Trump's Response to Felony Conviction
Donald Trump, after his first-ever felony conviction, vowed to appeal, calling the trial rigged but expressed optimism. He emphasized that the impact goes beyond him, stating it's about saving the country and Constitution. Despite this, he remains committed to making America great again. Following this, the Trump campaign saw record-breaking donations within 24 hours, even from previous non-supporters like Silicon Valley's Sean McGuire.
