Reporters asked Trump as he exited the courtroom on Wednesday how he felt about the coming verdict, and he made it clear that he still believed the entire trial to be unfair.
“I would say in listening to the charges from the judges, as, you know, very conflicted and corrupt because of the conflicting — very, very clearly, Mother Teresa could not beat these charges. These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged,” the former president said.
“The whole country is a mess between the borders and fake elections. And you have a trial like this where the judge is so conflicted he can’t breathe,” Trump continued. “He’s got to do his job. And it’s not for me, that I can tell you. It’s a disgrace. And I mean that Mother Theresa could not beat those charges. But we’ll see. We’ll see how we do.”
Trump went on to point out that other prosecutors had passed on the case seven years earlier, after which Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) waited until the run-up to a presidential election to move forward with the case.

“Then they have a protest with Robert De Niro yesterday who is a fool, a broken down fool. He got MAGA’d yesterday. He got a big dose of it,” Trump concluded. “Remember, November 5, the most important day in the history of our country. In the meantime, this trial is rigged.”
While he awaits the verdict, at least a one of the legal analysts on CNN believes that Trump has a fighting chance to beat the charges. Defense attorney Randy Zelin told anchor Kate Bolduan on Tuesday that the prosecution “fell way short” of meeting the burden of proof, saying that there was “reasonable doubt all over this case.”
