Donald J. Trump was a decent enough person to actually be re-elected President of the United States. Slowly, but surely, that illusion is fading away as America’s legal system is exposing this man for who he really is.
Still, some are already claiming that Trump was simply being targeted. That’s entirely true. That’s how prosecutors bring cases against criminals. They ‘target’ them. The prosecution didn’t have a fling with a porn star. Trump did. The prosecution didn’t pay her $130,000 to keep quiet about it so the story wouldn’t come out and hurt his 2016 election chances. Trump did. The prosecution didn’t record that expense as ‘legal fees’ he could later right-off on his taxes and effectively hide the ‘hush money’ payment. Trump did. So was Trump targeted? Sure. Just like any other criminal would be.
But what happens to other criminals doesn’t mean much to Donald Trump. He was born into privilege and believes that is his right. After the verdict, he said: “I’m a very innocent man, and it’s OK, I’m fighting for our country. I’m fighting for our constitution. Our whole country is being rigged now.” Like any other spoiled brat, Trump insists that if things don’t go his way, what he believes he is entitled to, then it must be ‘rigged’. At least that’s what he wants you to believe. As long as he can convince you of that, he’ll never have to admit defeat.
