Donald Trump was sentenced today in his hush money trial.
He was found guilty last year of paying adult movie star Stormy Daniels $130,000 for sex — while wife Melania was pregnant — and then covering it up. Total felonies: 34. Yesterday the Supreme Court went against him and ruled that he could be sentenced by Judge Juan Merchan even if there was no penalty.
Trump told the judge via video hook up that he’d been treated badly. “It was an injustice of justice,” he said. “I was treated very, very unfairly.”
Then he took to social media ranted, and lied about the case. (see below)
But nothing will change the facts. He’s the first US president to enter the White House with a sentence, and 34 felony convictions. It’s his main distinction among all US presidents. It will stick to him like velcro into the next century.
Judge Merchan said: “Never before has this court been presented with such a unique and remarkable set of circumstances. This has been truly an extraordinary case.” Merchan wished Trump “godspeed.”
I hope the judge writes a book soon.
Here’s what Donald had to say:
The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt. After spending tens of millions of dollars, wasting over 6 years of obsessive work that should have been spent on protecting New Yorkers from violent, rampant crime that is destroying the City and State, coordinating with the Biden/Harris Department of Injustice in lawless Weaponization, and bringing completely baseless, illegal, and fake charges against your 45th and 47th President, ME, I was given an UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE. That result alone proves that, as all Legal Scholars and Experts have said, THERE IS NO CASE, THERE WAS NEVER A CASE, and this whole Scam fully deserves to be DISMISSED. The real Jury, the American People, have spoken, by Re-Electing me with an overwhelming MANDATE in one of the most consequential Elections in History. As the American People have seen, this “case” had no crime, no damages, no proof, no facts, no Law, only a highly conflicted Judge, a star witness who is a disbarred, disgraced, serial perjurer, and criminal Election Interference. Today’s event was a despicable charade, and now that it is over, we will appeal this Hoax, which has no merit, and restore the trust of Americans in our once great System of Justice. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
