Trump’s Indictment: The Blindness Of Justice To Republican
Judging from the United States political system, there is an assurance that Donald Trump will be the Republican party’s nominee for the presidency in next year’s election. But his major obstacle is Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene who was assumed to had inspired Trump’s arrest.
Just as Jesus Christ was betrayed, Greene Taylor’s intention was to commission buyers of the U.S Former President. According to Trump’s repeated assertion, he is the victim of a “witch hunt” orchestrated by George Soros and his puppet-accomplice, the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, doing the bidding of “radical left lunatics” to thwart his righteous Second Coming.
The “real criminal”, embattled Trump snorted in the low-energy litany of grievance he aired at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, was Bragg; the only crime he himself had committed was to defend America against those who sought to destroy it.
Applying his usual strategy of twisting accusations against himself back on to his adversaries, Trump characterised the charges against him as a systematic attempt to “interfere with the election of 2024”.

In the same development, probing his recorded efforts to get Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, to “find” him the 11,780 votes he needed to win, can only be explained by the fact that Fulton County’s district attorney running the inquiry, Fani Willis, is “racist”.
When asked, Willis’ unchanged response to uphold Trump’s First Amendment right to say anything he wanted, provided it did not rise to the level of personal threats or incitement, while brushing off the slur as “naturally ridiculous”.
According to Financial Times, losing sleep at the prospect of a second Trump term and the collapse of the constitutional democratic Republic that would likely go with it, here’s the good news: all the devotion of the “MAGA” world to their hero and martyr does not a presidential victory make.
Meanwhile, the mysticism is that as the large majority of Republicans go along with the David Trump’s notion of political persecution, a majority of the electorate doesn’t feel the same way.
A Marist/PBS poll conducted the week before the court appearance had 56 per cent declaring the investigations, including special counsel Jack Smith’s inquiry into Trump’s role in urging a mob to “persuade” Mike Pence and the Senate to void the decision of the electoral college, and Trump’s removal of presidential records to Mar-a-Lago as notable.
This number further included 51 per cent of independents. Sixty-one per cent of all those asked said they did not want Donald Trump to be elected president in 2024.
In case any of them were having doubts as to whether disguising the reimbursement of hush money payment to Stormy Daniels amounts to a felony, neither the conspiracy operetta Trump performed following his arraignment nor his B-movie apocalypse script (“I am your retribution”) are likely to make middle America warm to his reoccupation of the White House.
On Tuesday evening, we did hear from middle America, in the improbably significant election of a seat to Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. Despite Trump’s own urge to his loyalists to protest, and the media’s perspiring efforts to gin up the performative melodrama, the day turned into a bit of a historic nothingburger. In contrast, what went down in Wisconsin was a better bellwether of what 2024 might hold in store.
Most commentary on the Trump indictment and the other ongoing investigations into possible criminal acts, has understandably concentrated on whether it will be an asset or a liability for his campaign.
Some sect are tempted to think that, in the end, the latter is more likely, but compared to another more profound point, all that is so much white noise.
What are being tested in these unhappy proceedings are the pillars upon which American democracy stands or falls: the power of truth; the blindness of justice to rank, wealth or office; and allegiance to the constitution.
