Donald Trump’s arrest today was a historical event that has cast a harrowing dark shadow over the US forever.
The campaign to Get Trump and hope he bow’s out of the 2024 US Presidential race, should be viewed as a disturbing act of abuse by any means.
His arrest has transformed the US into a State of humiliation where freedom and justice no longer exist and flushed forever down thew toilet the notion America as a society is forged in freedom and justice.
Every American should be fearful that the politicisation of the US justice system has become a psychological weapon that will inevitably be used against them in ways unbeknown to them.
August 24, for Americans, will be heralded as a day of infamy, where democracy has been redefined to mean something other than what it should, with the nation hijacked by corruption and lunacy.
Trump’s arrest has drawn impassioned reactions from both sides of politics.
And while some view it as a justifiable culmination of past actions - others see it as a perilous precedent, signaling the end of impartial justice and principles the US was founded upon.
The legal proceedings against Trump bear the unmistakable marks of a politically motivated vendetta, rather than a pursuit of genuine justice.
The timeline of events leading to the arrest and the way the prosecution has been handled has caused alarm among Americans who champion impartiality and fairness in the judicial system.
Historically, when high-profile figures are prosecuted, the charges laid out against them are concrete, clear, and irrefutable.
But in Trump's case, a murkiness exists in all the allegations, which raises concerns about the motivations behind his prosecution.
Motivations that are abundantly clear why, and that makes a case built on ambiguous grounds hard to distinguish between the pursuit of justice and political retribution.
The media's role in this drama cannot be understated either.
The hyper-focus on Trump, even after his presidency, speaks volumes about the media's bias.
Instead of providing objective coverage of the events, almost every mainstream news outlet indulged in sensationalism, jeopardising the potential for Trump to have a fair trial.
And by just being Trump, trial by media in the US is now acceptable when it involves him.
Innocent until proven guilty no longer is a tenet that exists while the court of public opinion driven by the media, seems to have already declared its verdict.
This premature judgment, exacerbated by media coverage, undermines the bedrock of the American justice system - and if it can happen to a former president, you can bet the safety of the average Americans right can now ever be guaranteed.
Add to that the choice to prosecute specific individuals and not others, signal’s genuine and deliberate overt bias.
Trump’s crime, if it is a crime, is to voice a belief the 2020 election was rigged, a belief he has never wavered from or uttered anything differently.
Compare the more egregious, acts committed by other political figures, which have gone unchecked, and it paints a disturbing picture the selective nature of Trump's prosecution points to a possible misuse of the legal system for political ends.
Democracy thrives on checks and balances, and the independence of the judiciary is paramount.
Trump’s arrest and arraignment raise questions about whether these foundational principles have now been eroded forever.
If political agendas can interfere with and dictate judicial processes, the very essence of American democracy is now dead.
And the divisions in the country have been exacerbated by this event.
What has always been considered a cornerstone of US society, trust in the legal system, has been shaken for many.
The targeting of Trump fuels the narrative of a divided America, with the potential for long-term repercussions to destroy social cohesion and mutual trust.
The arrest of a former head of state has not gone unnoticed on the international stage.
Allies and adversaries alike are watching closely, and the U.S. risks losing its moral high ground.
The international community might begin to question America's commitment to fairness, justice, and the rule of law.
Trump’s arrest is more than about one man or one legal case, it represents a turning point for the US, where the lines between justice and politics are now blurred.
The ramifications will echo for years, shaping the US’s legal landscape and its standing on the global stage.
As the case unfolds, one can only hope for a return to the principles that have guided the American justice system: impartiality, fairness, and the unwavering belief in innocence until proven otherwise.
Anything short of this is a crime against Americans and the ideals it once protected dearly.
Love this piece of yours George but certainly he will win elections. We are all witnessing 10+ years trying to put Trump behind bars and yet no one could prosecute him and this today, is truly day to be remembered.
You are totally right. Its a day Americans endured that marked the end of freedom as they once knew in the US.
