Donald Trump expressed his willingness to be jailed for violating his gag order in his New York hush money trial. He compared himself to Nelson Mandela and stated that it would be his great honor. The trial is set to begin on April 15.
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that it would be his "great honor" to be jailed for violating his gag order in his New York hush money trial . The incendiary comments come just over a week before the trial is set to begin on April 15. "I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela — It will be my GREAT HONOR," the former president wrote in a lengthy post. It was not the first time Trump has likened himself to a martyr as he faces a flurry of criminal charges .
And last week, Trump took to Truth Social to share a message that likened his legal troubles to the persecution of Nelson Mandela. That day, jury selection will get underway in the state's criminal prosecution of the former president on 34 counts of falsifying business documents, allegedly in order to hide a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels weeks before the 2016 presidential election. Trump has accused Merchan of being compromised because of his daughter's role at a progressive consulting firm that has worked for Democrats
