The prosecution of Donald Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg won’t dim his political chances — and could actually boost his campaign to retake the White House, supporters and bitter foes alike said Saturday.
“Alvin Bragg’s political prosecution is going to make President Trump stronger,” former GOP congressman and New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin told The Post.
Even “independent-minded general election voters” could gain sympathy for the embattled Trump as the case over a years-old hush-money payment drags on through the 2024 presidential primaries and beyond, Zeldin said.
“Many of them are already raising significant concerns about this indictment and expressing how they believe this is a political prosecution,” he said.
The swirling legal drama stems from accusations that Trump illegally hid hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels over an alleged affair — which Trump heatedly denies — and the ensuing outrage over the historic indictment may well play to his political strengths.

They are the same enemies that legacy US citizens face.
It is the foundation of his support.
The more those enemies attack him, the stronger our support, because we are well aware that we are next on the menu.
This is why, I fear, their next move is to take him out with a bullet or poison cup. They maybe setting up an Iranian patsy now to take the fall—Like Kennedy, a classic double hit. IF he should die in any accident or illness, we know it will be Deep State Murder.
Miracles happen for democrats at 2am on November 5th, in the ballot box. Santa drops by to deliver 200,000 to 500,000 new votes from out of his a$$.
We still have the Second Amendment.
Even if it got zotted, you know what’s “behind every blade of grass”.
Agree with the headline.
They’ve turned over a rock they should NOT have turned over!
I doubt the really believe this helps Trump.
I doubt the left really believe this helps Trump.
They don’t believe it but overall it scares to poop out of everyone when they see the dems will stop at nothing to control all of us. Next step includes camps and ovens for those left that love America.
Trump really stepped in it this time!
It’s all over for him now!
Walls are closing in!
Never forget that Elon said it would make him stronger. And Elon owns Twitter now.
Any bets on when DJT comes back now?
The question is how fast do they want to proceed with this? Have it still hanging over Trump's head in 2024? Or have a conviction in 2023 and he would campaign in 2024 while the appeals process makes it way through the courts?
Can the judge impose a gag order on Trump? Or tell him that he can't leave Manhattan (just like George Zimmerman was not allowed to leave the county in Florida where he lived)? He might order Trump to surrender his passport--just for humiliation's sake (to make it appear that Trump might try to flee the country).
