The former president of the USA Donald Trump (2017-2021) sought to discredit Justice, which he accused of being biased at a rally in Waco (Texas)just when he could be charged in New York in a case for the alleged payment of a bribe to the porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom he had an “affair”.
“They have nothing (against me)!” an angry Trump yelled at the crowd concentrated to see him at the Waco Regional Airport yesterday Saturday, where he presented himself as a victim of Justice and lashed out at the lawyers who are handling his case at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, whom he insulted and called “scum”.
He claimed without evidence that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Dragg’s office is prefabricating and acting under the direction of the Department of “Injustice” of the country to try to charge him with something, according to him, that does not constitute a crime.
In fact, he went even further and baselessly claimed that the Justice Department has sent “operatives” to the DA’s office to ensure that they “take care of Trump” and finish what they “failed to do” in Washington.
And it is that the former president attributed this and other cases open against him to a conspiracy of the Democrats so that he does not appear in the 2024 elections.
The New York District Attorney’s investigation, which has lasted nearly five years, focuses on Trump team’s alleged payment of $130,000 to Daniels during the 2016 electoral campaign that elevated him to the Presidency, in exchange for the silence of the porn actress about a sexual relationship they had in 2006.
The case is now in the hands of a grand jury, which must decide whether or not to indict the former president. If Trump is impeached, he will become the first former US president to face a criminal charge.
The ex-governor also messed with Daniels during the rally this Saturdaywhich he called “horse face” and of which he assured that he never liked it and that for him the only woman has always been “the great first lady”, in reference to his wife, Melania Trump.

The New York tycoon did not leave a puppet with his head and also criticized the Supreme Court for deciding last November that his tax returns should not be kept secret, as he himself had requested.
As a consequence of that ruling, at the end of 2022, Congress published its declarations to the treasury during the previous six years, including those of his tenure.
In this regard, Trump said that “every piece” of his financial and business life has been “dissected” like no one else in the country: “Something that is not supposed to have happened,” he said.
He also censured the Supreme Court for “not having dared” to declare the 2020 elections invalidin which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden and which the then Republican president denounced without evidence that they had been rigged by progressives.
Trump, who did not stop being cheered on by his supporters in Waco, also regretted that his former lawyer Evan Corcoran had to testify Friday before another federal grand jurythis time in Washington DC, for the case of the classified documents found in the former president’s mansion in Florida.
At this point, he again accused the Justice of partiality and pointed out that the only lawyers who have to appear before grand investigative juries are those of the Republicans.
Here, he attacked the Democrats, whom he indicated that they are trying to turn Justice into a political weapon.
Beyond his troubles in court, the former president dedicated a good part of his speech to some of his favorite topics.
As he usually does at his rallies, he complained about the “communist” policies of the Democrats and the management by the Biden Administration of the competition with China, the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the border with Mexico, where he stressed that there is “an invasion” and insecurity reigns.
On this matter, he anticipated that if he is elected president in 2024, he will expand the wall on the southern border of the country.
In addition, He anticipated that if he returns to the White House he will end the war in Ukraine “very soon” and boasted of his good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.when he was in the White House.
Trump had promoted this rally in Waco as the first of his electoral campaign for next year’s elections, although it is true that this is not the first since he ran in November as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the US Presidency. .
The rally comes on the 30th anniversary of the police siege of the Waco farm that ended in a massacre, when 76 members of the Davidian sect died in a fire caused by their self-proclaimed messiah while the agents proceeded to evict them on April 19, 1993.
The Trump campaign has not linked the election of Waco for this rally with the anniversary, although the location is symbolic, since the tragedy greatly polarized the country at the time and still today gives rise to conspiracy theories instigated in many cases by supporters of far right of the former Republican president.
