Lawyers for former US President Donald Trump have tried to reduce this Wednesday the attacks launched by the former president after hearing the charges brought against him by the judge in New York. Trump not only played the victim, but turned his statements into a whole campaign rally. In addition, he has sent a clear message: he is a victim and Judge Juan Merchán is not impartial because he “hates” him. “I have a judge who hates Trump with a wife and family who hate Trump,” he said.

And a few hours later, the former president’s lawyer had no choice but to go out and put out this fire. Lawyer Joe Tacopina has assured on NBC that “it is not an attack on the judge or his family”: “No one is suggesting that something should happen to the judge or to his family.” A family to which his son Donald Trump Junior has directly pointed out on social networks, posting a photo of the judge’s daughter. She is accused of having collaborated in the Biden-Harris campaign.

Donald Junior himself was at the appearance wrapping up his father, along with 400 other guests at Mar-a-Lago. Among the notorious absences, those of his daughter Ivanka, whom he did mention, and also that of his wife Melania Trump. But he did not dedicate his appearance to exposing his defense of the ‘Stormy Daniels case‘. It has been a pre-campaign political rally. “The only crime I have committed has been vigorously defend our nation those who seek to destroy it,” Trump said.

For 25 minutes, Trump did not leave a puppet with a head, attacks the prosecutor, calling him a “criminal”. He has also charged against the current US president, Joe Biden: “We have a lunatic on the left known as a bomb thrower … Joe Biden.” Even Trump dared to foresee an apocalypse, pointing out that “the Biden administration could lead to a third world war“. The former president’s strategy involves presenting himself as a martyr and delaying the judicial process as long as possible.
