Judicial Delays and Political Plays: The Strategy to Prevent Trump’s Presidency

“We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power if he does run, making sure he — under legitimate efforts of our Constitution — does not become the next president again.” This ominous statement came from President Joe Biden when asked by a CNN reporter what Biden could do to reassure the world that Trump would not return to the White House and “take power.”

Biden’s response alarmed many people at the time and was made just as Trump had teased that he was in fact going to announce running again for the presidency. Many concluded this statement implied that the Democrats were not going to let the people decide and were going to somehow “make sure” Trump was stopped. Biden revealed his own awareness of the nature of what he was saying by adding in almost as an aside “under legitimate efforts of our Constitution,” but that simply reinforced how the remark could be frighteningly interpreted.

Now two years later, we can say we learned exactly what Biden meant. Democrats have implemented an obscene and reckless campaign of lawfare against Trump resulting in dozens of felony indictments and multiple trials in a clear effort to destroy his public support and to take him off the field through imprisonment or some kind of confinement.

But this week, two judges who could have delivered the Democrats their fever dream of confining Trump and putting him on trial again in the weeks leading up to the election, blinked.

Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan postponed Jack Smith’s January 6^th case against Trump until November 7, after election day. Just a day later Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan delayed the sentencing of Donald Trump in the aftermath of the so-called “hush money” verdict in New York. In delaying the sentencing also after the election from September 18 to November 26 the New York Post reported, “In a four-page decision, Merchan wrote he was delaying the sentencing in a bid to combat “unwarranted” claims that his decision on Trump’s punishment could be based on politics rather than the law, so close to the election.”

What Merchan ignores is that the entire effort has been based on politics. But something happened none of them expected—by refusing to leave Trump’s side, the American people said enough is enough.

From the start I have contended that there was one meaning to Biden’s words and we saw multiple legal efforts geared toward imprisoning Donald Trump. Everything involved in the federal case, as an example, like the absurd and dangerous raid on Mar-a-Lago, was designed for public consumption as propaganda meant to destroy Donald Trump’s appeal and support.

But Americans began to see this calculated and organized effort against a political opponent as deeply unfair. It was and is, as many have described it, a witch hunt. Too many Americans themselves have experienced a justice system that is biased, unfair, and political at its root. But unlike the super-majority of Americans, Trump had the money with which to fight. And thank goodness he did.

Trump had the financial and legal resources to confront every effort against him, appealing at every level, including to the US Supreme Court on the issue of presidential immunity, on which he prevailed. All of his actions, while they did not stop the rabid obsession of the establishment to “make sure” he does not become president again, delayed their kangaroo courts and forced the federal government, in particular, to have to rework their scheme in light of that Supreme Court ruling.

The Democrats and their enforcers in New York, Georgia, and the Department of Justice, also severely underestimated the American character and our distaste for overgrown bullies sucker punching not only Trump, but the country itself, in the face every day. The only explanation for the brazen abuse of our legal system in an attempt to destroy a political leader in this country is the belief by the Democrats that they could get away with it because they’ve gotten away with so much more.

Trump’s polls began to rise after each contrived legal case against him making it clear that once again the Democrats had underestimated the American people.

Every single court case contrived against Donald Trump was designed to remove him from public life. Many people during this process couldn’t believe that the courts would imprison the most popular American politician on the scene today. But my answer is, if they were thinking reasonably and logically at all, none of this would be happening in the first place.

With the decisions this week from Chutkan and Merchan the Democrats and the left have had a very bad week. Their golden ring dreams of taking out Trump before the election have failed, but only because his public support increased and he easily became the GOP’s presidential nominee for the third time.

Keep in mind, their expectation of having Trump in jail also explained their continued support of Biden, despite his obvious cognitive decline, until it became obvious Trump wasn’t going anywhere. After all, in their imaginations, if Trump was off the field, then they could install anyone into the Oval Office, including a confused Biden. Then, suddenly, the Democrats decided to throw Jill Biden’s suffering husband under the bus.

The November 5th election has been recognized as an inflection point for this nation. The last four years have made the choice very clear. If you love the impact of inflation, crime, an open border, and a world at war, vote for Kamala, and you’ll get more of the same on steroids. If you want a return to law and order, a better economy, a secure nation, and an America that keeps the world at peace through strength, vote for Donald Trump.

Like with so many banana republics, if Donald Trump loses on November 5th, the establishment will imprison him one way or another. As long as he can talk and be seen he is a threat to the establishment because he encourages regular Americans to have faith and to trust in themselves. He encourages us to never back down and to fight, fight, fight for what is right. As a result, November 5th is now going to be the biggest jury verdict in the history of the country. All of us with our vote will be sending a message to our corrupt system about what is acceptable and who we are as a people.
