President Trump has been stuck in a New York courtroom for weeks as grueling testimony and details have been paraded before the entire world, taking him off the 2024 campaign trail and tying him to one spot in a seemingly endless legal battle.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday, “Very unfair that I am not being allowed to Campaign. Crooked Joe Biden Witch Hunt. Third World Country!!!”
Thursday marked the second day of jury deliberations in the trial, in which the president is facing 34 counts related to the alleged falsification of business records.
NCLU Communications Director Paul Ingrassia reported from the court, “The longer these deliberations take place, the lesser of a likelihood a verdict will be reached today. And the longer the deliberations, conventional wisdom holds the better it is for the defense.”
President Trump has sporadically held monster MAGA rallies in places like Crotona Park in the South Bronx and Wildwood, New Jersey – all within close proximity to the trial that has kept him geographically tethered to a single location.
Traditionally, a presidential candidate would be hitting the campaign trail hard with just a handful of months to go before the November general election, but the endless trials and court schedules have forced Trump to pause the 2024 reelection machine, while Joe Biden is free to do as he pleases.
Trump commented on Truth Social, “Can anybody believe that our Government would be spending Tens of Millions of Taxpayer Dollars on prosecuting this RIDICULOUS Case? I DID NOTHING WRONG! IN FACT, I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. The testimony in Court was amazing for the Defense!”
Despite the courtroom tie-up, Trump is leading tremendously in the polls against Joe Biden. Per RSBN, Trump has a 19-point advantage over his Democrat opponent, according to Polymarket’s latest forecast.
The president also outraised Joe Biden’s campaign by tens of millions of dollars in April, raking in $76 million in donations against Biden’s $53 million – a massive fundraising shift demonstrating the power of Trump’s grassroots support.
If Trump is found guilty on any of the 34 counts in New York and sentenced to potential jail time, former Trump attorney Christina Bobb told Newsmax this week that she was confident it would only fuel the president’s political momentum.
She explained, “If they try to convict him and send him to prison to take him off the campaign trail, it will fuel the American public. The American public will have their own rallies. We will see a wave of MAGA across this country that we haven’t yet seen.”
President Trump is ready to get out of court and get back on the campaign trail, but in his stead, the American people are poised to rise to the occasion and show their support no matter what happens.
