Donald J. Trump is a person that has a reputation that people either like or dislike there is no in-between. There are many strong feelings towards Trump. Just as many people hate him the same amount love him at a time the country was divided by this opinion.
Many would say “I don’t get into politics” when asked if they support Trump. This is a result of trying to avoid the detrimental effects that come with discussing Trump. He has done many things that are very unforgivable for many people and seems to get away with a slap on the wrist.
Trump’s Previous Trouble in the Media
As many know Donald Trump and remember him for different reasons the main thing recalled about him is his recent troubles in the media.
In the past Trump has been accused of sexual assault by 25 different women plus misogyny toward many others. One of the victims was a journalist named E. Jean Carrol. In her civil rape trial against Donald Trump, Carroll took the witness stand and described the day she claims he pushed her into a dressing room and began an “extremely painful” assault.
The judge expressed his disapproval of Trump’s postings and demanded he refrains from blogging on the case. Carrol says she was hurt by the comments he would make about her. Trump would comment on her looks saying that she was “too ugly to rape.”
Many things he has said on the internet have been offensive to many and are one of the major reasons why he is heavily disliked.
His most recent trouble was when he was accused of stealing classified documents. This scandal was everywhere and continued to stay in the media for months.
Donald Trump has been known to be constant in socials. The most known one was Twitter until he was banned “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.” Even after Trump was still very active on social media. Donald Trump has been posting incessantly on his Truth Social page, but online support for public protests is unfocused, disorganized, and muted. Instead, Trump supporters are driving a different narrative: that any public events are a trap set by law enforcement and will likely result in protesters being arrested.
Trump’s Arrest
Donald Trump is currently in lots of trouble for allegedly illegally paying Michael Cohen for Stormy Daniel’s hush money. Covering up a crime is a felony, so Trump is now in big trouble. The investigation began while Trump was still in the White House. He has been charged with 34 separate violations of the law. The law prohibits fabricating company documents to hide another crime. If correct, Trump could face up to four years in state jail and a $5,000 fine.
Michael Cohen acknowledged paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 to prevent her from revealing an affair. Trump has rejected an invitation to speak before the Manhattan grand jury and has denied having an affair with the woman.
The indictment claims that despite the fact that there was no such retainer agreement and Cohen provided no services in 2017, the Trump Organization paid Cohen back through monthly checks as a legal retainer in 2017. Trump personally endorsed nine of the checks.
According to New York law, the prosecution has one month to submit evidence to Trump’s defense team. After, the court scheduled a hearing for motions. Trump is free to continue his campaign, and his next court hearing is set for December 4 — two months before the Iowa caucuses.
Results of Trump’s Arrest
So did Donald Trump finally get caught? Did he get what he deserves? Well, the case is going to go on for a while and the punishment for his crimes is still minor yet again. Some may say he will never get the critical punishment he deserves because of his power in the political world.
