Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
The verdict came after a jury deliberated for less than twelve hours in the unprecedented first criminal trial against a US president. It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.
They think that the woman he cheated on Melania with and the lawyer who facilitated the transaction, along with all of the documented evidence, means that the global conspiracy to keep Trump down is only getting even more sinister.
Nevermind that he farted himself to sleep during the trial and refused to testify. Those objective facts don’t stand up to the conspiracy theory they’ve created in their echo chamber.
Refusing to testify can be the right move
It’s true, when you’re a compulsive liar and you can’t help yourself from spewing hatred and inciting violence, not testifying in a court of law is definitely the right move.
