Donald Trump did what everyone expected and went completely ballistic after being indicted for a fourth time on Monday evening. He took to Truth Social to make false claims about District Attorney Fani Willis, accusing her of being a racist, while also knocking the alleged timing of the indictments to "inflict" maximum "election interference." Trump is terrified - and he should be. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Well, after they handed down the indictments on Monday evening in Fulton County, Georgia, Donald Trump did what Donald Trump does and went completely ballistic, not just on truth social, but also in an interview with Fox News Digital here is what Donald Trump had to say on truth social immediately following the release of the indictments. So the witch hunt continues. 19 people indicated tonight, 19 people indicated, I think he means indicted, including the former president of the United States, me by an out of control and very corrupt district attorney who campaigned and raised money on I will Get Trump. And what about those indictment documents put out today long before the grand jury even voted and then quickly withdrawn. Sounds rigged to me. Why didn't they indict two and a half years ago? Because they wanted to do it right in the middle of my political campaign. Witch Hunt.
So are you saying Donald, that you should have been indicted two and a half years ago, like immediately following January 6th, basically is, is when that would put that two and a half years ago. That's when it should have happened. The reason it didn't happen two and a half years ago, idiot, is because they had to actually do an investigation, right? They, they had to do their due diligence, they had to get the evidence, they had to talk to the witnesses, they had to convene the special grand jury. Then after the special grand jury, they had to get the full grand jury there. There's a whole process, right? We don't just willy-nilly go out there and charge people with things, with no evidence and no investigation. That's not how the world works. They did the right thing. He didn't stop there. After he put out the post on Truth social, he then of course sent out a fundraising email where he said, quote, the fourth act of election interference on behalf of the Democrats in an attempt to keep the White House under Crooked Joe's control and jail. His single greatest opponent of the 2024 election.
It's actually in the Democratic Party's best interest to have you as the nominee. Uh, you, by the way, Donald are the most beatable in a general election. Out of all the Republicans, like I'm pretty sure even the people whose names I can't even remember would fare better than you in a general election. So this is not political interference like let's get that outta the way right now. Donald Trump is the most easily beatable Republican in a general election. So if they're trying to interfere with the election, they'd be indicting everybody but you leaving only you, you are the one they wanna run against. So all of your claims of election interference are completely backwards 'cause that's not how it works. Then as I mentioned, he did an interview on Fox News Digital where he had this to say
