RE: US Election & Presidency
I do wonder if the judge will actually take everything that's being said into account when sentencing, seeing as a press conference is due, where I'd be surprised if there wasn't a few threats thrown in amongst the complaining of it being a politcal witch hunt, it being rigged and him doing no wrong and blah, blah, blah. The fine, even per count isn't much, not when Trump has access to his campaign pot to pay it off. 170k is the maximum apparently.
Yes the fact he's been found guilty will be doing his head in, because in his mind he can do no wrong, but a will a fine be enough. Maybe he'll completely lose his shit and go off the deep end, but it still doesn't change the fact that a now convicted felon, could be America's next president, I doubt those blindly supporting him will change their minds.
How would that look to other countries, having a convicted felon in charge. Madness. lol.

RE: US Election & Presidency
He says "Rigged" or "This was a disgrace" to his 'Followers' - If the jury had found him innocent (and NO there was chance of that because of the evidence that was produced) - would he still be saying rigged or this was a disgrace, absolutely not imo.
The man likes to drive the narrative and indeed hopes that everyone that watches him buys into his bullshit (granted Biden was probably not the choice most Americans wanted - but I'm guessing it was probably a case of wanting Biden in rather than another term under Trump - don't get me wrong I find Biden as a total sleepy twat and who can ever forget his attempt to shake hands with the invisible man behind him, some years back, no one especially his family should be encouraging him to stand again, he's too old but if he's the best chance to keep Trump out then I'll have to watch this from my sofa because both men are SHITE imo ).
Getting back to Trump, his fist pumping to the crowd as if he'd just won the lottery was utterly ludicrous and was only meant for anyone still brainwashed by his narrative - The evidence was produced, this was not a witch hunt imo - 34 regular New Yorkers found him guilty - Yes some of the more hardened Trump supporters will say it is but that's a load of bollocks imo - as I said, if he'd been found innocent would he still be moaning? No!
Though what inpact this has with his supporters reamins to be seen, hopfully some will see the light - regardless of 'what side your on', the man is as dodgy as a 9 bob note imo
