AfterĀ Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in Manhattan on Thursday, his estranged niece has said he should āabsolutelyā go to jail.
The former president and presumptive 2024Ā Republican presidential nominee was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money payment made to adult film actressĀ Stormy Daniels during his 2016 election campaign. Trump, who pleaded not guilty, andĀ his allies have repeatedly called the case a form of election interference and, following the juryās verdict, condemned prosecutors and Judge Juan Merchan.
NowĀ Mary Trumpādaughter of Fred Trump Jr.āhas weighed in on the situation. She is aĀ frequent criticĀ of the former president and has publicly criticized him over everything from hisĀ potential second termĀ to hisĀ family history.
There are a lot of things that should happen, but we live in a world with a tiered ājusticeā system.
Heās in the untouchable tier where you only ever face consequences for commiting the absolute penultimate major super ultra evil act of messing with rich peoples money. Anything less and he just gets a slap on the wrist and a stern ādonāt do it again or weāll be disappointed.ā
Unfortunately the only thing I see coming out of this is MORE funding for his campaignā¦
I genuinely believe that the only reason heās escaped consequences so far is because the rich have money tied up with him somehow.
