Trump imagines a world in which Mother Teresa paid a porn star to keep quiet about an alleged affair

No one knows where the jury is now deciding Donald TrumpThe fate of the money hush trial will come down to guilty and not guilty, but one person appears extremely worried that the verdict will be guilty? Donald Trump. We know this because of his strange ramblings outside the courtroom on Wednesday, in which he declared more than once that “Mother Teresa cannot defeat” the charges against him .

Speaking to reporters, the former president said: “I would say, listening to the allegations from the judge, who, as you know, is very conflicted and corrupt—because of conflict,* very, very corruption—Mother Teresa could not defeat these charges. These allegations are fraudulent; The whole thing was staged. The whole country is a mess of borders and sham elections, and you have a trial like this where the judge is so conflicted he can’t breathe…. It’s a disgrace, and I mean it. Mother Teresa could not refute those accusations. But we’ll see. We’ll see how we do.”

This is obviously an odd claim, as it imagines a world in which Mother Teresa was accused of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star who accused them of having an affair. . (Does a trial MT complain incessantly How cold is the courtroom? Trump did not speak.) But it was also very Trumpian and reminiscent of his oft-repeated claim that no president in history has been treated as unfairly as he, including Abraham Lincoln. (“They always say Lincoln — no one was treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I was treated worse,” Trump speak Fox News in 2020.)

Jurors in the criminal trial began deliberating Wednesday. While a decision could be made as early as today, we may have to wait until next week to hear the verdict.
