On May 30th, 2024, Donald Trump, a former President of the United States, was found guilty on all 34 counts by a jury of his peers in Alvin Bragg’s New York trial. This verdict was unanimous by all jurors. Let’s explore.

Trial Background

This trial began as a result of the hush money payment of $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, an adult entertainment star. She alleges that she and Donald Trump had sex prior to the 2016 election in a hotel room. It is unclear from Donald Trump exactly how the payment came about, which is what this New York Trial wanted to uncover.

In addition, the trial wanted to also ascertain if this payment along with Trump’s New York property overvaluations was one in many pieces of a conspiracy used to defraud banks out of money when lending to Mr. Trump.

There’s a lot more to uncover about this trial in terms of these pieces. Suffice to to say that the above snippets only barely cover the tip of the overall scheme documented by 34 charges each alleging a specific problem in this conspiracy.

Trial Ends

On May 30th, 2024, the trial ended with jury deliberation over 2 days to come to the unanimous verdict of 34 guilty counts.

What this now means for Donald Trump is as yet unclear. One thing is crystal clear. Donald Trump will attempt to utilize all legal avenues to have the verdict dismissed, have the trial dismissed or any number of other such possibilities therein. Whether Donald Trump’s legal team will be successful remains to be seen.

The trial itself was handled quite carefully, judiciously, expeditiously and was proctored exceedingly fairly by Judge Juan Merchan who presided over this trial, amid all of Donald Trump’s verbal shenanigans.

However, Donald Trump has continued to paint the trial, the trial judge and the whole system as farcical, biased, politically motivated and under the thumb of Joe Biden. Donald Trump says a lot of things, most of it is untrue and exists without any factual basis. When pressed for facts, Mr. Trump is never able to provide any facts to backup his claims.

Where do we go from here?

Since the trial has now ended with all 34 counts as guilty, it now moves into the sentencing phase, which is scheduled for early July. I was hoping for a sooner sentencing date, but here we are. In fact, it would have been great if the judge had told Trump that if he begins attacking the process of sentencing verbally, the date will move up for each infraction. This would give Trump an incentive to remain over attacking the process.

Of course, Donald Trump will also attempt to get the verdict overturned on appeal. How successful that appeal will be we do not know. Basically, with Donald Trump, it’s actually a crap shoot. If Donald Trump manages to get his appeal in front a judge who is a Trump sycophant, it’s entirely possible the entire verdict could be dismissed on appeal.

Such an action would do not only do great harm to the judicial system, it would definitely show that Trump still has great power within the current system, getting people to do his bidding. That, in fact, is how Democracy dies.

Death of Democracy

Donald Trump claims he’s for the constitution. Well, he is, but not how you might think. Donald Trump is for dismantling the constitution and all of its rights. Donald Trump wants to be elected as America’s first authoritarian dictator.

If Donald Trump’s trial verdict is dismissed, we are on the road to the death of America. Not only will this signal the strong possibility of re-election for a man who is fully unqualified to run the United States, he will systematically dismantle the entirety of the constitution from the day he enters the Oval Office.

A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for an authoritarian dictatorship, one when you are forced to give up your rights to, well, everything. No more freedom of speech. No more freedom of the press. No more freedom from illegal search and seizure. No more freedom to own firearms.

Once the constitution is dismantled, and you can absolutely bet that burning the constitution will be the first thing that occurs if Donald Trump becomes president, the second thing will be for Donald Trump to use the military to round up his political enemies and imprison them without any trials. Once there is no more a judicial system, HE will become judge, jury and executioner… which is exactly how Donald Trump wants it.

Death of Voting Rights

If you vote Donald Trump in as President, it will be the last vote you will ever make for any President ever. Why? Because Donald Trump will not only dismantle the constitution, he will dismantle free and fair elections along with that. There will no longer be held any elections in which you can vote for anyone. Not the President, not congress, not anyone.

If there are no elections, then Donald Trump can never be voted out of office. Thus, he can never lose an election ever again. No elections means no more Democracy. Instead, Donald Trump will pen a new charter for the United States, one that sees to it that he remains in power in perpetuity, much in the same was as it works in Russia and China.

Believing that Donald Trump is truthful when he says he wishes for the United States to be better, you’re delusional. The man is a narcissist who will say and do anything to make you believe whatever he wants you to believe. If you’re so gullible you can’t see through his charade, then perhaps we do need an apocalyptic authoritarian wakeup call.

Donald Trump’s false rhetoric around the United States collapsing is not only not true, it’s complete and total fantasy. He only says it because it’s projection. He wants you to believe others are crafting this situation… when it, in fact, it is he (Donald Trump) who will craft this situation once he arrives back into the White House.

Future Generations

If you wish for your children to have no future, then by all means vote Donald J. Trump back into power. That’s exactly what you’re going to get. Not only will Trump plunge the United States into a depression much deeper, wider and longer than what happened in 1929, he will ensures that it stays that way for many, many, many years. At that point, we’ll again be worried about the border, but only because so many Americans are leaving the United States for a better life away from the new Donald Trump Amerika.

OR…

We can send this man to prison… for a very long time. We can vote in Joe Biden for another 4 years who will see the economy continue to improve, see the United States thrive and grow and see prices reduce back to pre-pandemic levels. We’re not there yet, but we’re definitely on the right track.

With Donald Trump back in power, any hope you had of your children having a future in the United States will be gone. Any hope you had of your own future will be gone. With Donald Trump in prison and not elected again, America can continue to be what it is day… a proud Democracy.

Democrats are not the enemy

As much as Donald Trump’s lip service has been intended to ensure that the Democrats are now the enemy of the Republicans, that is simply untrue. America is a two party system. Each party has different ideals, yes, but they both work for the common good of the people. You may not like all of how the Democrats work or even how the Republicans work, but they both work for the betterment of the United States.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump is neither a Republican nor Democrat. He’s not even really an American at heart. He is an authoritarian dictator masquerading as a Republican. He has usurped the Republican Party because most Republicans are extremely gullible. They allowed this man to (ab)use the Republican party and the Republican ideals to put forth his authoritarian dictatorship agenda. It’s even worse. Because many additional authoritarian Congressional Representatives have been since elected into power with the same goals as Trump, we are now firmly on the brink of becoming another China or Russia.

Vote with your brain, not with your ears. Don’t listen to these false authoritarian narratives spewed from a man with no conscience nor ethics, that man being Donald J. Trump.

Ask yourself, do you believe the Democrats are the enemy because of what they’ve done or because of what someone has told you? If you view the actions of the Democrats for yourself, you will see their goals to be noble and ethical even if you don’t agree with how they might be implemented. It is Donald Trump alone who is telling you that the Democrat goals are anything but noble or ethical. Don’t listen to false narratives, do your own firsthand research to find out exactly what the Democrats are actually doing. Don’t listen to false the spewed from the mouth of a wanna dictator.
