Just prior to holding a rally in the political hotbed of Schnecksville, Pennsylvania late Saturday afternoon, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to snarl and complain and point fingers over his impending 34-felony count trial set to commence in Manhattan on Monday morning.

The former president, who has been busily endorsing Republican candidates on social media, started off slowly and then built into a full-fledged meltdown over his most pressing legal problem at the moment.

On Truth Social, he first began with, "Heading to Philadelphia and then to a BIG Rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania," before launching his diatribe.

"There is NO WAY I can be given a Fair (Biden) Trial on Monday with Judge Juan Merchan, who is totally conflicted and corrupt, presiding. Soros backed Alvin Bragg, the 'District Attorney' who has, along with his sidekick Leticia James, let violent crime flourish in New York, never wanted to bring this case because it is a sham and mockery of our legal system. He brought it anyway for purposes of saving the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!"

He then added, "Has Mark POMERANTZ been prosecuted for his terrible acts in and out of the D.A.’s Office. Has disgraced attorney and felon Michael Cohen been prosecuted for LYING?"

"Only TRUMP people get prosecuted by this Judge and these thugs! A dark day for our Country. MAGA2024!!!" he accused.

He continued, "WHY DIDN’T THE MANHATTAN D.A. BRING THIS RIDICULOUS & LAMBASTED CASE SEVEN YEARS AGO? Because they are corrupt and wanted to use it for purposes of Election Interference against Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent!"

It should be noted that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen did serve 13 1/2 months in prison and a year and a half in home confinement for lying to Congress and campaign finance charges.
