In a show of overwhelming public support, former President Donald Trump received thunderous applause and a standing ovation as he made his first public appearance at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, two days after his controversial and widely criticized conviction in Manhattan. I received it. “Hush money” trial.
The Prudential Center in New Jersey erupted in cheers as Trump entered the venue, unconcerned by the recent legal battle. President Trump has expressed not only his support but also his severe opposition to a corrupt judicial process that seeks to undermine his political influence.
The conviction, which occurred just 10 miles away in New York, was criticized as the result of a kangaroo court driven by partisan interests.

President Trump made his first public appearance since he was found guilty on 34 bogus felony charges in a New York City court last Thursday and held a press conference at Trump Tower on Friday.
“We will be appealing this on many fronts. He did not allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn't allow us to talk. “He won’t allow us to do anything,” Trump said at a press conference.
Trump is expected to appeal Merchan's ruling, which would significantly limit the testimony of Trump's star witness, former FEC Commissioner Bradley Smith.
“He waited two days, and when it was his turn, Bragg's people protested, and the judge knocked him out and told him he couldn't testify. He said he couldn't actually testify about anything related to the trial. I can tell you what a federal election is. Well, that doesn't help. Everyone knows it. But I can’t testify,” Trump said at a news conference.
President Trump said of his political persecution, “It all comes from the White House.” He went on to say, “We have crookedly made Joe Biden the worst president in our country’s history.
He is the worst and most incompetent president in our country's history. He's the dumbest president we've ever had. “He is the dumbest president, the most incompetent president, and the most dishonest president ever.”
Trump gave an outstanding speech, not a campaign speech, but he spoke so clearly and powerfully for 33 minutes. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is, as President Trump mentioned at a press conference, “a person who cannot put two sentences together.” This is why prosecutors and Merchant issued an order banning Trump from speaking.
Donald Trump's re-election campaign raised nearly $53 million from Merchan's kangaroo court conviction, the Trump campaign said on Friday!
Keep in mind that Joe Biden previously set the record with an event that brought in an unprecedented $25 million. About a week later, Trump set another record-breaking, unprecedented event by raising over $50 million!
As Americans condemn political prosecution, it's no surprise that President Trump donated nearly $53 million in 24 hours.
