'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.

You ignorant ass. He didn’t bang a porn star. He is a famous germaphobe. The porn star was playing ghetto lotto because she met with him to try to get on one of his reality shows. She has admitted in several sworn statements and others that they did not bang.

He did not talk about grabbing women by the pussy in public. It was locker room language, one on one with a man, secretly recorded. And he was discussing the head shaking mentality of how women act around very wealthy men, but then ESPECIALLY around men in the entertainment industry.

NDA’s are used by everyone above a certain level when the blackmailer will accept something far below the threshold of his pain, expense and nuisance level. Stormy grifted 2 weeks before an election. For .000016% of his wealth, she was willing to go away. For a man making 100k a year, that would be like a blackmailer accepting 1.6 cents to go away. By the way, HE did not pay it or sign any deal.

Speaking of being a bore. Lemme Guess, you like Haley, Graham, and Scott.

Nice try sport.

It’s not a matter of disagreement. This is a pivotal point in our Republic’s survival. We are on the verge of becoming a banana republic that arrests their political opponents and you feel it’s necessary to take shots at the victim.

You should be pissed and focusing your attention on the abuse of power by those who are weaponizing government against those they oppose.

Like it or not Trump is our “Army”, and as they say, “You don’t go to war with the Army you want, you go to war with the Army you have.”

It doesn’t matter what Trump did. The Democrats were always going to indict him no matter what. This is what you don’t understand.

We all knew that in NY, just as in D.C., the Judges are all in on the Fix/Deep State, and no fairness is ever the issue. Even Appeals throughout the Courts will be pointless, as even the USSC is compromised and partisan.

The USA no longer exists, and the New World Order rules us without justice available legally, anywhere, except in your hometown, possibly.

Sounds like a good reason to have the trial moved by “change of venue”

Don't cloud the issue with reason.......

HOW do you get a New York Judge to allow a "Change of Venue"? Move it to D.C, ?

Do you have any proof he was “banging porn stars?”

Why don’t you spend your time supporting the rule of law and fighting against weaponization of government and election interference instead of using your keyboard to repeat unproven allegations against the leader of MAGA as if they were proven facts.

Kind of selling the drama there.

I think the indictment is politically motivated.

I believe there are abuses of power that could begin being rectified with substantial cuts to the Fed at almost all levels.

My point was that not being a human piece of excrement that allegedly bangs porn stars while wife is in hospital, factually has them paid off, saying you can grab women by the pussy, and being a total bore avoids giving you enemies the rope to hang you with.

If you don’t want to be accused of being a murderer, then you shouldn’t post FR.

Two is nowhere near enough.

The hag has a US Military enabled installed Commander in Chief Brandon to deal with from the D scum team.

As for the R Swamp team,
It’s Trump.

That’s what makes it just the opposite of brutal.

It’s a great chance for the people to give a middle finger again to the Bush, Cheney,McCain, Romney wing of the Scum R team
