Trump is so guilty that even one juror who gets all his news from the Truth Society voted to convict him.

Here is the juror questionnaire:
One of the 12 jurors in the New York case said his only sources of news were Trump’s social networks, Truth Social and X.

For those who say they only get their news from Trump-owned social media platforms, how guilty does Trump have to be to still find him guilty?
Republicans are trying to reverse the verdict, and some are even calling for red states to sue President Biden because they have embraced Trump’s view of politicizing the justice system and now see everything as an extension of politics.
Even those who claimed to get their news from social media platforms owned by the defendant voted to convict, indicating overwhelming evidence supporting Donald Trump’s guilt.
In a close election, if the verdict turns thousands of voters away from supporting the Republican nominee, it could be enough to cost Trump and his party.
The media will try to downplay the impact of this ruling because its benefit is to keep horse racing going, but it’s likely it will have a negative impact on Trump and his party.
