Former President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference at Trump Tower on May 31, 2024, in New York. A day after a New York jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony charges, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee addressed the conviction. On Thursday, history was made: An ex-president of the United States was found guilty, by a 12-person jury of his peers, on all 34 counts alleged against him, thus making him the first such office holder to become a convicted felon.
In Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial, it was disgracefully clear that the judge was relentlessly accommodating to the prosecution and smothering to the defense.And all to what end? I think any fair-minded American knows the answer to that. I add that I wonder why they thought this was necessary.On Thursday, former President Donald J. Trump was convicted, and the U.S. went from a republic to a banana republic in one fell swoop. Just like Venezuela, Cuba and El Salvador.
Does he understand that as a rich white man, he will never be stopped for a traffic violation or be the victim of police harassment and, for many years, he was given the benefit of the doubt in a long list of lawsuits? The defendant was accused of 34 felony counts. He is also facing more serious felony charges based on allegations he mishandled classified government documents. He is also facing more serious felony counts for allegedly trying to interfere with the 2020 election results in Georgia. He is also facing more serious felony counts for allegedly trying to interfere with the election certification in Washington.
I would ask his supporters to reread this history and ask themselves if this is the person who best personifies their values. Especially when he seems to have abandoned most of the basic ideals of the Ronald Reagan Republican Party.Prison time is appropriate
