Donald Trump’s messy hair was just as confusing as his speech. Immediately after losing in court, Trump shared some bitter words about the guilty verdict and he doubled down on his accusations that the trial was rigged during his press conference on the following day. Per usual, he also randomly bounced around topics like immigration and President Joe Biden’s administration while making sure to rant about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the crime in New York. None of it seemed to make sense, just like his hair. At one point, Trump did address the 34 counts of falsifying business records that led to his conviction. “Falsifying business records — that sounds so bad, to me, it sounds very bad … That’s a bad thing for me, I’ve never had that before,” he said (via Fox 11 Los Angeles). The businessman is not happy with the verdict, but that certainly won’t change anything.
Trump is currently scheduled for sentencing on July 11, 2024, just days before the Republican National Convention. While there were whispers that Trump’s team would try to push back the date because of the convention, a source shared with CNN that some members of the political figure’s team see the date as a benefit. To them, being sentenced just before the event could amplify the narrative that Trump is a political martyr. That calculus is reportedly affecting the decision on whether or not to delay Trump’s sentencing.
