To surrender during the "golden viewing period", Trump

Release time:Apr 15, 2024 11:56 AM

"Going to jail" seems to be detrimental to Trump,

But in reality, it is a big game of multiple interests.

"A white male, 6 feet 3 inches tall, 215 pounds, with blonde or strawberry hair and blue eyes." The identity information appearing on the Fulton County Prison website in Georgia, USA, describes a suspect facing 13 charges.

This person is former US President Donald Trump, who has just surrendered to prison.

On the evening of August 24th, local time, after arriving at Fulton County Prison, Trump was officially taken into custody, including security checks, handling procedures in the lobby, taking photos of the suspect's head, and collecting fingerprints. "This is a very sad day for the United States," he said.

20 minutes in prison

"Can you believe it? I will be heading to Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday and will be arrested by radical left-wing prosecutor Fanny Willis." Before surrendering, Trump made this statement, as if it were a "tragedy" and a mobilization for supporters.

As the former owner of the White House, Trump's visit to Fulton County Prison, where he surrendered himself, is notorious and can be called a "black prison". The equipment there is dilapidated and poorly managed, often resulting in inexplicable deaths of prisoners. Just a month ago, three prisoners died in this prison.

Fulton County Police Department did not dare to neglect Trump's "visit" and issued a statement: "In order to ensure the personal safety of this former US president, we will closely monitor this prison before Trump goes to" surrender "."

Facing the prospect of imprisonment, Trump did not show any fear. After all, this is the fourth time he has been criminally charged since stepping down as president.

Moreover, Trump did not actually go to jail. After paying a bail of $200000, he was released and only stayed in prison for about 20 minutes. This is equivalent to just going through the motions. After completing the relevant procedures, he left the prison and the convoy headed to Atlanta Airport.

After his release, Trump gave a brief speech: "I didn't do anything wrong. We have every right to challenge elections that we consider dishonest."

Or that election

The "dishonest election" that Trump described after his release was the reason for his criminal prosecution on August 14th.

In the 2020 presidential election, Trump lost to Democratic presidential candidate Biden in Georgia by less than 12000 votes.

·On November 3, 2020, people watched the real-time vote counting results of the presidential election in Times Square, New York.

In early January 2021, American media exposed a telephone recording of a conversation between Trump and Georgia's Secretary of State for Election Counting, Rafael Speiger. Trump is pressuring the other party to "find" more votes.

Trump said, "So you see, I just want to do this, I just want to find 11780 votes, so we can win an extra state."

It was this phone call that initiated over two years of investigation by Fulton County District Prosecutor Willis in Georgia. On August 14th of this year, he filed charges against Trump and 18 others for "participating in a conspiracy to sabotage the 2020 Georgia presidential election." He charged 13 serious crimes, including extortion, false statements, inciting public officials to violate the constitution, and forging written materials.

The indictment states that the defendant refused to accept the fact of Trump's defeat, but did not question the election according to Georgia's legal procedures. Instead, they openly used illegal means to attempt to change the election results.

"In addition, the defendant is also suspected of providing false testimony to members of Congress claiming 'election fraud'; pressuring local state election officials to break their oaths and change election results; disrupting the election system in a county in Georgia; harassing election tellers; conspiring to falsely report electoral lists..."

At the same time as filing the lawsuit, Willis ordered all defendants in this case to surrender before noon on August 25th.

"Never surrender"

Trump decided to surrender himself and chose to arrive at Fulton County Prison on the evening of August 24th. When getting off the plane, he gave a thumbs up to the camera. After surrendering, he posted a post on his personal social media account with a big picture of himself, accompanied by a sentence: "Never surrender!"

Analysis suggests that Trump chose to surrender at this time in order to facilitate prime time live broadcasts by major US television stations, shape his "fair and upright" and "law-abiding" image, and gain more support within and outside the party.

This indicates that Trump did not really intend to admit his crimes, but rather took the opportunity to perform, gain popularity, and build momentum for the 2024 elections - statistics show that Trump's approval rating is directly proportional to the number of accusations he faces. The more times he is accused, the more "iron fans" support him.

To surrender during the "golden viewing period", Trump

Trump and his supporters not only refuse to accept the accusations of "interfering in elections", but are also determined to "kill" them. He himself referred to the four criminal charges he faced as "interference in elections". Trump has always claimed to be the winner of the 2020 election, accusing Biden of "stealing" his presidency.

In the eyes of many Americans, the judicial disputes that Trump suffered were handled by Democrats behind the scenes, with the aim of depriving him of his eligibility to run for president. Legally, judges can cite the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution's "disqualification clause" to prohibit Trump from running on the grounds of "participating in rebellion or rebellion.".

In the view of Trump supporters, when Trump surrenders, there will inevitably be voices in the public opinion that "Trump has already surrendered, and Biden and the Democratic Party are still going to kill each other.". This precisely confirms what he said, that this is the Democratic Party's "political persecution" against him, shaping their own victim image and winning more sympathy and support from voters.

Some election experts in the United States argue that "going to jail" may seem detrimental to Trump, but it is actually a game of multiple interests - Trump's consecutive criminal charges may further exacerbate the political and social divide in the United States, making opponents more opposed to him, but those who support him will also be more supportive of him.

The best part is still to come

The highlights of this political show are still to be seen.

The Georgia court where Trump will be tried in the future will have a relatively open trial, and it is expected that the case will be broadcast live on television from the pre-trial stage onwards. That is to say, Trump will become the first former president in American history to be tried live streaming.

Trump didn't seem to think it was a bad thing, but instead joked, "I guess the prosecutor thinks I'm in danger of 'running away' - I'll fly far away, maybe to Russia, live with Russian President Putin in a golden dome suite, and no one will see or hear from me again."

If Trump wins the election and loses the lawsuit, will there be a spectacle of the president going to jail? Can he be granted amnesty? Experts say that even if Trump wins next year's presidential election, he will not be able to enjoy the powers granted to him by the federal system in Georgia. That is to say, he cannot self pardon or request the prosecution to withdraw the lawsuit.

"The biggest feature of this case is that Trump was prosecuted for violating state laws, and the president does not have the authority to pardon him. Even if a Republican is elected president, Trump cannot be exempted," said Cheng Shaoming, director of Taihe Taihe Washington Law Firm, to Global Times reporters.

Cheng Shaoming said, "This case has brought some new challenges to the US legal system, including whether the President has the right to comment on the former President's case, whether the former President's state prosecution has an impact on the law, and so on, all of which are unprecedented."

The trial date for Trump is set for October 23, 2023, when the temperature of the US presidential election will further rise. This scene is becoming increasingly lively.

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. 【
