Former US President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility of being imprisoned or placed under house arrest, saying he is "okay with it" days after his historic hush money trial conviction.
The Spin
The scandalous and unprecedented verdict against Trump is the latest proof that the US justice system is broken. However, Americans have a keen sense of justice, which is why the politically manufactured trial against Biden's primary political opponent will backfire on Democrats. Trump is the victim of selective prosecution, and he has every reason to believe that a prison sentence would improve rather than worsen his presidential prospects.
Trump is well advised to prepare for jail time or house arrest after being found guilty in the historic trial. Ironically, the very man who constantly claims to be a champion of law and order is now a convicted felon. Likewise, it's reckless for Trump to claim the trial was rigged while, as president, he would destroy the US justice system and undermine democracy. Americans understand that Trump is threatening the very idea of America, and this should benefit Biden.
