Here’s Why Trump Can Still Run for President After Hush-Money Conviction

Here’s Why Trump Can Still Run for President , After Hush-Money Conviction.

Donald Trump made history on May 30 when he became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.

Donald Trump made history on May 30 when he became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.

He was found guilty on "34 felony counts of falsifying business documents" linked to hush-money paid to Stormy Daniels, NBC News reports.

.

Trump will be sentenced on July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where he is set to receive the party's presidential nomination.

But the former president barely batted an eye at the conviction, saying, "The real verdict is going to be Nov.

5 by the people.".

This was a rigged, disgraceful trial.

The real verdict is going to be Nov.

5 by the people, and they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here, Donald Trump, via statement.

I’m a very innocent man, and it’s OK.

I’m fighting for our country.

I’m fighting for our Constitution, Donald Trump, via statement.

Trump immediately used the conviction as a means to inspire his constituents to lend their support via money and votes.

.

He can still run for president because the criteria to do so, as stated in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, is as follows:.

A candidate must be a "natural born Citizen," at least 35 years old and have lived in the U.S. for 14 years.

There are no other qualifications other than those in the Constitution.

There's just three, Chuck Rosenberg, a former U.S. attorney and an NBC News and MSNBC legal analyst, via statement .

There is nothing in the Constitution that says someone who's been convicted of a crime can't run for the nation's highest office.

Some analysts predict that Trump's conviction may just be the fuel he needs to drum up unprecedented support from his ultra-MAGA army.

Trump Ousts 100+ NSC Staffers In Major Deep State Shake-Up, Rubio Leads Sweeping Overhaul

The Trump administration has fired over 100 National Security Council (NSC) staffers in a surprise Memorial Day shake-up, reportedly aimed at dismantling what insiders call the “Deep State.” Employees received just 30 minutes to vacate offices, affecting major directorates including Ukraine and Indo-Pacific. Acting NSA Marco Rubio is spearheading the effort to streamline policy control, slashing NSC staff from over 300 to just 50. Officials say the move reduces bureaucracy and restores NSC’s original purpose. This is among the most sweeping reorganizations of Trump’s second term so far. #TrumpNSC #DeepState #TrumpAdministration #MarcoRubio #WhiteHousePurge #NationalSecurityCouncil #NSCReform #NSCFirings #TrumpSecondTerm #RubioLeadership #MemorialDayPurge #DeepStateCleanse #TrumpPolicy #ForeignPolicyReform #NSCShakeUp #TrumpMoves #RubioPower #NationalSecurityNews #WhiteHouseNews #BureaucracyCut Also Read Trump Administration Bars Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-bars-harvard-from-enrolling-foreign-students-4161385.html?ref=DMDesc Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Trump Doubles Down On WW2 Victory Claim, Says US 'Won The War' And Only Helped Allies When Needed

Donald Trump stirred fresh controversy by insisting the United States was solely responsible for winning World War II. In a speech, he stated, “WE were the ones that won the war,” minimizing Allied contributions. He later added that “we were helped, and in some cases, we had to help THEM,” further intensifying backlash. Historians and critics have slammed the remarks as revisionist and disrespectful. Trump, however, remains defiant, framing the statement as a bold assertion of American strength in global history, especially during his campaign push. #TrumpWW2Claim #TrumpSpeech #WW2Victory #USHistory #HistoricalRevisionism #TrumpControversy #AmericaFirst #Trump2024 #AlliedForces #TrumpGaffe #WorldWarTwo #PresidentialElection #USMilitary #TrumpStatements #PoliticalNews #WWIIHistory #HistoryDebate #USPolitics #TrumpCampaign #GlobalReactions Also Read Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc Emmanuel Macron Commemorates Geneviève Callerot, WWII Resistance Activist and Author :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-macron-tributes-genevieve-callerot-011-4046361.html?ref=DMDesc Pearl Harbour Survivors Aged 104 and 102 Return to Hawaii to Honour Victims of 1941 Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pearl-harbour-survivors-honour-victims-ceremony-011-4009397.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

Karoline Leavitt Fires Back at MSNBC Host Over ‘People of Color Are Next’ Deportation Comment

Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary for President Trump, pushed back during a press briefing on claims made by MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend. Sanders warned that “people of color” could be next following the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a 29-year-old illegal immigrant sent to El Salvador’s megaprison, CECOT. While the administration first called it an error, officials now say Garcia may be tied to MS-13, a claim his lawyers deny. As Democrats and media voices raise alarm, the Trump team accuses them of spreading fear for political gain. #Trump #KarolineLeavitt #SymoneSanders #MSNBC #Deportation #ImmigrationPolicy #AbregoGarcia #MS13 #CECOT #PressBriefing #TrumpAdministration #IllegalImmigration #Megaprison #ImmigrationDebate #Fearmongering #USPolitics #ImmigrationNews #GOP #Democrats #MediaBias #FoxNews #BreakingNews #PoliticalControversy #KarolineSpeaks #BidenVsTrump #LatinoVoters #MarylandPolitics #MichaelSteele #GlenIvey #Election2024 Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
