Former President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval towards Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Judge Juan Merchan following his conviction on Thursday.
After extensive deliberations lasting nearly 12 hours, a Manhattan jury consisting of seven men and five women found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsification of business records.
Trump criticized Merchan, alleging corruption, and labeled the trial as a “disgrace.”
“It’s a rigged trial, a disgrace,” Trump said.
“They wouldn’t give us a venue change. We were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area.
“This was a rigged, disgraceful trial.
“The real verdict is going to be November 5th, by the people, and they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here.
“You have a Soros-backed DA, and the whole thing, we didn’t do a thing wrong.
“I’m a very innocent man and it’s okay.
“I am fighting for our country, I am fighting for our constitution.”

“Our whole country is being rigged right now,” Trump continued.
“This was done by the Biden Administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent, and I think it is just a disgrace, and we’ll keep fighting, we will fight to the end and we will win because our country has gone to hell.
“We don’t have the same country anymore, we have a divided mess.
“We are a nation in decline, serious decline. Millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists and they are taking over our country.
“We have a country that is in big trouble.
“This was a rigged decision right from day one with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case, never.
“And we will fight for our constitution.
“This is long from over. Thank you very much.”
Trump claims to be fighting for the Constitution, but when he was prez, in 2018 he wanted to bring in the death penalty for “Anti semitism”…Gee, fighting for the constitution except for the part that is the most important and no other part of the Constitution is possible if it wasn’t for the First amendment, But Trump wants to send you to the Gallows for it but only when it comes to jews
Really? Or was it a case like, “I will be a dictator for a day, I will drill drill drill”, but the only part of that used is ‘he will be a dictator”, or how about talking about “a bloodbath in the car industry”, the only part used of course ‘he will cause a bloodbath’.
You keep hating on Trump and you won’t have an economy left let alone a constitution. Maybe that’s your aim and you are just another Democrat who wants to wreck everything, it’s the only thing socialists and commies are good at.
