During a campaign rally on Wednesday, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump told the people of Michigan that President Joe Biden would face the consequences of his devastating policies at the ballot box for "destroying our country."
"The ultimate verdict on this travesty will not come in a courtroom; it will come at the ballot box, and the American people are going to find crooked Joe Biden guilty of trying to destroy our country," Trump said. "He's destroying our country."
"I have come here today from New York City, where I'm being forced to sit for days on end in a kangaroo courtroom with a corrupt and conflicted judge, enduring a Biden sideshow trial at the hands of a Marxist district attorney who's taking orders from the Biden administration," Trump explained, per Newsmax. "But what you're witnessing in New York is not a legal proceeding; it's an unlawful exercise in very stupid and very evil politics."
The 45th president's comments come as he faces off with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) in the hush money case brought against Trump last year. Making matters worse for the presidential candidate, Judge Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing the case, has required Trump to be present in the courtroom during his criminal trial, which takes place on weekdays, excluding Wednesdays.
Trump has repeatedly slammed the case against him, explaining that it is election interference that prevents him from campaigning regularly. "This is what took me off and takes me off the campaign trail! Because I should be in Georgia now. I should be in Florida now," Trump told reporters outside the courtroom. "I should be in a lot of different places right now campaigning, and I'm sitting here. And this will go on for a very long time. It's very unfair."
The presumpitve GOP nominee has also faced limits on his freedom of speech after the New York judge issued a gag order that prevents Trump to comment on witnesses in the case. Trump was found to have violated the order on nine seperate occassions on Tuesday, resulting in a $9,000 fine.
Despite the major drawback to his campaign, Trump has still regularly been dominating Biden in the polls. A recent poll from Emerson College found Trump was leading in every swing state. Trump's biggest lead was in North Carolina, where he led Biden by five points, 47 percent to 42 percent. The 45th president also led in the other swing states by a few points, some within the margin of error of three percent.
The poll found that Trump led in Arizona by four points (48 percent to 44 percent), Georgia by three points (47 percent to 44 percent), Wisconsin by two points (47 percent to 45 percent), Pennsylvania by two points (47 percent to 45 percent), Nevada by one point (45 percent to 44 percent), and Michigan by one point (45 percent to 44 percent).
