With due respect to Mother Teresa, I cannot keep my anger out of this article. If this were the OJ trial, you could watch with interest and curiosity, knowing that there was a heinous crime, and based on extensive investigation, OJ was charged, tried, and found Not Guilty. In the case of this trial against Donald Trump, there has not been a crime named that the former President of the United States could be judged on. This trial was a pure weaponization of the Justice System by the current President against his primary opponent in the November election, and that is something you would hear about in third-world countries, and that is what America has been reduced to under Joseph Biden. The entirety of my anger is directed at Biden, who has done more than anyone could have predicted to destroy this country. I see only one trial as just: Joe Biden charged with treason against the United States.

This case was looked at seven years ago, and it was decided there was no case, but that did not stop Alvin Bragg and Joe Biden, or the people who hold the strings that make this feckless President move. Joe Biden needs as much negative ammo against Trump because there is not one single aspect of Biden’s presidency they can hold up and say look at this wonderful thing we did. Biden spent two of the three-day holiday weekend sitting on his butt on the beach in Delaware. He was not campaigning because where can he go and say that will reverse the downward trend of his favorability ratings? He has nothing. Every day is valuable, and there are six months to go in the election cycle. There are no days off. So, Biden looks to this trial to give him cover and for events like Robert DiNero appearing outside the New York courthouse to fill the news. Dinero was as bad as Biden as he read his statement. Biden made a bush move to arrange the DiNero appearance, but nobody discussed Biden’s part in the decision. Because of that, the Biden campaign made a smooth strategic move. The Biden team’s announcement that the president would speak within a few hours of the verdict shows how vital the trial is to Biden’s reelection bid. You will probably hear nothing from Biden if the verdict is an acquittal or a hung jury.

The 5th Amendment demands that a person know the violation they are charged with. The judge notified the jury during his directives, but that was the first time Trump and his team had heard. They were never allowed to address the crime. This trial was an hourly class in giving a defendant ammunition for appeal. The judge gave the jury a one-hour synopsis of the jury directions but refused to let them take a hard copy to the jury room. How can they absorb something they have never heard, and how are they supposed to deliberate on a man’s future with their hands tied?

This farce of a trial is embarrassing to the country. Trump and Biden will both be gone in four years, but the damage Biden is doing to this country is incomprehensible. Trump is 100% correct when he said that Mother Teresa could not beat these charges. It is not a fair trial, and anyone associated with what they have done to Trump should see their heads roll. The sad fact is that if Trump is found guilty, his chances in November will definitely be damaged. A victory on appeal will clear Trump, but we may have to endure another Biden term.
