RE: “Mother Teresa Couldn’t Beat These Charges…It’s Rigged”

On this historic day, a day where a former President of the United States and former leader of the free world finds himself waiting for a jury in New York City to tell him his fate, the world is, quite frankly, going to hell. The rigged Biden trial has been a means to keep Donald Trump in a courtroom, not campaigning to tell Americans how he would Make America Great Again.

Inflation is crushing our middle class when they buy everyday necessities like milk, eggs, gas for their cars and paying housing costs.  Young Americans cannot afford to buy a home; even rent is skyrocketing. Our southern border is a sieve, courtesy of Joe Biden, and 11 million migrants have been allowed into our country, and we have literally no idea who many are or where they have gone.  One thing we know for certain is that their presence is eating away at the livelihood Americans have worked to create for their families when large portions of city budgets are redirected to shelters, overcrowded schools, and additional costs for law enforcement. America isn’t respected in the world and the Biden administration seems determined to capitulate in every way possible.

But let’s take stock of the state of affairs.

Donald Trump is the leading candidate in the Presidential campaign, both nationally and in each of the seven swing states. What especially frightens the Democrats is that his coattails may be long enough to ensure a red House and Senate in November.

This morning, according to a new forecast model released by the Decision Desk HQ and the Hill, an online Capitol Hill publication, Donald Trump is projected to not only win the Presidency, but Republicans are projected to win the House and the Senate.

This model is also reinforced by countless public and private polls that show President Trump in a commanding position with less than six months to the election. 

Faced with this kind of forecasting, the knowledge that economic conditions are only going to get worse, and Joe Biden’s mental and physical stature along with it, what else are the Democrats to do but make sure this Kangaroo court in New York City, in front of a truly corrupt Judge, generates a guilty verdict. This is driven, in large part, because the Judge has vested so much of his reputation on moving the Jury toward a guilty verdict — justice, fairness, and the law be damned.

As President Trump stated earlier today, “Mother Teresa couldn’t beat these charges…it’s rigged.”

Over the past few weeks, we have seen the Biden campaign make the most of the prospect of a guilty verdict to raise money, send campaign staff to stand around on street corners like hapless fools, and send in a Raging “Bullshit” artist and washed up gangsta wannabe Robert De Niro to show off the newest style in mask wear. And, Joe Biden has spent more than $30 million in target states and has not moved the needle one bit.

But what do the voters think about all of this? Where do they stand as the Biden “injustice” system perpetrates a historic bastardization of the American justice system?

They don’t like it. They don’t like it at all.

According to the appended memo based on our internal surveys conducted by Tony Fabrizio, well over 50% of Americans have consistently stated the trial is a political sham. A vast majority of Republicans and independents believe that the prosecution has failed to make their case that Donald Trump did anything wrong. They see the corrupt Judge and the Biden show trials for what they are.

The bottom line is this case doesn’t have an impact on voters. What will have an impact? The continued inflation that is sapping American working families, resulting in higher prices on literally everything from food to housing — all while Biden and his cronies hand out billions in tax dollars to pay the college tuition of the anti-semitic terrorists that descended on college campuses.

RE: IMPACT OF NEW YORK TRIAL ALREADY BAKED INTO THE RACE IN TARGET STATES

DATE: MAY 29, 2024

As the trial against President Trump in New York is entering its final phase, the media is unsurprisingly treating the jury’s decision as if it will make or break President Trump’s election ambitions. However, our polling data shows otherwise. The impact of the New York trial, what little there has been, is already “baked into the cake” and voters have by-and-large already formed their opinions on the trial and President Trump’s actions.  Based on weeks of data, we have found that a conviction will not significantly change the advantage President Trump currently enjoys over Biden in our target states, nor will an acquittal increase his lead.

We have been routinely surveying thousands of voters in the seven target states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on a weekly basis. We have similar data going back nearly two months since before the New York trial began. In that entire time period, changes to how voters feel about the trial have been negligible at best.

