Trump Supporters, Critics React to Guilty Verdict in Falsifying Business Records Trial

Following the announcement of the guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, supporters and opponents gathered outside the courtroom in New York City to express their reactions. Some expressed delight, while others lamented the lack of alternative candidates for the presidency.

In the wake of former President Donald Trump's conviction on all counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, ardent supporters and fierce critics assembled outside the courtroom in New York City to share their polarized reactions.

One man, beaming with satisfaction, exclaimed to Fox News Digital, "I'm really f------ pleased, f--- that guy." His sentiments were met with contrasting opinions from others.

"The sad thing is we're just in this situation again where there's just two candidates, one who is very old, and one who is now a convicted felon," lamented a man who expressed dismay at the limited presidential options. "That's just not a state of political affairs that I never want to find a country that I believe in so much."

Amidst the crowd, one individual held aloft multiple placards. The first proclaimed, "the evidence to convict Trump is glaring," while the second asserted, "Let the reckoning begin."

"I'm very pleased that there's finally some accountability for Donald Trump," a woman told Fox News Digital. "It had to be an attempted coup for them to even consider going after him."

Trump was found guilty on each of the 34 counts, each carrying a maximum prison sentence of four years, for a potential total of 136 years.

"This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt, as a rigged trial and disgrace. It wouldn't give us a venue change," Trump stated after the verdict was announced. "We were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial."

Trump expressed confidence in the upcoming election, stating, "the real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people."

The verdict has polarized the public, with supporters remaining steadfast in their belief in Trump's innocence and critics expressing satisfaction at his conviction. The outcome of the trial is likely to have significant implications for Trump's political future and the upcoming presidential election.
