Even those around him had a measured reaction.
The director of his campaign for re-election, Michael Taylor, He referred to the conviction by stating that “Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed that he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain.

Joe Biden calls Donald Trump a “convicted felon” after court conviction
trump became last week the first president of the United States convicted of a crime when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence the porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 elections, a fact that could have changed the course of the elections that he finally won.
For Trump, the conviction for covering up the payment to the porn actress Stormy Daniels is a shame”. And he stated that “the real verdict will be on November 5,” the day Americans go to the polls to elect president.
In any case, the Republican leader assured that if he is sentenced to house arrest or actual prison he would accept it, but he raised doubts about society’s reaction. “I’m not sure people will accept it,” the Republican presidential candidate said. “I think it would be difficult for people to accept. You know, at a certain point, there’s a moment of fracture“.
On July 11, his sentence will be announced, and the Justice will determine if he will actually go to prison. The decision will be made official four days before the Republicans define who will be your candidate to face President Joe Biden in the November elections. Everything indicates that Trump, Despite his great legal complications, he will be the one chosen to fight in the elections.
The members of the jury declared guilty of all positions to the former president Donald Trump, in a historic trial that took place in New York, USA, for falsify business documents to cover up a payment of money in exchange for silence to the porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 elections.
Trump, 77 years old, he is the first former president in US history to receive a criminal conviction. Throughout the trial, the mogul pleaded not guilty and denies having had the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Daniels.
The guilty plea could upend the 2024 presidential race, in which Trump, the Republican candidate, aspires to take the White House to Democratic President Joe Biden in an election that will be held on November 5. In any case, the conviction will not prevent him from competing for the presidency.
