The Spin

Democratic narrative

Beyond the clear evidence against him, including his former lawyer serving prison time for facilitating this exact hush money payment, Donald Trump is terrified of this case as he has absolutely no control over the process. His fate is now in the hands of a New York jury, and no bombastic tweet or press conference can expel that reality.

Pro-Trump narrative

Each and every criminal case against Trump is as farcical and politically motivated as the next. This spectacle is based on low-level misdemeanor charges that Alvin Bragg — who openly campaigned on going after Trump — unashamedly decided to elevate to felonies. The political nature of this case is the same in the Georgia and DOJ investigations. Americans are witnessing their ruling elites rewrite the rules with no fear of retribution.
