“This is an assault on America,” Trump told press members at the courthouse. “Nothing like this has ever happened before. There’s never been anything like it. Every legal scholar said this case is nonsense. It should never have been brought. It doesn’t deserve anything like this. There is no case.”

He added, “This is political persecution. This is a persecution like never before. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. And again, it’s a case that should have never been brought. It’s an assault of America, and that’s why I’m very proud to be here. This is an assault on our country. And it’s a country that’s failing.”

Trump also called out Joe Biden as an “incompetent man who’s very much involved in this case,” explaining, “This is really an attack on a political opponent. That’s all it is.”

Outside the courthouse, NYC patriots showed their support for the 45th President.

The Trump campaign published an epic video as Donald went to court Monday, criticizing the multiple Democrat-led lawsuits against the presumptive GOP presidential nominee as a “persecution.”

Taking a different angle, the X account for Republicans on the House Committee on the Judiciary posted a video Monday criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for going after Trump instead of cleaning up his city’s streets.

The American people can see right through the establishment’s attacks on Trump, which is why the elite will likely have to pull some extreme shenanigans in order to keep him from re-taking the White House later this year.
