Reactions across the political world and beyond came pouring in Thursday after former President Donald Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony counts against him in the New York hush money trial, becoming the first U.S. president to be a convicted felon.
After Trump himself said the"real verdict" would come Nov. 5, calling himself a"very innocent man" who was convicted only because of the Biden administration, his son, Donald Trump Jr. also blamed Democrats for the trial and its result, saying in a post on X,"The Democrats have succeeded in their years-long attempt to turn America into a third-world s***hole."
— Donald Trump Jr. May 30, 2024 Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared to feel similarly, calling it a"shameful day in American history" and a"purely political exercise, not a legal one."Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon.
Meanwhile, Democrats seemed to view it as an overall win for the country and its legal system, with the Biden-Harris campaign saying in a statement that the verdict showed"no one is above the law."
