As the world knows now, former President Donald Trump has been found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in New York. The charges stem from payments made to women he allegedly had affairs with. His sentencing is set for July 11, 2024, just four days before the Republican National Convention. Despite these hurdles, Trump remains the leading candidate for the Republican nomination and has a substantial lead in the polls, so he could potentially serve as president from behind bars. Let’s explore how this sham trial has backfired on the Democrats and President Biden.
The Frivolous Charges Against Trump
Accused of falsifying business records, Trump’s actions were linked to hush money payments. These charges are weak and most definitely politically motivated. The timing of the trial, so close to the Republican National Convention, was designed to disrupt his campaign.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani explained that nothing in the Constitution prevents a felon or even someone serving time from becoming president. The requirements are straightforward: be 35 years old, born in the United States, and not have engaged in insurrection. These charges have nothing to do with insurrection, meaning Trump is still eligible to run and possibly win.
The Sham Trial and Its Fallout
From the start, this trial has appeared to be a political witch hunt. The Democrats, desperate to stop Trump, have used the justice system as a weapon. The trial’s legitimacy is in question, with many seeing it as a tactic to distract from the failures of the current administration.
The trial has only strengthened Trump’s support base. Many see him as a victim of a corrupt system trying to silence a powerful voice. This has backfired spectacularly on the Democrats, rallying more supporters to Trump’s cause.
How Trump Could Govern from Prison
If Trump wins the election while incarcerated, it would be a logistical nightmare, but it’s entirely possible. He would still receive Secret Service protection, even behind bars. Rahmani pointed out that Trump would be separated from the general prison population for security reasons. This unique situation raises many questions about how a president could effectively govern from prison.
Imagine the White House operating from a prison cell. Secret Service agents would ensure Trump’s safety, and technology would allow him to communicate and make decisions. It would be unprecedented, but Trump has always thrived in unconventional scenarios. If Trump were placed under house arrest and win, his official residence would be the White House, so that would make things much easier!
The Democrats’ Plan Backfires
The Democrats hoped this trial would derail Trump’s campaign. Instead, it has energized his base and exposed the lengths to which his opponents will go to stop him. The trial has highlighted the perceived injustices in the system and painted Trump as a martyr for the conservative cause.
President Biden and his administration are facing backlash. The public sees through the political maneuvering, and many are outraged by the misuse of the judicial system. This backlash has weakened Biden’s standing, and the trial has become a rallying cry for Trump supporters.
The Implications for the 2024 Election
As the 2024 election approaches, the situation remains fluid. Trump’s potential to serve as president from prison adds a dramatic twist to an already contentious race. The Republican National Convention will be crucial in determining the party’s strategy moving forward.
Trump’s legal battles have not dampened his spirit. He continues to campaign vigorously, using the trial as proof of his resilience and determination. His supporters believe he is fighting not just for himself but for the principles of fairness and justice.
The Role of Public Opinion
Public opinion plays a critical role in this scenario. Many Americans are disillusioned with the current administration and the perceived corruption within the justice system. The trial has galvanized Trump’s supporters and brought new energy to his campaign.
Rahmani’s insights shed light on the practicalities of a president serving from prison. The logistics may be complicated, but Trump’s determination and the support of his base make it a viable scenario. The Democrats’ attempts to undermine him have only made him stronger.
Final Thoughts
Trump’s legal battles and the prospect of him serving as president from prison highlight the extraordinary nature of this election cycle. The charges against him appear frivolous, and the trial itself seems like a political stunt. This strategy has backfired on the Democrats, energizing Trump’s supporters and exposing flaws in the justice system.
As we look ahead to the 2024 election, one thing is clear: Trump’s fight is far from over. His supporters are more determined than ever, and the trial has only solidified his status as a leader who won’t back down. The Democrats’ plans have backfired, and Trump’s path to the presidency remains open, even from behind bars.

I’ll vote for him in prison or not. He’s the best President we’ve ever had.
Actually, he couldn’t serve as President while behind bars. However, any sentence would have to be suspended for his entire term as President.
This is all well and good and Trump has my vote, but this all depends on Obiden staying. What if he drops out? They will blame Trump’s loss on the fact a “real” dem was installed like Newsome or Mike Obama, if successful at their fraud. We will be done!
I agree Joe – that could happen. Obiden… LOL
Good article, gives our citizens hope to gain DJT and lose OBiden.
Thanks Alan!
Secret Service can run said Jail or Prison
Thus can campaign from cell
America needs Donald Trump more now than ever.
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER, AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
America, take it from a very old soldier/cop. Most of the actions taken and/or not taken by the American judicial system just since Joe Biden joined the Senate in the seventies and Donald Trump came down that escalator are really not all that new. But, the acts of ignoring the criminal history of the entire Biden family and falsely convicting an ex-president clearly demonstrates that the democrats dominating the political class, the bureaucracy, the media, and academia have become louder, dumber, more self-centered, and have no regard for the rights/concerns of their fellow Americans. Question you have to ask yourself is; do you really know the true degree of threat the democrats present to you, your family, and your way of life?
As a retired soldier/cop who joined the army at the age of 17, spent over 30 years as a soldier/military cop after swearing to protect the American people from all threats (both foreign and domestic), followed by many years as a civilian police chief sworn to serve and protect the folks in my community, I present you with ten of the many lessons learned I first presented over 35 years ago to the citizens of my community.
AN OLD SOLDIER/COP’S LESSONS LEARNED.
*The ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ according to a survey of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance to the veterans are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers chose “candor” is because candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier the lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! It has been my observation that, democrats are masters of co-mission while republicans are masters of omission!
*The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the political class, the bureaucracies at every level of government, the media, and academia.
*The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
*There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
*American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs, and their vision and hearing impaired 50% or more.
*Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier and a cop I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, corrupt, incompetent, witless, cowards. Note: Prior to retiring to the deep woods I referred to most of the before mentioned folks as self-serving, corrupt, incompetent, witless, cowardly, piss-ants. After a short time in the woods I came to know that piss-ants are neither self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
*After carefully watching the whole of the political class for many years I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
*The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, fascism, or capitalism. The elites of the world have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, wars, etc., to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whoever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is Feudalism!
*The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the so-called media.
*If the so-called ‘progressive movement’ continues unchecked a number of able veterans/soldiers/cops are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
Soldier/Cop, Retired
Note: These ten lessons learned and an additional twelve were prepared as part of the prelude of a book that detailed an investigation that named as subjects a large number of politicians and bureaucrats including a first term senator named Biden, a governor named Bush, and a state attorney general named Clinton. Do I have to tell any of you what government office each of these politicians managed to take?
