Donald Trump gave a very short press conference after being found guilty on 34 felony counts in the Hush Money Trial (election interference, really) and whined that the case was rigged from day one and it's just disgraceful.

Bream: Yeah, Judge, if you'll hold on just a second, we see President Trump now. He is walking out. Let's listen.

Trump: By a conflicted judge who was corrupt, it's a rigged trial, a disgrace. They wouldn't give us a venue change. We were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area.

This was a rigged, disgraceful trial that the real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people, and they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here.

You have a sore respect DA, and the whole thing, we didn't do a thing wrong. I'm a very innocent man, and it's okay, I'm fighting for our country, I'm fighting for our Constitution.

Trump has never fought for the US Constitution, ever. I doubt he can name one concept in the Bill of Rights, but I digress. Also, he's about as religious as the black shoe polish that rolled down Rudy Giuliani's face.

Our whole country is being rigged right now.

This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent.

And I think it's just a disgrace, and we'll keep fighting, we'll fight till the end, and we'll win, because our country's gone to hell.

We don't have the same country anymore, we have a divided mess.

We're a nation in decline, serious decline.

Millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists, and they're taking over our country.

We have a country that's in big trouble.

But this was a rigged decision right from day one with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case, never.

And we will fight for our Constitution.

This is long from over.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I did love a few questions that reporters yelled as he walked away.

Why should voters vote for a convicted felon?

Are you going to drop out?

You're going to go to law school.

How does it feel to be a convicted felon, Donald?

It sure sounds good to me. Kinda rolls off the tongue.

Can you help us out?
