The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, and the Dept. of Justice are continuing their witch hunt to derail Trump’s certain victory in the 2024 presidential election. Former President Trump will be found innocent, and these charges — like the ones in the other indictments — are all part of an attempt to drown a political opponent in legal action.

Democratic narrative

This case is the most perilous one for Trump, starting with the strict terms of his bond deal that aim to crack down on the social media attacks he’s made in the other cases. This is the first time he’s had to post cash bail and be fairly treated based on these criminal allegations. If convicted of state charges, there would be no chance for him to pardon himself if he regains the presidency.
