Trump Turns Indictment Into Powerful Campaign Ad

Unless you’ve been under a rock or in a coma, you are aware that President Trump has been indicted by crusading, soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on 34 charges of falsifying business records.

Trump turned himself in to prosecutors Tuesday and was arraigned. He returned to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida later that evening to deliver an impassioned speech eviscerating Bragg and the various other prosecutors around the country who he accuses of engaging in a witch hunt.

As written by Bob Hoge of RedState:

I thought it was a strong speech in which he effectively laid out his complaints about the apparent two-tiered justice system in this country—one tier for Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and the like, and a different, far-harsher tier for Republicans.

On Friday, the GOP (Conservative) front-runner for the 2024 presidential nomination used his arrest as a campaign video.

It is definitely a novel approach:

I’m pretty sure former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich didn’t use his jail stint as campaign fodder; nor did Hillary tout her husband’s legal woes as reasons to vote for her.

Note the dig at each here. Both Blago and Big Hill are as corrupt as the day is long—one indicted and convicted, the other not yet so. The phrase. ‘Throw away the key,’ was created for the likes of them.

CAUTION: Look away you timid Never Trumpers. This campaign ad will frighten you with imaginings of more fabrication that Trump and We the People are unhinged and prone to wearing tinfoil hats and claiming everyone is out to get the greatest president since George Washington.

A very dark cloud over our beloved country, indeed.

“We. Can’t. Let. That. Happen.”

The magnificently produced, 56-second spot starts with thundering music and the voices of Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Gregg Jarrett, with Hannity blasting Bragg’s “idiotic, small-minded prosecution” that will likely “backfire,” and Jarrett saying that the indictment is a “persecution disguised as a prosecution.”

NY Post legal analyst Andrew C. McCarthy chimes in, declaring that he “would dismiss it [the indictment] on its face because it fails to state a crime.”

Their comments are played over images of the American flag and the New York City courthouse, as Trump arrives in his motorcade.

The music ramps up as Trump’s voiceover runs over footage of “Trump 2024” flags and enthusiastic supporters. The words come from his Tuesday speech:

The only crime that I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. And now, these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement.

We. Can’t. Let. That. Happen.

With all of this being said, and with a very dark cloud over our beloved country, I have no doubt that nevertheless we will Make America Great Again.

The polished, Hollywood-style spot is certainly well-done and dramatic, and dovetails with his fiery speech Tuesday evening.

For the ever-growing number of Trump supporters, it is red meat and it looks like it could have been made by the Top Gun: Maverick producers.

Love Trump or hate him, he has a valid point.

For as the great Catch-22 author Joseph Heller wrote:

“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.”

And as RedState‘s Jeff Charles points out:

Trump’s support among Republicans has surged since news of the indictment broke.

Final thoughts: No doubt, We the People are encouraged. However, this campaign ad, as fantastic as it is, will be despised by those who refuse to see the brilliance of President Trump and the cruciality of his mission:

To save our beloved country from those determined to bring her down.

God speed to President Trump and may God keep you safe.