While a total of 60% of target state voters claim to be following the trial, only 21% are following it “very” closely. Furthermore, those following the trial most closely are significantly more partisan and less likely to be persuadable voters. Democrats (66%) and Biden voters (72%), in particular drive awareness of the trial. Conversely, key target groups like Independents (55%), Undecideds (36%), and our key target Persuadables (38%) are much less likely to be following the trial, with almost none following it “very” closely.

A 53% majority believe the New York trial is politically motivated, exactly the same number we saw two months ago before the trial began and a number that has not significantly changed during the entire period.   Further among the key groups who will untimately decided this election like Independents, 54% say the trial is politically motivated as do 55% of our target Persuadables.  Even as many as one in five Democrats have said the trial is politically motivated.

Furthermore, a plurality of voters feel that the prosecution has failed to prove their case against President Trump by a 42% - 34% margin. Republicans overwhelmingly feel this way, but even Independents say they have failed to prove their case by an 11-point margin. Only Democrats are driving the belief that the New York prosecution has proved that the President committed a crime.

Most importantly, when we asked voters how they would vote given a conviction or an acquittal, the changes were insignificant. President Trump’s lead fell by two net points among those asked how they would vote if he was convicted. His lead increased by one net point among those asked how they would vote if he was not convicted. Both of these shifts are statistically insignificant, meaning that by mathematical standards, no real change in the race.

However, there will no doubt be national polls, especially those conducted by the media, that will likely show exaggerated shifts.  As you know, this election will be won or lost in a handful of states – these 7 in particular – not the national data the media would like us to focus on.

BOTTOM LINE: Voters in our key target states have already made up their minds on this trial. Most voters, especially our supporters, believe the case is politically motivated and a conviction would be a the result of a biased show trial. Biden’s voters will believe President Trump is guilty no matter what. And those in the middle are largely unconcerned and their votes aren’t going to hinge on the results of the trial.

BREAKING: Trump found guilty on 34 felony counts in NY hush money trial

BY: ASHLEY MURRAY SC Daily Gazette - MAY 30, 2024 5:28 PM

WASHINGTON — Jurors in a New York state court on Thursday found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star ultimately to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

The first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president wrapped up in Manhattan, marking an extraordinary moment in American history not only for a former leader, but for one who is seeking to again hold the Oval Office. Trump, the Republican Party’s presumed 2024 presidential nominee, is now a convicted felon.

The jury deliberated for more than 11 hours, beginning Wednesday just before 11:30 a.m. Eastern and delivering the verdict to Justice Juan Merchan just after 5 p.m. Thursday, according to reporters at the courthouse.

New York does not allow recording in the courtroom but provides public transcripts of the proceedings. States Newsroom covered the trial in person on May 20.

Trump now faces penalties ranging from probation to up to four years in prison for each charge of falsifying business records in the first degree. It is unclear when Merchan will sentence Trump.

New York state prosecutors charged 34 felonies against the former president for each of the 11 invoices, 11 checks, and 12 ledger entries tied to reimbursing his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

Cohen, often referred to as Trump’s former “fixer,” said during trial testimony that he wired $130,000 to adult film star and director Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 election to silence her about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump.

Three criminal cases, two federal and one in Georgia, also still hang in the balance for Trump, but the likelihood of another trial happening before November’s election is slim.

This developing story will be updated.

The other side’s reaction:

“Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.

“The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater. He is running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator ‘on day one’ and calling for our Constitution to be ‘terminated’ so he can regain and keep power. A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence — and the American people will reject it this November.” 

— The Biden/Harris Campaign

“We respect the rule of law and have no additional comment.” - Ian Sams, spokesperson for the White House counsel's office.

“This trial exposed Trump’s corrupt deals with tabloids, exploitation of staff and associates, and his willingness to do whatever it takes to serve himself above all costs. The last six weeks were a reminder for voters that Donald Trump’s number one priority is always himself. At a time when we need stable, clear-eyed leadership to stand up to adversaries like Russia and China, Trump reminded voters that he’ll always put himself over the needs of the country.”

— Brandon Weathersby, spokesman for the pro-Biden American Bridge PAC
