The Facts

  • Former US president Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility of being imprisoned or placed under house arrest saying he is "OK with it" days after his historic conviction.

  • In an interview with Fox News aired on Sunday Trump said he advised his lawyers not to “beg for anything,” but warned that his followers may reach “breaking point” if he is sentenced to prison.


The Spin

The scandalous and unprecedented verdict against former US President Trump is the latest proof that the US justice system is broken. However, Americans have a keen sense of justice, and that is why the politically fabricated trial of Biden's main political opponent will backfire on Democrats. Trump is the victim of selective prosecution, and Trump is well aware that a prison sentence is more likely to enhance his presidential prospects than diminish them.
