Trump says he will go to jail for the Constitution.
After exiting the courtroom on Friday, former President and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump unloaded on Judge Juan Merchan, his unfair gag order, and the unrelenting lawfare being waged against him.
“It’s all fake. The whole case is fake. The judge is corrupt,” Trump said. “It’s a disgrace,” Trump added, before attacking some of President Biden’s recent claims on inflation.
“[Biden] lies about everything — including his golf game,” Trumps said, adding that Biden has “stupid, new green deal energy policies.”
Trump also reiterated he’d be proud to go to jail for the Constitution for violating the gag order.
“If anything’s mentioned against certain people, and you know who they are, certain people, anything’s even mentioned, he wants to put me in jail,” Trump told reporters as he displayed various media articles about the trial. “That could happen one day and I’d be very proud to go to jail for our Constitution.”
