The reality that Trump will be tried in Manhattan is melting away in real time on Saturday, as if it's washing over him.
Trump posted on Truth Social:
Crooked Judge Juan Merchan is gagging me because he doesn't allow me to speak, he's taking away my First Amendment rights, and he doesn't want the facts behind the gag to be made public. How many corrupt, biased, crooked Joe Biden-“protectorate” New York judges do I have to put up with before someone steps in? Lewis Kaplan, a federal judge in New York, was with a woman whom I had no knowledge of and had no connection with until she sued me for “defamation.” She did not know the date, month or year of the alleged “defamation.” An incident occurred. She didn't know anything. Kaplan, Hillary's friend, didn't even allow my lawyer to take on a proper case, made it two cases instead of one, took away my American right to defend myself, and went crazy while his wife and friends sat in the courtroom. He was a gangster. The court stimulated him each day in awe of the small roped-off area. Mysterious woman who said rape was sexy received $91 million.
And of course there's Arthur Engoron, a completely crazy and idiotic professional who ruled that I had to pay a “fine” of almost half a billion dollars for doing nothing wrong (no victims, no damages, ironclad disclaimer, only success) ! ) In reality, he was the one who committed fraud by intentionally undervaluing Mar-a-Lago by $18 million at the direction of racist Corrupt AG Letitia James.

Now there is a merchant who does not allow me to speak, so I am violating both the law and the Constitution. It's too bad he's trying to run away. How was he chosen for this case??? He fought tooth and nail to get it, and I heard everyone else did too! If these partisan hacks want to get me into the “cling” of telling the open and obvious truth, I'll gladly be a modern-day Nelson Mandela. It will be my great honor. We must save our country from political operatives masquerading as prosecutors and judges, and I am willing to sacrifice my freedom for that worthy cause. We are a failed nation, but on November 5 we will be a great nation again. Make America Great Again!
Trump sees himself as the equivalent of the African civil rights leaders who fought against apartheid for decades and were imprisoned.
Donald Trump appears to be a civil rights leader who fights for the rights of con artists who want to commit crimes against elections and subvert democracy.
These two are not the same.
Trump has denied proceeding with the trial.
He told the media he did not think a trial would happen. “I don’t know if you’ll be brought to trial. I don’t know how a trial like this can be held in the middle of an election or presidential election. Again, this is a Biden trial. These are all Biden trials because Colangelo works for Biden. Can you imagine taking a person from the Justice Department and sending them to the Attorney General's office and then to the Manhattan district attorney's office to track down Trump? These are all Biden trials. I don't know if you'll have it. “I think we’ll get a court ruling.”
President Trump has not yet received a court ruling and is scheduled to be tried within 9 days.
The reality is approaching that a former president will be held accountable for the first time in his life.
