Politics is like a circus, and it looks like the Democrats have found their favorite juggling act: Trump’s legal cases. In an ongoing saga that feels like it’s been written by a reality TV producer, former President Donald Trump’s sentencing has been delayed yet again.
This time, the postponement pushes it to after the 2024 election. It’s almost as if the system is trying to keep Trump in legal limbo for as long as possible, hoping that one of these cases will finally stick. But spoiler alert: they won’t.
Democrats have been accused—rightfully so—of using “lawfare” to try and sink Trump’s second run for the presidency. I mean, what better way to take down your political opponent than to slap him with four separate lawsuits and hope one of them can bankrupt him or, even better in their eyes, land him behind bars.
It’s no secret that the left has been frothing at the mouth for a Trump conviction. But in this latest Manhattan case, their dreams of locking him up seem to be slipping further and further away.
This case, for those of you blissfully unaware, is one of the most questionable legal battles ever brought to trial. A jury of liberal New Yorkers, shockingly (sarcasm intended), found Trump guilty of some very dubious charges. But here’s the catch—this entire case is likely to get overturned on appeal.
Still, that didn’t stop the Democrats from setting his sentencing for July, conveniently right before the Republican National Convention. But then, a little something called the Supreme Court happened.
A Convenient Delay
Earlier this year, a major Supreme Court decision granted Trump significant immunity from politically motivated lawsuits. This threw a wrench into the Democrat’s “Get Trump” plans and forced the court to push the sentencing to mid-September. But, just when we thought the show was over, a major twist happened. The sentencing has now been postponed again—this time until after the 2024 election.
From CNN:
Former President Donald Trump will not be sentenced in his New York criminal case until after the 2024 election, Judge Juan Merchan announced Friday, explaining that his decision to delay the sentencing is in part to avoid any appearance of affecting the outcome of the presidential race. Merchan wrote in a new four-page letter that he would sentence Trump on November 26 – if necessary – in response to a request from Trump’s lawyers to push back the sentencing.
Well, well, well. Now we have a judge who actually cares about appearances. How thoughtful. Judge Juan Merchan claims that he’s postponing sentencing to avoid influencing the election.
Nice try, but the damage was done the moment this case was filed. The whole thing smells like another political hit job, but now the Democrats have to scramble to figure out what to do since their plan to conveniently throw a Trump sentencing right before the election has fallen apart.
Trump’s Reaction: Right on the Money
Of course, Trump wasn’t going to stay silent about this latest development. And, in true Trump fashion, he gave us a statement that cuts straight to the point.
More from Fox News:
“The case was delayed because everyone realizes there was no case and I did nothing wrong,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “It is a case that should never have been brought.”Trump said “the public understands that and so does every legal scholar that has looked at it and studied it.”
“I greatly respect the words ‘if necessary’ being used in this decision because there should be no, ‘if necessary,’” Trump said. “The case should be dead.”
And there you have it, folks. Trump is absolutely right. The case should be dead. But here we are, watching this ridiculous show play out while Democrats hope and pray that one of their flimsy lawsuits will stick.
Trump’s not the only one who knows this case is a joke. Legal scholars, pundits, and anyone with a shred of common sense can see that this is nothing more than a political sideshow designed to drag him through the mud before the 2024 election.
A Comparison to Trump’s First Term
Let’s take a little trip down memory lane, shall we? Back in Trump’s first term, border crossings were down, the economy was up, and the country was more secure than it had been in years. Trump wasn’t just talking about law and order—he was delivering it.
Compare that to the current administration, where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can’t seem to figure out if the border is open or closed on any given day, and crime is spiraling out of control.
And Trump’s not just sitting on the sidelines in 2024. He’s already promised that if elected, he’ll clean up this mess of a system, starting with a mass deportation of illegal immigrants and a crackdown on crime.
Meanwhile, Harris, who can’t even handle basic interviews without devolving into nonsensical word salads, is reportedly eyeing the 2024 presidential run. The same Kamala Harris who was supposed to fix the border crisis but couldn’t even be bothered to visit it for months. The same Kamala who thinks “equity” is more important than actual results. Yeah, good luck with that.
What Happens Next?
The delayed sentencing is a win for Trump and a massive setback for the Democrats, who are still reeling from their failed impeachment attempts and Russia collusion fantasies. But here’s the kicker—while they continue to drag Trump through the legal muck, his base isn’t going anywhere. In fact, all these attacks have only solidified his standing as the anti-establishment candidate.
If Democrats think this delay is going to somehow help their chances in 2024, they’re sorely mistaken. Trump thrives in chaos, and this legal circus only adds to his narrative that he’s the one taking on the corrupt political establishment. And let’s be honest, the Democrats are handing him that narrative on a silver platter.
So, what’s next? As 2024 approaches, one thing is certain: the Democrats’ legal battles against Trump are not only backfiring—they’re giving him exactly the platform he needs to win over voters again. And if Kamala Harris is their best shot at stopping him, well, let’s just say Trump won’t be losing any sleep over that.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump’s sentencing delay until after the 2024 election exposes the Democrats’ strategy of using lawfare to hurt his presidential run.
- Trump rightly pointed out that the case is baseless and should never have been brought in the first place.
- While Democrats stumble with their legal games, Trump’s base remains strong, and he’s already promising a return to law and order if re-elected.
