Tim Scott\u2019s interview with Shannon Bream took place on \u201cFox News Sunday.\u201d An earlier version of this article stated the day incorrectly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Democratic fever dream of tagging Donald Trump as a convicted felon is turning into a nightmarish reality.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has last week\u2019s kangaroo court conviction backfired into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-raises-millions-unbelievable-donation-haul-just-24-hours-verdict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bonanza of fundraising<\/a> for the former president, but even former \u201cNeverTrumpers\u201d are abandoning their fence-sitting to come onto Trump\u2019s side, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott said Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>And the former presidential contender knows exactly why:<\/p>\n<p>The issues that have dogged President Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous term in office haven\u2019t gone away, Scott told Fox News\u2019 Shannon Bream on \u201cFox News Sunday.\u201d And the \u201ctwo-tiered justice system\u201d that was put on display during Trump\u2019s trial in Manhattan have made clear how dangerous the Democratic lust for power is to every American.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Our country is ready for success \u2014 we are ready for Donald J.

The piece noted the need for Trump to get the support of Americans who might not like him, \u201cbut think a second Biden term would be even worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about campaigning on policy and reaching out to those folks directly?\u201d Bream asked.<\/p>\n<p>Scott, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/developing-donald-trump-provides-real-time-reviews-potential-vp-candidates-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potential Trump running mate<\/a>, was ready.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Will last week&#8217;s conviction hurt Trump&#8217;s campaign?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWithout any question, what we\u2019ve seen is \u2018Never-Trumpers\u2019 calling me and saying, \u2018Tim, I\u2019m on the bandwagon now. I\u2019ve seen this two-tiered justice system working against the president of the United States. It could work against me, too,\u2019\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen donors who\u2019ve been on the sidelines this entire process now jumping in \u2014 one of the reasons why we saw more than $50 million raised in 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe flaws in the Trump trial were evident to even the untrained eye \u2014 considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/judge-juan-merchan-hit-official-ethics-complaint-accused-judicial-misconduct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nakedly biased judge<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/alvin-braggs-top-trump-prosecutor-comes-official-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">politicized prosecution<\/a>, Eichmann probably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/10\/14\/opinions\/adolf-eichmann-trial-anniversary-honig\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">got a fairer hearing<\/a> in Jerusalem. It was so bad that\u00a0George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/legal-expert-jonathan-turley-provides-ray-hope-trump-guilty-verdict-case-will-reversed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has all but predicted<\/a> the conviction will be reversed on appeal.<\/p>\n<p>But the travesty itself also brought home to many Americans, Scott said, that the prostitution of the law to service political ends doesn\u2019t have to stop with Trump. It can reach anyone, anywhere, who stands against the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, for all that it gratified the Trump-deranged psychopaths at MSNBC and the highest echelons of the Democratic Party, the trial changed nothing of the facts on the ground about Biden\u2019s inexcusably incompetent administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issues that are going to drive the results of this Nov. 5 election will be, can Donald Trump close the southern border? The answer is he already has closed the southern border,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan he bring inflation down under 2 percent? The answer is it was 1.4 percent when he left office. Can he create jobs for the poorest Americans? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-happening-trump-up-7-points-in-final-selzer-iowa-poll-latest-states-poll-has-trump-up-322-to-216-for-biden-in-national-electoral-college\/\" title=\"IT'S HAPPENING: Trump Up 7 Points in Final Selzer Iowa Poll -- Latest States Poll Has Trump Up 322 to 216 for Biden in National Electoral College\">good news<\/a> is he created more than 7 million jobs with the highest percentage going to women, African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It should be pointed out here that Scott misspoke to some extent. It wasn\u2019t Trump himself that made inflation bearable when he was in office. It wasn\u2019t Trump waving a magic wand that \u201ccreated\u201d millions of jobs. What it was was the Trump administration\u2019s commitment to the economic liberty that built the United States.<\/p>\n<p>When Americans miss Trump, they\u2019re missing the man, of course, but they\u2019re really missing an administration committed to American success.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the full interview here:<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2018NO DOUBT\u2019: Trump verdict \u2018unified our party\u2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uu2b0WNrhC4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Trump supporters are supporters of Donald Trump, of course. But more importantly, they\u2019re supporters of the nation created by the Founding Fathers \u2014 the single country that has done more for its people and the globe than any government in history, simply by working the way it should.<\/p>\n<p>In the Biden administration, by contrast, the country is burdened with a shell of a president beholden to a party that\u2019s committed itself to sapping the nation\u2019s strengths in the cause of a warped leftist ideology. After more than three years, the results are depressingly familiar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we know about four years under Donald Trump is we had low unemployment, low inflation, high enthusiasm, law and order in our streets. And we\u2019ve had the exact opposite under Joe Biden,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-scott-sees-trumps-post-conviction-support-growing-and-knows-exactly-why-its-happening\/\" title=\"Tim Scott Observes Trump's Rising Support After Conviction \u2013 Understanding the Reasons\">incredibly crushing inflation leading<\/a> to high interest rates, crime in the poorest communities, devastating single mothers like the one that raised me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Americans of all political stripes understand that. And Trump\u2019s conviction <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lara-trump-nails-nyc-criminal-case-not-donald-trump-truly-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a show trial<\/a> that would have embarrassed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyonthenet.com\/lavrentiy-beria-the-ruthless-enforcer-of-stalins-reign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lavrentiy Beria<\/a> hasn\u2019t changed anything.<\/p>\n<p>Throw in the international scene and things are even worse for Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Through a combination of weakness and ineptitude, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/worse-obamas-red-line-biden-gives-putin-green-light-invade-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essentially invited<\/a> the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>In the Middle East, Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-hours-after-trumps-def-sec-warns-iran-airstrike-obliterates-iranian-general-dep-militia-cmdr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hard line on Iran<\/a> and open, unalloyed<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ivanka-trump-celebrates-fulfilled-promise-second-anniversary-jerusalem-embassy-opening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> friendship with Israel<\/a> had peace breaking out in unexpected directions.<\/p>\n<p>With Biden in the White House, Islamist terrorists backed by Iran felt free to launch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/graphic-video-israeli-rescuer-releases-footage-music-festival-massacre-aftermath-counter-unprecedented-denial-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most murderous raid<\/a> on world Jewry since the Holocaust, and Biden is too terrified of losing re-election to stand by the Israeli government.<\/p>\n<p>More than anything else, Thursday\u2019s conviction of Donald Trump, and his looming sentence in July, has exposed the brutality of the Democratic quest to hold onto the White House as an exercise is painting power for its own sake.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve have the power of the executive branch in the form of Joe Biden for more than three years, and the country has reaped nothing but misery from the experience. No kangaroo court is going to change that. And in the six months between now and the November election, Democrats don\u2019t have time to change even if they wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>By now, it\u2019s clear, this is who they really are. Maybe Politico can report on that sometime.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Make no mistake \u2014 nothing will be the same after November 2024.
