YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump’s political career is marked by ruthlessly attacking his opponents in order to win, but thanks to his New York City criminal trial, he can’t do that. So he is turning to other Republicans to fight his battles.
A parade of GOP officials has joined Trump in Manhattan court in a show of solidarity with their party’s presidential nominee, amplifying attacks Trump is barred from making himself by Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the case. The appearances double as a high-profile opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty to Trump, and for some, to audition to be his running mate — who traditionally serves as the nominee’s attack dog — or secure another post in a potential administration.
House Speaker Mike Johnson was among a group of nearly a half dozen Trump acolytes to show up on Tuesday and hold court.
“I’m disgusted by what is happening here, what is being done here to our entire system of justice over all,” Johnson said outside the courthouse.
