"The conviction comes at a critical moment in the campaign...

Trump’s entire persona is built around the facade that he is a powerful strongman, impervious to attacks and solely capable of defending his followers. Now he stands for election as a convict, a weak man too cowardly to take the stand who was bested by a local district attorney."

"Trump is a .

Resoundingly. On every count.

This was no split verdict. It was a devastating conclusion, reached swiftly but after evidently serious consideration of the evidence.

It follows on the civil jury that found liable in 2023 for sexually abusing ... In addition to the state judge who ordered Trump to pay more than $355 million for defrauding lenders & insurers about his wealth"

This is such a great win for the average American.

Why don't the Democrats shout out all the things they do that help average American citizens? The Dems are terrible at campaigning. Sigh....

Also, too many news organizations just don't report on the good things that government does. Sadly, bad news gets more "clicks" than good news. (Thus, the people doing the clicking are at least somewhat responsible for news orgs' focus on negativity. But news orgs ultimately responsible.)
