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.

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands. #Zelensky #UkraineIndependenceDay #Vyshyvanka #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Trump #WhiteHouse #Kyiv #UkraineCulture #UkraineNews #WarSymbolism #UkraineTradition #UkraineResilience #ZelenskyStyle #UkraineHeritage #UkraineConflict #UkrainePresident #UkrainePride #UkraineSolidarity #UkraineFashion ~HT.410~GR.124~

Trump REFUSES to Condemn Putin Even After Russia Strikes US Factory |What Does Putin Have On Trump?

Russia’s missile strike on the U.S.-owned Flex factory in Ukraine was seen as a potential turning point in the war. But instead of lifting the ban on deep Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, President Trump responded with a tweet blaming Biden—without directly condemning Putin. Even after Putin openly rejected Trump’s calls for talks, the U.S. president showed restraint, raising doubts about his approach to Moscow. With Ukraine seeking stronger support and Russia flexing military power, Trump’s silence underscores Putin’s upper hand in diplomacy. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #USPolitics #FlexFactory #MissileStrike #Kinzhal #CruiseMissile #Zelensky #WhiteHouse #Biden #TrumpTweet #GlobalConflict #WarNews #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #Russia #Ukraine #PutinPower #TrumpVsPutin #USRussiaRelations #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #Washington #Moscow #PeaceTalks #UkraineCrisis #TrumpSpeech #WorldPolitics #MilitaryNews Also Read US President Trump Appoints Close Aide Sergio Gor As India Ambassador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-appoints-close-aide-sergio-gor-as-india-ambassador-7838355.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Govt Reviews 55 Million US Visa Holders For Possible Deportation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-govt-reviews-55-million-us-visa-holders-for-possible-deportation-7837279.html?ref=DMDesc India Cheat US On Trade: Trump's Key Adviser Peter Navaroo :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-cheat-us-on-trade-trumps-key-adviser-peter-navaroo-7837205.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.122~HT.408~

All Out War With Putin: Trump Sends 3,350 HUGE Missiles To Ukraine Warns Russia Dangerous Escalation

In a move set to escalate the conflict, the United States has approved the sale of 3,350 air-launched ERAM cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal. With a range of up to 280 miles, the missiles could enable Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. Deliveries are expected by the end of 2025, though some shipments may arrive in just six weeks. Reports indicate Ukraine will need Pentagon approval before launching the weapons. President Donald Trump, who previously criticized unconditional aid to Kyiv, recently warned Ukraine has “no chance of winning” without long-range strike capability. NATO allies, especially France and Germany, are backing further weapons deliveries as part of post-war security guarantees, even as Russia insists Western military aid blocks peace. The missile deal highlights the growing stakes in Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II. #UkraineWar #CruiseMissiles #USEscalation #TrumpUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileDeal #USUkraine #NATO #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid #UkraineNews #Pentagon #UkraineDefense #UkraineCrisis #RussiaWar #TrumpNews #SecurityGuarantees #UkraineMilitary #Geopolitics #WarUpdate ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~
