Clearly frustrated by the situation, Trump criticized the trial as &#8220;a weaponization of government&#8221; and &#8220;an embarrassment to New York.&#8221; According to the New York Post, Merchan, a Democrat, made a somewhat sarcastic remark during the proceedings: \u201cSir, I wish you Godspeed as you assume a second term in office.\u201d Not wanting Merchan to have the last laugh, Trump took to social media to denounce every aspect of the case and take jabs at his Democratic opponents.

Furthermore, he argued there was no crime or evidence in this case\u2014only an overly biased judge and unreliable witnesses\u2014and expressed hope for restoring faith in \u201cour once great System of Justice.\u201d Concluding his remarks with his signature phrase in all caps: \u201cMAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d The ruling came just ten days before Trump&#8217;s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2388960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-13.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[48297,5387,32869,32171,3634],"class_list":["post-2388959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-criminal-ruling","tag-judge","tag-legal-battle","tag-political-commentary","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-13.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2388959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2388959"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2388959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2388963,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2388959\/revisions\/2388963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2388960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2388959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2388959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2388959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
