Donald Trump Honored as ‘Man of Decade,’ Tells Crowd: ‘I’m Being Indicted for You’; Trump Widens Lead in Republican Primary Thanks to Second Indictment
By Rolling Stone. While accepting the Oakland County GOP’s “Man of the Decade” award, Donald Trump spoke of a different honor: being indicted.
“Every time the radical left Democrats, Marxists, communists, and fascists indict me, I consider it a great badge of honor and badge of courage. I consider it both. Essentially, I’m being indicted for you,” Trump told the gathered crowd. The former president has been indicted twice since leaving office in 2021 — once related to an alleged hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, and once for alleged mishandling of highly sensitive classified information.
“Two weeks ago, Joe Biden ordered his top political opponent to be arrested,” Trump said, adding, “That’s me! … Arrested on fake and fabricated charges right in the middle of a presidential election in which Biden is losing by a lot.”
“This is a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time,” Trump added. (Read more from “Donald Trump Honored as ‘Man of Decade,’ Tells Crowd: ‘I’m Being Indicted for You’” HERE)

Trump Widens Lead in Republican Primary Thanks to Second Indictment
By Washington Examiner. Former President Donald Trump has grown even more popular among Republican voters for the 2024 nomination in the wake of his federal indictment this month.
Charges of willful retention of classified documents and obstruction of justice related to his possession of top-secret materials at his Mar-a-Lago estate helped Mr. Trump expand his lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in an NBC News poll released Sunday.
The survey showed that 51% of Republican primary voters chose Mr. Trump as their top candidate, with Mr. DeSantis trailing at just 22%. The results mark a 5 percentage-point increase for Mr. Trump and a 9 percentage-point decrease for Mr. DeSantis compared to a similar NBC News poll in April.
A Real Clear Politics average of recent polls show Mr. Trump is in the lead by more than 30 percentage points, at roughly 52%, compared to Mr. DeSantis’ 21.5%.
Mr. Trump pleaded not guilty in a Miami courthouse this month to the 37 charges related to his handling of classified documents after leaving office. (Read more from “Trump Widens Lead in Republican Primary Thanks to Second Indictment” HERE)
