Trump’s Trial

Donald Trump’s trial on trumped up bookkeeping charges got underway today. I am not going to follow this trial hour-by-hour. It is worse than a sham. The trial itself is a threat to our constitutional republic.

Every day of this trial will convince more and more Americans that this is no longer America.

Every day of this trial will make it less likely that we will ever be able to heal our divisions.

Every day of this trial will lead us to conclude correctly that the 2024 election has already been interfered with in a way that is beyond the pale.

Every day of this trial shows that it is the left that wants to imitate dictators and “fundamentally transform” America into a nation like communist China or Putin’s Russia or Maduro’s Venezuela where political opponents are torn to pieces in kangaroo courtrooms and Stalinist show trials that are camouflaged as places of justice.

The Trump crowds in 2016 chanting “Lock her up!” were poking fun at Hillary’s obvious corruption. The media went nuts saying, “That’s not what we do in America. We don’t criminalize politics.”

But now that same media and the same critics are cheering every day as the left literally tries its best to lock Trump up. It’s not a campaign slogan. It is a real effort to ensure he dies in jail.
