Former President Trump Speaks after Being Convicted Of 34 Felonies: “We’re Going To Be Appealing This Scam
As previously reported, a jury in New York unanimously found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to influence the 2016 presidential election. It marked the first time in American history a former president has been found guilty of a crime.
In the midst of an ongoing election year, where Trump is vying for his old job back, the implications of this conviction are significant. However, what remains to be seen is whether Trump himself is truly bothered by these developments…
On Friday, Trump addressed the media from Trump Tower in New York City, expressing his intent to appeal the conviction. He denounced the trial as a “scam” and criticized Judge Juan Merchan for allegedly denying the defense the opportunity to present witnesses and speak freely. Trump went as far as calling the judge a “tyrant.” “We’re going to be appealing this scam. We’re going to be appealing it on many different things,” Trump added.

As for concerns about the effects this may have on his presidential run. Trump also said he’s still vowing to fight for the country:
“I’m willing to do whatever I have to do to save our country and to save our Constitution,” he said. “So we will continue the fight. We’re going to make America great again.”
Continuing his rant he said, “Our kids can’t have a little league game anymore because you have tents and you have migrants living on the fields. That’s the least of it. People are taking over our luxury hotels, migrants and yet, our veterans, our great veterans, are living on the streets like dogs. They’re living on the streets, but migrants are living in luxury hotels and cities all over our country run by Democrats,” Trump said.
Furthermore, he blamed Biden for the outcome of his trial: “It all comes out of the White House. Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country. He’s the worst president in the history of our country, the most incompetent, he’s the dumbest president we’ve ever had. He’s the dumbest president, most incompetent president, and he’s the most dishonest president we’ve ever had,” Trump said. He ultimately closed with:
“Remember, November 5 is the most important day in the history of our country. Thank you very much.”
