Trump responds victimistically to his accusation: “The only crime I committed was defending our nation”

Former President of the United States Donald Trump He insisted on his innocence during a dawn speech Wednesday from his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, his first public assertions since pleading not guilty to 34 counts in connection with the alleged bribery of a porn actress. Stormy Daniels, assuring that the United States is “going to hell.”

If the New York tycoon’s face was any indication, during the morning’s court proceedings it reflected what the world was weighing on Donald Trump at the time. At night, after the events of the day had been digested, the former president would take the stage in front of a large group of his followers in the comfort of his villa and let out a half-smile, to cries of “United States!” what his audience expected. There, unlike outside, reality still matched Donald Trump’s designs.

The billionaire began his speech with some nerves by clarifying that “the only crime” what he did was try “to defend the United States against all those who seek to destroy the country”. What followed was his usual repetition victims, scams and conspiracy theories about how a system with more than 200 years of history actually exists only to make his life miserable.

“I never thought any of this could happen in the United States”, he assured, pointing out during his speech that the accusations against him are unfounded. “(The case) should be dismissed immediately. Everybody, my lawyers, everybody, says ‘there’s nothing here,’ there’s no case!”, Donald Trump repeated during his speech.

He also criticized, according to Europa Press, current President Joe Biden for wanting to hide his own problems with the law – he talked about documents found in his residence – and persisted in his thesis on electoral fraud in the 2020 election, but focused specifically on criticizing Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan District Attorney Andy Bragg.

So Trump accused Justice of the Supreme Court of New York to hate him, adding, in this case, that Merchan’s wife and daughter also hate him, ignoring that neither of them were in the courtroom and, above all, that neither had anything to do with his accusation. “I have a judge who hates Trump, who has a wife who hates Trump,” he condemned, according to Europa Press, insisting that Bragg was fixated on “persecuting Trump” and that the prosecutor himself should be “impeached or at least resign.”

During his tirade, the former American president referred to another of the causes he opened. He was referring to the case investigating a series of classified documents that the former president did not return when he left the White House, and which include classified information about Iran’s missile program as well as the other country’s nuclear capabilities. In this particular case, which the former president called the “box scam,” Trump accused the National Archives of failing to respect supposed protections for US presidents’ handling of classified information.

Trump also noted that he has been cooperating with the Department of Justice all along regarding the classified documents. The former president once again twisted reality beyond recognition: it is true that the latest information indicates the existence of sufficient evidence for flagrant obstruction of Trump and his team against the actions of the Ministry of Justice regarding the hundreds of documents that were found in various homes of the former president.
