President Donald Trump is keeping hope alive and well after enduring his third arraignment of the year in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, where he pleaded not guilty to four federal charges related to a grand jury’s investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
On Friday, he wrote on Truth Social, “Biden & Garland file bogus cases against me so it becomes difficult for me to campaign. Nothing like this has every happened before. Must be Unconstitutional? BUT SOMEHOW, WE WILL WIN IT ALL!!!”
Shortly following his arraignment on Thursday evening, the president facetiously wrote that he had a “VERY GOOD DAY” in Washington, despite the legal persecution.
He stated, “CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I HAD TO FLY TO A FILTHY, DIRTY, FALLING APART, & VERY UNSAFE WASHINGTON, D.C., TODAY, & THAT I WAS THEN ARRESTED BY MY POLITICAL OPPONENT, WHO IS LOSING BADLY TO ME IN THE POLLS, CROOKED JOE BIDEN, IT WAS A VERY GOOD DAY!”

President Donald Trump has easily maintained a whopping lead over the field of Republican primary opponents this year. A new Morning Consult poll tracking the 2024 Republican primary found that the president held a 43-point lead over his Republican challenger, Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.
The president’s polling numbers have continued to climb nationwide on the heels of each indictment and subsequent arraignment. He joked this week that he only needed “ONE MORE INDICTMENT TO ENSURE MY ELECTION!”
Just after his arraignment in D.C., President Trump spoke with reporters who were waiting just beside Trump Force One at the Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport.
He explained, “This was never supposed to happen in America. This is the persecution of the person that’s leading by very, very substantial numbers in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot. So, if you can’t beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. WE CAN’T LET THIS HAPPEN IN AMERICA.”
