The news of the jurors reaching a verdict in the Trump hush money trial and Judge declaring him guilty on all 34 counts is truly astonishing. It is a historic moment in American history, as Donald Trump becomes the first US President to be convicted of a felony. The swiftness of the verdict is particularly surprising, given the complexity of the case. It feels almost unreal to see Trump, a man who held the highest office in the country, convicted of such serious charges.
The implications of this verdict are significant. With a felony conviction, it raises questions about Trump’s future political ambitions.… Continue reading
Wow, Trump has been found guilty on all 34 felony counts in the hush money trial. It’s incredible to think that a former president, who was once the leader of our country, is now a convicted felon. The sentencing is set for July 11th, just four days before the Republican convention. The irony is almost too much to handle.
I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Trump to sit in that courtroom and hear the word “guilty” 34 times in a row. It’s a stark reminder that no one is above the law, no matter how powerful or wealthy they may be.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head and chuckle at the sheer absurdity of Trump’s meltdown as the hush-money jury convenes. The man who holds the highest office in the land, throwing tantrums and pointing fingers at everyone but himself, is a spectacle that is both entertaining and alarming. His claims of a “KANGAROO COURT” and a “CORRUPT AND CONFLICTED JUDGE” showcase a desperate attempt to deflect blame and paint himself as the victim.
What strikes me the most is Trump’s reliance on counsel defense, which he believes is the greatest case he’s ever seen. It speaks volumes about his privilege and entitlement, showing that he believes he is above the law and can manipulate it to his advantage.… Continue reading
Trump’s Defense Rests Case in Hush Money Trial Without Calling Trump as Witness
It comes as no surprise that Trump’s defense has decided to rest the case in the hush money trial without calling Trump as a witness. Despite his constant boasts and claims that he would testify on his own behalf, it seems that once again, the former president has failed to live up to his own bravado. The fact that Trump, who often presents himself as a strong and fearless leader, opted out of testifying in his own defense raises significant questions about his innocence and credibility.
One can’t help but recall the numerous times Trump complained about not being able to testify in court, only to now conveniently choose not to take the stand when given the opportunity.… Continue reading
As the news broke that Hope Hicks must testify in the hush money trial, the internet exploded with speculation and commentary. Many are questioning why she didn’t report the alleged crimes that she witnessed while working closely with former President Donald Trump. It is perplexing to think that she remained silent, allowing these scandals to unfold without intervention.
Her decision to decline comment for the article speaks volumes. It is evident that she is frustrated and angry about being called to testify, believing it to be a waste of time and money. This reluctance to speak up raises suspicions about her loyalty and integrity regarding the numerous controversies that plagued the Trump administration.… Continue reading
The latest development in the ongoing saga of Trump’s hush money trial has once again highlighted the sheer audacity of his lies and manipulations. The judge’s straightforward comment, “The gag order does not prohibit you from taking the stand, please let your attorney know,” cuts through the smoke and mirrors that Trump has been using to evade the truth and accountability.
It’s not surprising that Trump, in his typical fashion, has been spreading falsehoods about being restricted from testifying due to a gag order. This tactic of playing the victim and creating a false narrative of being silenced is a classic Trump move to manipulate his supporters and deflect attention from his own wrongdoing.… Continue reading
Twelve jurors have been selected for Donald Trump’s hush money trial, with the selection of alternates still ongoing. It’s interesting to see the process unfold, especially considering the high stakes involved in this case. As someone who has served as a juror before, I can understand the importance of ensuring a fair and unbiased jury to deliberate on such significant matters.
The idea of selecting alternates at the end of the arguments, as opposed to beforehand, is an intriguing approach. It certainly adds an element of uncertainty for the jurors, not knowing if they are “just an alternate” or part of the final deliberation group.… Continue reading
As I sit here reflecting on the recent news that the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s hush money trial has barred him from attending Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity, I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The fact that Trump won’t be able to play hooky from his trial to attend these arguments speaks volumes about the importance of accountability, even for someone who held the highest office in the land.
It’s clear that the judge’s decision to not allow Trump to be present at the Supreme Court arguments is a significant one. Despite Trump’s attempts to take time off from his trial, the judge has made it clear that the trial in New York is a big deal, and Trump is required to attend unless granted special permission.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and cynicism as I read about Trump’s latest antics in the hush money trial. The fact that he is blatantly violating rules and attempting to intimidate jurors without facing any real consequences just reinforces the idea that the legal system is a joke when it comes to the wealthy and powerful.
Every day, we hear about how Trump has crossed a line or touched the third rail, but time and time again, nothing happens. It’s like a never-ending cycle of empty threats and false hope. The man is seemingly untouchable, able to twist and manipulate the system to his advantage without any fear of true repercussions.… Continue reading
The recent news of prosecutors wanting Trump held in contempt of court for violating a gag order comes as no surprise to many who have been following the unfolding drama surrounding the former president’s hush money trial. It seems that Trump’s penchant for flouting rules and boundaries extends even to the legal system, where he has been accused of attacking witnesses and key figures in the case through social media posts. The willful disregard for the court’s orders is a brazen display of defiance that cannot go unaddressed.
Judge Juan Merchan’s warning to Trump about the consequences of not showing up for trial, including the possibility of arrest, highlights the seriousness of the situation.… Continue reading
