Donald Trump: 'This is a very sad day for America'

Trump pleaded not guilty to all four charges against him - the most serious of which is conspiracy to defraud the United States.

We learned that if Trump is convicted on all four counts, he could spend up to 55 years in prison.

After leaving court, Trump called it "a very sad day for America". He labelled the indictment a "persecution of a political opponent. This is not what is supposed to happen in America."

Very Sad a President would have brought the honour of office to such a low

[luisdeleon]

Only interested in handcuffs and prison.

[Joepipsquiggle]

Don't waste of taxpayers money
Sentence him to life in prison with solitary confinement and no access to the public for the rest of his life

[QESPINCETI]

Wasting tax money
GET RID OF HIM
PERMANENTLY

[RaRa-eumw]

Nobody is above the law, even disgraced former presidents.

[mattjacksn]

It’s only a sad day for Donnie and his misguided supporters. Everyone else is delighted that he’s finally being held accountable for his crimes

[danm]

Nonsense. I have never been prouder to be an American! Today we witnessed our country’s judicial system treat a former President with the same regard as any ordinary citizen. This what democracy is all about! 🇺🇸

[Art-Sin]

What in the name of narcissistic was that statement?

[alanhutchins]

History will judge #45 and the GOP as utter madness.

[MissSHUTurMOUF]

Actually it's a great day, thrilled honestly

[ChrisGWGreen]

There were great presidents that achieved great things the likes of which had never been seen... then there was Trump

DJT: "This is a very sad day for America" as all the non-MAGA's dance in the streets with each new indictment. The guy has cognitive dissonance of epic proportions. Getting him out of the WH certainly saved the country. Smart voters.

[coraltown]

Born and raised in America and happy as can be that trump is finally meeting justice.

[ste]

They do this to political opponents in Africa too

Banana republic

[sherrybarnett]

He did nothing but look at his own presidential papers. NOT A CRIME.

[egeg]

Does he get secret service protection in prison?

[BaNDA-]

किसी भी देश के राष्ट्रपति पर मुकदमा चलना वो भी ऐसे शक्तिशाली पावरफुल देश के तो हैरानी होना स्वाभाविक है

[Arya-cfvu]

Aand he loves the attention. And sadly he'll become president again, pardon himself and his cronies. The script of this sequel is poor

[pnw_element]

America wasn’t sad America was happy for the first time in a while

[DarrenLine-kj]

The best thing I've heard all year 😂
