39% : "Friday's post responding to the sentencing is not the only time that Trump has directly said he'll appeal.
38% : As the American People have seen, this 'case' had no crime, no damages, no proof, no facts, no Law, only a highly conflicted Judge, a star witness who is a disbarred, disgraced, serial perjurer, and criminal Election Interference," Trump continued, reminding how he still handily won last November, despite or perhaps even in part because of all this weaponization against him.
26% : Judge Juan Merchan, who has also been criticized for his conflicts of interest, insisted on still sentencing Trump, and the Supreme Court declined to block such a move.
26% : After spending tens of millions of dollars, wasting over 6 years of obsessive work that should have been spent on protecting New Yorkers from violent, rampant crime that is destroying the City and State, coordinating with the Biden/Harris Department of Injustice in lawless Weaponization, and bringing completely baseless, illegal, and fake charges against your 45th and 47th President, ME, I was given an UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE," Trump began, highlighting the "obsessive work" at play here.
