Trump whines before criminal trial begins: 'I was a very popular and successful President'

Donald Trump had a meltdown hours before the beginning of his first criminal trial, whining that he was once a "very popular and successful president."

Trump, who is set to face jury selection on Monday in the hush money case where the former president is accused of falsifying business records to conceal a "catch-and-kill" scheme to impact the November 2016 presidential election, said on Sunday that he will be heading to criminal court.

"Just four years ago I was a very popular and successful President of the United States, getting more votes than any sitting President in history," Trump said. "Tomorrow morning I’ll be in Criminal Court, before a totally conflicted Judge, a Corrupt Prosecutor, a Legal System in CHAOS, a State being overrun by violent crime and corruption, and Crooked Joe Biden’s henchmen 'Rigging the System' against his Political Opponent, ME!"

Trump then continued:

"I will be fighting for myself but, much more importantly, I will be fighting for our Country," Trump said. "Election Interference like this has never happened in the USA before and, hopefully, will never happen again. We are now a Nation in serious Decline, a Failing Nation, but we will soon be a Great Nation Again. November 5th will be the most important day in the History of the United States. MAGA2024! SEE YOU TOMORROW."

Trump spent Sunday raging against his various legal cases. In another post on Truth Social, the former president said, "I’ve got 8 Biden cases (lawsuits!) going on at one time."

"They want to take money I would use for the campaign, and my time. Never been done before in our Country. Crooked politicians and corrupt prosecutors and Judges. November 5th is the most important day in the history of our Country. WE WILL WIN! MAGA2024."
