Tellingly, within hours of the judges&#8217; verdict, the Republican&#8217;s campaign website began redirecting visitors to a special fundraising page, presenting him as a &#8220;political prisoner.&#8221; However, the fundraising site went down a few minutes later due to the massive influx of followers on the WinRed donation platform. The site was down for about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The American people see clearly behind the mock trial of Joe Biden. &#8220;So many Americans decided to donate to President Trump&#8217;s campaign&#8221; that the dedicated website for it could not cope and &#8220;went down,&#8221; the group running the Republican campaign assured via X. The problem was later fixed and people continued to register on the platform money for the judicial and electoral battle fought by the former president of the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to his staff, he raised $34.8 million in a few hours, &#8220;nearly double the best day (for donations) on record.&#8221; On social media, the slogan &#8220;a day of national shame for American history&#8221; went viral from conservative voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, European right-wing leaders, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, came to his defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;President Trump has always put America first, respected the whole world and used that respect to build peace,&#8221; Mr Orban said on social platform X. He added that the American people &#8220;will make their verdict on him In November&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Viktor Orban, one of the American&#8217;s staunchest European allies, reaffirmed his support for Trump&#8217;s bid for the US presidency, having previously endorsed him since March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Italian Vice President Matteo Salvini also expressed his support for Donald Trump, offering &#8220;solidarity and full support&#8221; to the convicted former president. The Italian leader of the right-wing Lega party called Trump a &#8220;victim of judicial fraud&#8221; and accused the left of &#8220;weaponizing the judicial system.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Trump prepares for another presidential bid, the remarks underscore his continued support from prominent right-wing figures in Europe, despite his legal troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Trump Outbreak: The decision is unfair \u2013 Sick and fascists in the Biden gang<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former US President Donald Trump described the court&#8217;s decision against him as &#8220;very unfair&#8221;, while he spoke of US President Biden&#8217;s &#8220;gang&#8221; of &#8220;sick people&#8221; and &#8220;fascists&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Republican vowed to appeal &#8220;this fraud,&#8221; addressing a crowd of reporters and a handful of supporters gathered outside his skyscraper to hear him, a day after his historic sentencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He spoke with intensity without reading his statement, while also referring to immigration: &#8220;(immigrants) are coming from all over the world to our country and we have a president and a gang of fascists who don&#8217;t want to do anything about it &#8220;, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After six weeks of testimony in Manhattan criminal court, 12 jurors found him guilty of all 34 counts of paying former porn star Stormie Daniels in 2016 to buy her silence after she said they had a love affair many years earlier in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You saw what happened to some of the witnesses who were on our side, they literally crucified them.&#8221; If they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone,&#8221; he continued, to applause from his supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He finished his 33-minute statement without taking questions from reporters. &#8220;The true verdict will be issued on November 5, by the American people,&#8221; Donald Trump said yesterday, May 30, after the announcement of the jury&#8217;s decision. &#8220;I am a political prisoner,&#8221; he said afterward, appealing for donations to his election campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-10.png 760w, https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-10-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biden: Trump threatens our democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donald Trump &#8220;threatens our democracy&#8221;, the US president claimed in a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter). &#8220;First he challenged our electoral system. He then challenged our judicial system. And now you can stop him,&#8221; he added, referring his followers to a campaign fundraising website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What the verdict means for Donald Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The condemnation of Donald Trump &#8220;froze&#8221; even the Democrats. Because he came from a &#8220;blue&#8221; State, New York, where the judges could be considered to have acted with political motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court found Trump guilty of 34 felonies, each of which carries a prison sentence of 4 years, which raises questions in view of the upcoming elections for the new occupant of the White House. However, nothing is over\u2026 Trump will clearly appeal the verdict, a process that could take months or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump&#8217;s staff argued that he could get away with a guilty verdict &#8211; that a conviction in a case prosecuted by a Democrat in a &#8220;blue&#8221; state had already priced into his political base with the American public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For weeks, even as the trial and its boring details unfolded, polls showed her ahead. But a conviction throws Trump into completely uncharted territory, with at least some polls suggesting he could pay a price in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The verdict may matter at the margin (and margins may matter).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The verdict isn&#8217;t going to tell Americans anything they don&#8217;t already know about Trump.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Details of the case were widely reported before the trial even began.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In an increasingly polarized political environment, the number of truly undecided voters is small, and most Americans, according to polls, view the Stormy Daniels case as less serious than Trump&#8217;s other legal cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the election ultimately leads to Trump running \u2014 which worked for him in 2016, not four years later \u2014 a conviction could serve as re-election fuel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The role of Alvin Bragg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he walked into the courtroom at 100 Center Street on Thursday, showing his face there for the first time, Manhattan&#8217;s first top prosecutor hadn&#8217;t spoken about the case in months. \u201cI only talk about this matter in court filings and in court. This is what we do,\u201d before the trial began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Bragg had campaigned on a promise to take on Trump. That was enough to win a competitive primary three years ago, before he came under fire from some fellow Democrats \u2014 and a former prosecutor, for his handling of the investigations against Trump. His vindication came Thursday, with Bragg becoming the first prosecutor to take on a former president and likely cementing his status as a Democratic folk hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bragg, who is black, is called by Trump a &#8220;degenerate psychopath who really [sic] hates the USA!&#8221; and an &#8220;animal&#8221;. Now, Bragg can write his own political bulletin, having won his case on all 34 counts. &#8220;Although this defendant may be unlike anyone else in American history, we came to this trial and ultimately today to this verdict in the same way as any other case,&#8221; Bragg said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Democrats are in a panic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allies of President Joe Biden are not on the same page about how to deal with Trump&#8217;s guilty verdict. Some tread carefully, issuing short and simple statements about the legal system providing accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others are taking advantage of the decision to label the former president as unfit to take office again. