Donald Trump has been in the furnace ever since he announced his 2024 presidential run, but you know what the fire does? It purifies and shows the truth to everyone.
The 45th President is facing 4 different cases that seem politically timed to swamp him during election season. But 3 of those cases have hit a wall, not only because they are very questionable but because the prosecution has handled them poorly.
The 4th case is still in motion and is currently capturing all the headlines right now in New York. Alvin Bragg’s attempt to string together a patchwork of federal and state laws to charge the former President with 34 felonies has been called ludicrous by many legal experts. Even worse, Trump has spoken out against this travesty and has been hit with a gag order, fines, and threats of jail if he keeps speaking out.
Did you think that would keep Donald silent? In fact, he is doing just the opposite.
From Fox News:
Former President Trump announced Thursday morning that his defense team in the NY v. Trump case has filed a motion to appeal the “unconstitutional gag order” that was imposed on the 45th president, restricting what he can publicly say about the case.“I just want to let you know that we’ve just filed a major motion in the appellate division concerning the absolutely unconstitutional gag order, where I’m essentially not allowed to talk to you about anything meaningful that’s going on in the case. And many good things are going on with the case. It shouldn’t have been filed,” he said.
Legal experts have made many arguments against this gag order. While gag orders are used occasionally, using one against the Republican presumptive nominee during an election year as the defendant in a case is unheard of.
What makes it worse is the behavior of the prosecution’s witnesses. Michael Cohen, who has been convicted of fraud, has been allowed to say anything negative about Trump that he wants and fundraise on TikTok. Stormy Daniels has made mountains of money on her accusations, and was sickeningly paraded on the stand this week with no penalty from the judge.
Judge Merchan seems to have it out for Trump, treating him prejudicially and not allowing him to defend himself against public allegations. But Trump seems to be handling it well, exercising what he believes are his Constitutional rights by speaking out and filing a legal appeal of the gag order.
Most are unsure how this case, or any other, will shake out before judge and jury, but many experts are confident that a more mature appellate court will vindicate Trump. But that doesn’t seem to be the point. Democrats look like they want to tar and feather Trump before the election, with the ability to call him a convict or even land him behind bars.
But people are speaking out through the polls, and it seems clear: the more Trump is persecuted, the greater his chances of winning a 2nd term in the White House.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump has been hit with an unprecedented gag order by Judge Merchan in the NY Case.
- Trump and his team have appealed the gag order as unconstitutional and unfair against a defendant.
- The case against Trump seems to be lifting him in the polls rather than hurting him.
