'He HATES me!' Furious Trump slams judge who will preside over Manhattan hush money trial - the same man who found his family business guilty of fraud - as he awaits arraignment

* Trump, 76, was indicted on fraud charges last night by a Manhattan grand jury

* He will travel to New York to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon

* Attorney Joe Tacopina says he won't be handcuffs - but may be perp-walked

*************************************************************

After recovering from the 'initial shock' of a grand jury indictment against him, President Trump is now raging about the judge who is expected to preside over the case.

Trump, 76, will be arraigned in Manhattan at 2.15pm on Tuesday on an array of business fraud charges relating to 2016 hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

He has denied any wrongdoing, and says he is the victim of a politically-motivated witch hunt led by the famously Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Yesterday, Judge Juan Merchan was spotted arriving at the Manhattan criminal courthouse in casual clothes last night flanked by two security officers, leading many to believe that he has been chosen for the case.

Merchan previously presided over the Trump Organization fraud trial, where the family business was fined $1.2million on a range of charges.

On Friday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to complain that Merchan 'hates' him and had been 'handpicked' by Bragg and his cronies.

I’d love to watch your circus trick of walking on water, while pretending to be a moral accountant

It’s the State of NY. The only change of venue would be upstate somewhere.

“anecdotally showered with his young daughter.“

Yeah that’s just Joe, right ? Well his daughter is a sick, emotional train wreck. Way to minimize having a corrupt evil creep as POTUS.

Here is an excellent way to avoid these types of things:
-DON’T bang porn ‘stars’
-DON’T talk about grabbing women by their nethers publicly
-DON’T have multiple affairs requiring NDAs and payoffs
-DON’T be a bore and act like the world is against you when called on it


If you held all politicians to this "standard" of behavior, you would have to get rid of a huge percentage of public servants at every level of government, and not just in these days but for ALL of human history.

Why are you talking about Joe Scarborough in a thread about Trump?

Sorry — but you are just full of crap.

In my neck of the woods we have seen Amish farmers facing criminal prosecution for — well, FARMING.

There isn’t any competent adult in America today who is more harmless than an Amish farmer … and yet here we are.
