“It’s a nightmare”, but we “will obviously vote for him”, assure his supporters

The 77-year-old billionaire became the first ex-president in the history of the United States to be found criminally guilty, following a trial for hidden payments to an X-rated movie star.

Like a clap of thunder in the late New York afternoon. On Thursday, May 30, Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 counts in the “Stormy Daniels” affair during his criminal trial in New York. If he remains free for the moment, he becomes the first ex-president in history to be criminally convicted.

This historic verdict, with unpredictable political consequences, will not prevent the Republican champion from being a candidate in the presidential election on November 5 against Democrat Joe Biden, even in the event of a prison sentence.

Still, this verdict seems like a real earthquake for the 77-year-old billionaire who says to himself:innocent” and intends to return to the White House… just like his supporters. In front of the Manhattan court, in front of the cameras of the whole world, some Trumpists expressed their despair after the verdict was announced for hidden payments to a film star X.”Disgusted! I don’t believe it, it’s a nightmare…says Raul, with his red cap on his head. We hoped for common sense from New Yorkers, not that they had so much hatred. I believe that one of the jurors judged him innocent, but he was afraid of going against the majority.“

“We will vote for him“, shouts this supporter of the Republican candidate for the White House. “The real verdict”, it will be November 5, says Donald Trump. Jim will not fail him: “Obviously I will vote for Trump in November! I will vote Republican all my life. I’m frustrated with this verdict, but I still think he will win in November“, he hopes.

Anna launches into a diatribe against Joe Biden: “No matter what happens, I have decided that I will vote for Donald Trump. I will never vote for Joe Biden. Never. He is incapable of governing. He destroyed our economy, he dragged us down. However, our system worked. This judge decided today to destroy this system. I have faith, however, that normal Americans will step back and tell themselves that this is all wrong, regardless of their political side..”

“Look what’s happening: if you have a different opinion, you’re going to suffer in these Soviet-style trials!”

But on the other side of the fence, the anti-Trump people hope, like Jennifer, that this conviction will reduce his chances of victory: “Anyone who is not totally cut off from reality must now realize that he is a convicted criminal, already convicted of sexual assault as well. The evidence was clearly overwhelming! He’s a crook, he shouldn’t be responsible for anything!“, denounces the demonstrator.

Like her, everyone is now waiting until July 11 to find out the former president’s sentence for these hidden payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. By coincidence, it will be pronounced by the judge of the Manhattan court, four days before the Republican Party convention which is to nominate Donald Trump as the candidate of the American conservatives.
