Another political show?, Trump surrenders himself

Release time:Apr 15, 2024 12:35 PM

On the 24th local time, Trump surrendered to Fulton Prison in Georgia and completed the process in less than half an hour. He was released on bail and left the prison. After surrendering, he also said that he had "not done anything wrong".

Either become the president or become a prisoner?

This is the fourth time since this year that Trump has faced criminal charges.

Previously, he was criminally charged three times for paying a "sealing fee" to Yanxing during his first presidential campaign, mishandling confidential documents when stepping down, and being suspected of interfering in the 2020 US election. According to US media reports, if all charges are convicted and "severely punished," Trump will face up to 641 years in prison.

But will Trump really sit down and wear it?

Not necessarily. According to US law, even those who have been convicted and are serving sentences are eligible to run for president, and the US Constitution does not explicitly state that the president cannot self pardon.

Experts have analyzed that as long as Trump can successfully be elected president, he can theoretically pardon himself. So now for Trump, either he becomes the President of the United States or he serves his sentence in prison.

But it is also believed that whether Trump can self pardon is still unknown.

The US presidential pardon only applies to federal crimes, which means that if Trump becomes president and is convicted in Georgia or New York, he will not be able to pardon himself.

Another analyst suggests that if a candidate who has been sued multiple times and paid high bail can be elected president and self pardoned, the political turmoil in the United States will add another layer of uncertainty.

Is it called surrender, but it's actually a show?

Now it seems that after Trump was accused, his supporters have actually increased. On the 24th local time, after more than two and a half years of silence on American social media Twitter, Trump posted again. Just 5 hours after the post was published, it gained 61 million views, even more so than in the past.


Another political show?, Trump surrenders himself

The most prominent feature of this post is the "suspect's big head photo" taken by Trump during his surrender period at Fulton County Prison in Georgia. The text on the picture records the date he went to surrender and the charge of "overturning the election results", with the words "never surrender!".

It is interesting that the word "surrender" in English also has the meaning of "surrender", which seems to imply Trump's attitude towards "surrender".

In addition, Trump also attached his own website, click on it, and you can donate to the Save America Political Action Committee to support Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.

After being sued for "sealing fees," Trump received nearly $4 million in donations overnight. Currently, Trump's lead in the Republican primary of the 2024 presidential election is increasing, while his competitor, De Santis, has seen a significant decline in support. Another poll shows that 58% of Republican primary voters believe Trump is more likely to defeat Biden.

This "surrender" is also likely another political show in which Trump self hyped and gained support.

Will American politics enter a dangerous period in the future?

Trump may be the winner of his surrender, but American politics is the loser.

Lawyer Liu Longzhu, who appeared in the US federal court and California High Court, believes that the four charges against Trump can be seen as a settlement, and this behavior has also pushed the United States to the edge of a political cliff. Trump is determined to portray himself as a victim of a "weaponized" government and use his campaign as a means of defense, which means the future may be a period full of controversy and even danger.

No matter what verdict the jury and voters ultimately make on Trump, the rift between the two parties in the United States will deepen. In the future, American politics may move towards judicial politicization, which involves using the judiciary as a weapon to intervene in political struggles. The cost is that American society will become increasingly torn apart, and the relatively most credible judicial system will eventually lose the trust of the people.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
