Has the jury reached a verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money trial?

It's soon to be the verdict heard 'round the world.

You’d certainly be hard-pressed to find a singular soul who isn’t interested in learning whether or not the jury in Donald Trump’s hush money trial will find him guilty or not. And with the jury currently deliberating, said interest only continues to increase.

Over the last several weeks, the aforementioned hush money trial has undoubtedly dominated news headlines and further ruffled a great deal of feathers in the GOP. The criminal trial, of course, is in regards to charges brought against Trump that include 34 counts of falsifying business records as “hush money” payments awarded to adult film star Stormy Daniels — with whom Trump had an affair years prior. Prosecutors have insisted that Trump attempted to cover up the payments, which he had awarded to Daniels prior to the 2016 presidential election.

In the aftermath of events such as Trump falling asleep in court or allegedly letting a fart slip, the entire media world continues to be invested in the high-profile trial, and whether or not the jury has finally reached its verdict.

It seems that all of Trumpty Dumpty’s horses and all of his men couldn’t put his reputation back together again. In a historic turn of events, the former President has been found guilty on all 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records. The New York jury’s verdict, delivered on May 30, 2024, marks the first time a U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.

Judge Juan Merchan promptly scheduled Trump’s sentencing for July 11, mere days before the Republican National Convention. Almost immediately after the verdict, Trump took to his favorite battleground, Truth Social, to unleash a caps-lock fury.

MY CIVIL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TOTALLY VIOLATED WITH THIS HIGHLY POLITICAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AND ELECTION INTERFERING WITCH HUNT. OUR FAILING NATION IS BEING LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THIS WAS A DISGRACE—A RIGGED TRIAL BY A CONFLICTED JUDGE WHO IS CORRUPT. WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR CONSTITUTION—THIS IS LONG FROM OVER!

No amount of caps lock or exclamation points will change the fact that the MAGA king has been exposed for the fraud he truly is. However, the disgraced former president is expected to appeal the verdict. This process involves submitting a brief outlining the alleged errors and arguing why the conviction should be overturned or the sentence reduced. The appeal is then reviewed by court, which will decide whether to uphold the original decision, reverse it, or remand the case for further proceedings.

Regardless of the outcome, it’s clear that Donny Delusional’s house of cards is finally crumbling.
