Political persecution or show off?, Trump surrenders to the United States in the "Black Jail" | Trump | Politics

Release time:Apr 15, 2024 11:23 AM

On the evening of the 24th local time, Trump, dressed in a dark blue suit and wearing a red tie, arrived at Fulton Prison in Georgia and surrendered himself.

This is the fourth time since 2023 that this former US president has faced criminal charges.

What will he face this time?

Charged with 13 charges,

Will Trump receive "special treatment"?

"Do you believe it? I will be heading to Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday and will be arrested by radical left-wing district prosecutor Fanny Willis." Trump announced on social media a few days ago.

On August 14th, a grand jury in Atlanta, Georgia filed criminal charges against Trump and 18 other defendants. The jury believes that these 19 individuals are "suspected of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 Georgia presidential election.".

Among them, Trump was charged with 13 serious crimes, including:

Extortion

Instigating public officials to violate their oaths

Conspiracy to make false statements

Conspiracy to forge written materials, etc

The other 18 defendants are involved in 41 charges.

It is worth noting that Trump surrendered himself to Fulton Prison in Georgia this time.

According to American media, Fulton Prison is known as the "black prison", which is not only overcrowded and poorly hygienic, but also occasionally experiences bizarre incidents of prisoner deaths.

Although Trump has reached an agreement with prosecutors to pay $200000 on bail to avoid imprisonment, he will also complete a series of "surrender" procedures in the prison.

Sources say that Trump's lawyers are seeking some "special treatment", such as exemption from being photographed by "suspects," but Fulton County Sheriff Patrabat said he hopes to treat Trump and 19 other defendants like other defendants. This means that when they surrender, they will be photographed and fingerprints taken.

Even before Trump surrendered himself, roadblocks had already been set up around Fulton County Court and are expected to continue until the 26th. Law enforcement officers from law enforcement agencies, the Sheriff's Office, and the Atlanta police have also deployed patrol police forces here.

Facing criminal charges for the fourth time,

Does Trump have a chance to "pardon" himself?

This is the fourth time Trump has faced criminal charges in 2023.

On March 30th, the Manhattan Grand Jury voted to bring criminal charges against Trump for paying a "sealing fee" to a pornographic star during his first presidential campaign.

On April 9th, the US Department of Justice released an indictment accusing Trump of 37 felonies for mishandling confidential documents when he stepped down.

On August 1st, Jack Smith, a special prosecutor at the US Department of Justice, charged Trump with interfering in the 2020 US election.

According to the Political News Network of the United States, Trump's three criminal cases have accumulated nearly a hundred felony charges. If convicted of all charges and sentenced to the highest penalty, he will face up to 641 years in prison.

Will Trump really be "brought to justice"?

"It does not prohibit anyone who is prosecuted, convicted, or even serving a sentence from running for president and winning the presidency," said Richard Hasson, an expert in election law and a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles

Special Prosecutor Smith of the US Department of Justice has stated that he will seek a "swift trial" of the election interference case he is responsible for. If Trump is elected before the end of the trial, he may have control over the Department of Justice and this case may be dismissed.

According to expert analysis, as long as Trump is elected president, even if he has been convicted and sentenced by the time the election results come out, he can still choose to "self pardon".

CNN reported that whether the president can self pardon is still an unresolved issue, as no US president has attempted it yet. However, the US Constitution does not explicitly prohibit it.

The more accused you are, the more support you have

Political persecution or show off?

Trump has repeatedly stated that the accusations against him are "political persecution" driven by political motives.

In response to the Saskatchewan case, he questioned, "Why didn't they sue two and a half years ago?" He believed that this was to hinder his path to the 2024 election campaign.

However, polls show that Trump's approval rating has not been weakened by the accusations, but may actually benefit from them. 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.

The accusations brought a lot of exposure to Trump, even uniting voters around him. Recently, in a New York Times/Siena College poll, 58% of Republican primary voters believed that Trump was more likely to defeat Biden, while only 28% of respondents chose De Santis.

After being sued for the first time in the "sealing fee" case, Trump received nearly $4 million in donations overnight. Some argue that the support of most donors is based on sympathy for Trump's political persecution.

Is Trump aware of this effect? The Guardian reported in the 22nd that sources have indicated that Trump chose to "surrender" during the prime time on the 24th in order to increase his exposure. This "surrender" may be another showcase of Trump's self marketing and support.

Running back and forth between the election and the court

Will the path of the election be affected?

On the evening of the 23rd local time, the Republican Party held its first debate in the 2024 presidential primary, with Trump absent.

He had previously intended to skip the debate and stated that he was considering a proposal to hold a separate event during the debate or later that evening. And surrendering to prison before the 24th has become, in a sense, a solitary activity later on.

Trump said on social media, "Everyone knows who I am and how successful my presidency was." He emphasized in capital letters, "So, I won't participate in the debate!"

Trump's spokesperson did not clarify whether he will be absent from every primary debate in the future or only this debate. If he shuttles back and forth between the election and the court in the future, Trump's campaign path will inevitably be affected.

Trump and his team may also be unable to grasp the direction of things. From a narrow perspective, domestic politics in the United States is like an unstoppable carriage, taking increasingly off course. If a candidate who has been sued several times and paid high bail can be elected president and self pardoned, it will undoubtedly add another unsettled account to the political turmoil in the United States.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

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. 【
