Trump faces his traps | An op-ed by Diego Carcedo

Donald Trump “the cheater”, as he is nicknamed by many Spanish speakers in different states, has been for many years already saving himself from dozens of economic and sexual accusations. that money and lawyers have managed to free him and even to arrive at the White House in Washington unpunished, without having to render accounts to Justice. Nothing prevented him from serving as the world’s highest authority for four years. and raising to the highest level his status as author and promoter of the evidence that, according to all indications, make him a real criminalnow against international security.

But today the long-delayed time has come for him to be held accountable for his many prosecutions, not all of them yet, just some: a whopping thirty-seven violations of the Law in different cases, which very well May very well end up sentencing him to a whopping four hundred years in prison.. This noon, Spanish time, he will appear before a federal court – which hears the most serious charges – in whose Mar-a-Lago residence he hid secret documents that he illegally took with him when he left his office.

For the time being, your appearance will be limited to informing you of all the cases with which you are charged. and on which he will be judged in another appearance. If he is convicted, as is predicted, he will be the first former president to be prosecuted out of the forty-three who have preceded him in office. For now, he has already he is the only one who has faced such accusations. and will undoubtedly be the one who will go down in history with the degraded image that his actions, between criminal and extravagant that he starred in, both in office and in his public and private activity in the field of his business.

He will say that everything is false, that he is innocent, that they stole his reelection with multiplied pucherazos that the Justice did not recognize and that the truth is that it is about a conspiracy to prevent him from winning the presidency again. in the elections to be held next year. While the judges are working to clarify the truth, among so many cases, he continues to campaign for the Republican primaries, and cultivating the fanaticism of his followers. among whom thugs predominate who during the appearance are feared to cause disturbances.

Concern at this possibility is great: it is known that. there are groups that are willing to demonstrate and cause disturbances. just as they did when the attempted coup was carried out in front of the Capitol and elsewhere, in violent demands for recognition that it was he who won the most eventful election in living memory. In anticipation of the disturbances that would result from the demonstrations that have been called have been mobilized several hundred public forces.
