The conviction of former President Donald Trump was not only an embarrassment for the Democratic Party, but also a sad day for America.

President Trump was convicted of 34 charges due to the weaponization of our justice system under the Biden Administration. This administration has long used the courts against individual Americans, but the political prosecution of President Trump affects us all.

While I am disturbed that this administration and the left have taken these steps to rig and win the election, I am confident that the truth will prevail in our favor.

This entire case is a sham initiated, influenced and heavily influenced by the left. From the beginning, parties involved in the prosecution of President Trump have donated to Biden's 2020 campaign and other radical left organizations. Alvin Bragg's campaign for Manhattan District Attorney was heavily funded by far-left Democratic billionaire George Soros.

Judge Marchan, who is handling this case, along with his daughter, who has raised millions of dollars for far-left foundations, donated to Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign. From the beginning, their plan and campaign was aimed at defeating President Trump. The Constitution gives everyone the right to a fair trial, and they are depriving them of this right because they know President Trump will win.

Their abuse of the justice system is so blatant that they make no attempt to hide their motives. Alexander Soros, son and successor to George Soros, has taken to social media to urge everyone to take every opportunity to call President Trump a “convicted felon.” The American people will not be fooled by their lies and election interference.

While this bogus lawsuit appeared to be a relief and victory for the malicious far-left con artists, Trump's campaign website went down from the amount of financial support he received from outraged Americans. Sadly, I am not surprised that the Biden Administration is calling for the downfall of the United States. They have proven themselves destructive time and time again, but illegally dragging down a political opponent will forever be an ugly stain in our history books.

I still believe our justice system will prevail and the charges against President Trump will be dropped in a higher court. The American people desperately want and need President Trump back in the White House, and I am confident that millions of Americans will make their voices heard in November. I have no doubt that President Trump will overcome Biden's border crisis and lead America to recover from the economic destruction caused by this administration.
