Donald Trump: ‘I Am the Political Prisoner of a Failing Nation’ (VIDEO)
Former President Donald Trump described himself as being “the political prisoner of a failing nation,” days after a Manhattan jury found him guilty in his business records trial.
Trump posted a video on Truth Social on Tuesday, highlighting how November 5th was “the most important day in the history of our country.”
The video from the former president comes almost a week after a jury found him guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer and attorney, had made to adult actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
“I am the political prisoner of a failing nation,” Trump began. “But, I will soon be free, on November 5th, the most important day in the history of our country. And, we will together, make America great again. Thank you.”