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Biden supporter, lashed out at Trump in a statement, calling the former president &#8220;racist, homophobic, vicious and a threat to this country&#8221; and saying he &#8220;can now add another title to the title of \u2014 criminal&#8217;. &#8220;Let me be clear,&#8221; Pritzker continued, &#8220;Donald Trump will never be 47.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a member of the Biden campaign&#8217;s national advisory board and a fierce Trump critic, cautioned against politicizing the first criminal conviction of a former president. &#8220;I am proud that our justice system worked. This is not about politics and it shouldn&#8217;t be about politics.&#8221; However, he said, \u201cit is not a moment of pride for anyone in our nation that a man who is elected president of the United States is now being convicted of 34 felonies. It&#8217;s a sad day for our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-12.png 770w, https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-12-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-12-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biden&#8217;s difficult path<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Biden campaign sent actor Robert De Niro to a court appearance, it turned into a showdown between De Niro and MAGA supporters, prompting former Barack Obama adviser David Axelrod to write that \u201canyone in Biden headquarters directed De Niro&#8217;s show on Tuesday probably should have left it out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, the response from the Biden campaign was more measured. Michael Tyler, director of communications for the Biden re-election campaign, said: \u201cTrump has always mistakenly believed that he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. But today&#8217;s verdict doesn&#8217;t change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. There&#8217;s still only one way to keep Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t exactly an attack on Trump. However, as it responds to the future, the Biden team now faces its own problem. The focus of the legal and political world will turn to Biden next week when his son Hunter goes on trial on gun charges in Wilmington, Delaware. Days after Trump&#8217;s trial ends, it will give Republicans a chance to crack down \u2014 or at least try to draw a comparison between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There is a risk of civil war<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just recently The Liberal Globe wrote about an interesting poll which found that 41% of Americans worry that a civil war could break out sometime in the next five years, including 16% who say civil war is &#8220;very likely&#8221; in the same time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>49% of respondents do not think another civil war is likely in the next five years, with just 20% saying it is &#8220;not at all likely&#8221;. An additional 10% is uncertain about the future. &#8220;The possibility that America will soon face another civil war is not too far-fetched for many voters,&#8221; the pollsters said of their survey. As surprising as this Rasmussen Reports research finding is, it has a basis. In fact, that number could be even higher; and that&#8217;s because even Americans are tired of hypocrisy and schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is civic effervescence and deep disillusionment with the decline of both American and Canadian society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once upon a time, everyone avoided Donald Trump becoming president. Now, with what is happening, many are begging for the Republican or anyone else to get out, as Biden&#8217;s US leadership has succeeded in leading not only the country, but the West as a whole, into decline. And it is certainly a feat of Washington, to be proclaimed as &#8220;resistance&#8221; for a billionaire systemic like Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This desperation is pervasive, even in graphic statements such as that of a US congresswoman who said she fears a civil war if Trump is re-elected. Maxine Waters, in an attempt to &#8220;frighten&#8221; citizens into not voting for the Republican, said that Donald Trump &#8220;is a dangerous man&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During an interview with MSNBC, the politician was asked if former President Trump would accept the results of the 2024 election if he lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We better watch out for this man. I&#8217;ll tell you what I&#8217;m going to do: I&#8217;m going to ask the Justice Department and I&#8217;m going to ask the president to tell us what he&#8217;s doing to protect this country. I want to know about all those right-wing organizations he&#8217;s associated with that train in the hills and target. You know which communities they are going to attack\u201d!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But how did the deep state of the USA manage to make even a highly systemic person like Trump &#8220;resistant&#8221;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This deep state is putting up all kinds of obstacles to keep Trump from winning in 2024, when he is now clearly the favorite. In fact, in some examples, even a dictatorial country would not so flagrantly prevent the victory of a political opponent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From ridiculous court cases with porn stars (when the planet once joked about Bill Clinton&#8217;s &#8220;stains&#8221;),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>methods of all kinds in Justice (the well-known fairy tale that the USA is the &#8220;temple of Democracy&#8221;),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to efforts to fast track suffrage to newly arrived immigrants and unsolicited propaganda through systemic American channels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the above proves a system, a deep state that does not tolerate losing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone will reasonably ask &#8220;but if all this is true, how did Trump win over the warmongering Hillary in 2016?&#8221;. In 2016, after the Obama presidency, the democratic methods still existed, in their results. And then the Democrats implemented a campaign of intimidation of the society like &#8220;if Trump comes out, the end of the world is coming&#8221;, but there were still nuggets of Democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, we now come to the big problem. Since then, especially after the pandemic, the elite has been shamed. Whether we are talking about Washington, or the CIA, or the corporate giants, or the leading states of the EU, or anyone who until recently had the mantle of &#8220;democrat&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because of all the above, citizens are tired. Whether we are talking about US citizens, or Europeans, or Asians, or any citizen of the world. The only reason we are talking about a civil war in the US and not American participation in the global reset that will inevitably come due to the decadent economic, political and social model is because this country is the most well-tuned machine when it comes to propaganda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The attempt by the American government of Joe Biden to take Donald Trump out of the presidential race through the court system is already&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18755,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[390,819],"tags":[678,655,1290,5503,4206,679,215,70],"class_list":["post-18754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-usa","tag-democrats","tag-donald-trump","tag-joe-biden","tag-political-prosecution","tag-prosecution","tag-republicans","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18754"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18759,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18754\/revisions\/18759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
