Former President Donald Trump suffered a little setback being found guilty in the hush money trial manufactured by rogue prosecutors at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. It led to a single-day fundraising haul of over $50 million, an energized GOP base, and even non-Trump legal analysts poking massive holes into the arguments behind the charges against the former president.
Translation: anti-Trump prosecutors made up statutes and contorted legal definitions to the point where they were meaningless to ensnare Trump. It’s a witch hunt, but Trump remains unfazed. He stopped by UFC 302 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey this weekend and got a hero’s welcome from the crowd (via Fox News):
Donald Trump appeared at UFC 302 and received a huge ovation from the fans at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday night as fans awaited the main event featuring Dustin Poirier challenging for Islam Makhachev’s UFC Lightweight Championship.
Trump walked into the arena with UFC president Dana White. He also stopped for a second to greet comedian Theo Von. Trump shook the hands of some fans and waved to the crowd.
[…]
Trump has made semi-regular appearances at UFC events. He’s close friends with White, who spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Trump’s favor.
And yes, the “F**k, Joe Biden” chants rained down from the rafters:

The Left thinks that being a convicted felon would damage the former president. It most certainly did not. These people will never learn that normal folks will never follow whatever the political class finds appropriate.
I plan to vote for Trump again this November. It’s the American thing to do, as it’s now a vote against the continued weaponization of our legal system.
