The Trump verdict is a huge setback for America. My analysis spotlights why. Here are the top ten points I feel are most important.
- The verdict is the verdict. Nothing anybody can do about it.
- Trump's lawyers will appeal. Sentencing is July 11th.
- Judge Merchan is probably not going to do anything outrageous in the sentencing.
- If the sentence is draconian and prevents Trump from campaigning, it's going to go right to the Supreme Court.
- I'm really disturbed about the level of hatred that is rising in America. This is rank hatred on both sides, and that's bad for the country.
- The MAGA people, most of the 70 million people who voted for Trump; they believe this whole thing is B.S., just as Trump said. They firmly believe it.
- We don't have justice anymore in America, particularly in New York.
- Poor people have no chance. If you're attacked by somebody and accused by somebody, you better have hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend yourself because if you don't, you're not even going to get a lawyer.
- Think about Putin, Xi, the mullahs in Tehran, Hamas. They are laughing at us.
-
Biden is going to make a statement about this. Biden has to be careful, using the White House as a backdrop.
Have a good weekend. New column Sunday.
