Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty in his hush money trial, marking him as the first US president to be convicted of a felony.
The verdict has sparked a wide range of reactions across the political spectrum, with Trump himself admitting that the guilty verdict is a 'bad thing' and expressing a wish for more 'sorrow' for him. Critics of the verdict, including some commentators, view the conviction as a travesty and argue that it diminishes America, making the country smaller and pettier. Meanwhile, President Biden has criticized Trump's response to the conviction as reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible.
The conviction and its aftermath have ignited a fierce debate about justice, political retribution, and the future of American democracy.
