After Trump’s recent guilty verdict, Radical Leftists across the nation were hoping for a response. But none of them were expecting this.
And the newest calls from Trump have liberals terrified.
Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump called on voters to stay calm and channel their frustrations through the electoral process following the recent guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump in his hush money trial. Her message was clear: protest at the ballot box.
Lara Trump appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” with guest host Kasie Hunt on Sunday, addressing the fallout from the verdict delivered by a Democrat-led prosecution in Manhattan last week.
When asked by Hunt what Trump supporters should do if the former president is sentenced to jail, Trump emphasized the importance of a peaceful and democratic response.
“They’re going to do what they have done from the beginning, which is remain calm and protest at the ballot box on November 5,” she stated.
“There’s nothing to do, other than make your voices heard loud and clear and speak out against this, because this is not the United States of America. This is the kind of thing you would expect to see in the communist USSR. So they shouldn’t do anything until voting starts, and then they’re going to come out in droves. And I believe Donald Trump will be re-elected as the 47th president.”
Her remarks come at a critical time, as her husband, Eric Trump, revealed during a Fox News interview that the former president’s campaign had raised over $200 million since the verdict.
This surge in donations underscores the strong support Trump continues to command among his base, even in the face of legal challenges.
Lara Trump highlighted the impact of the verdict on the campaign, noting a significant uptick in polling numbers.
“We’ve seen a roughly six-point jump in the polls since the conviction,” she said. “What’s even more telling is that 30% of the small-dollar donors who have given to Trump’s campaign have been first-time donors. This indicates a broadening of his support base, fueled by a sense of injustice and frustration with the current administration.”
Despite the legal troubles, Trump supporters appear undeterred, galvanized by what they perceive as an unfair prosecution.
Lara Trump argued that the issues most important to voters extend far beyond the courtroom drama. “What matters to people right now isn’t Donald Trump in downtown Manhattan in a case that everybody can see was weighed against him, that never should have seen the light of day,” she said.
“They care about their lives. They care about the fact that they can’t make ends meet right now, that it’s harder to put food on the table for their families, that they can’t fill their gas tank up in the same way that they’re worried about the future of the world because we have a war in Europe, we have a war in the Middle East.”
Lara Trump’s call for calm and for focusing efforts on the upcoming election highlights a strategy to harness the widespread discontent among Trump supporters into a powerful electoral force.
By encouraging voters to use their ballots as a form of protest, she aims to transform frustration into political momentum, securing a path for Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
The conviction has undeniably energized Trump’s base, and the significant fundraising figures suggest that many Americans see the legal battles as politically motivated.
This sentiment is likely to drive high voter turnout among Trump supporters, who view the 2024 election as a referendum not just on Biden’s presidency, but on the integrity of the justice system itself.
The context of Lara Trump’s comments also reflects a broader conservative perspective that views recent legal actions against Trump as part of a continued effort by Democrats to undermine his political career.
This narrative is being reinforced through various conservative media outlets, which have consistently questioned the motivations behind the prosecution and highlighted perceived inconsistencies and biases in the legal process.
The upcoming months will be crucial in shaping the political landscape ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
As Trump continues to campaign and galvanize his supporters, the response to these legal challenges and the overall political climate will play a significant role in determining the outcome.
