Donald Trump blasted the US as a “third world country” and “a Nation in Decline” in response to his indictment in Manhattan on Thursday that he bribed the porn actress Stephanie Clifford, better known by her stage name Stormy Daniels.
Trump has said that the case against him is an “assault on the country.” He thanked his supporters for their “tremendous support” since he was indicted.
“Our beautiful country is now a country on the way down. The radical left’s thugs and the rebels have taken it over and are destroying it “He said this in a message on Truth Socia.
“Right now, we’re living in a third-world country, but we’re going to go back and make America great again,” he said, referring to his campaign slogan.
The former president will go to court next Tuesday in Manhattan. The charges against him haven’t been made public yet, but US media sources say there are at least thirty cases of campaign fraud.
The Manhattan Prosecutor’s Office thinks that Trump hid the payments to the actress, which were made by his now-former lawyer Michael Cohen, in the campaign funds.
Despite Cohen’s inclusion of Trump in his plea deal, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York decided against charging Trump in connection with the Stormy Daniels payment in 2019.
In 2021, the Federal Election Commission also abandoned its investigation.
More than half of the felony cases in Manhattan were reduced to misdemeanors in 2022, Bragg’s first year as the district attorney.
He ran on a platform of reforming the criminal justice system and, upon taking office, issued a “day one” memo recommending that crimes like armed robberies of businesses be reclassified.
According to a previous report by Fox News Digital, crime in New York City has recently increased by 27.6 percent.
Trump’s campaign sources say that he will leave his mansion in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on Monday and head to New York, where he will stay the night before going to court.
