Former President Donald Trump recently labeled himself as a “political prisoner of a failing nation” on Truth Social. He expressed his enthusiasm for November 5th, claiming it to be the most crucial day in American history. This statement follows a Manhattan jury’s decision to find him guilty in his business records case, involving transactions by his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels.
Trump has been vocal about his belief that the guilty verdict was politically motivated by the Biden administration. He deems the decision as unjust and has faith that the real judgment will come from the people on November 5th.

Despite the legal turmoil, Trump’s supporters have shown unwavering dedication. The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee have witnessed a significant surge in donations, totaling $141 million in May. This financial boost indicates a strong backing for Trump within the conservative realm.
Furthermore, a post-verdict poll by HarrisX highlighted Trump’s enduring appeal, with 43 percent of respondents expressing readiness to vote for him if an election were held immediately. This close statistic, with 42 percent backing Biden, showcases Trump’s continued influence among voters.
In light of these recent developments, Trump’s popularity has even seen a slight upturn. An ABC News survey reported an increase in favorable views toward Trump post-verdict, indicating a resilient support base that remains steadfast despite legal challenges.
