Donald Trump declared his latest criminal indictment “a badge of honor & courage” in an all-caps rage against “election interference” Wednesday.
“IF I WASN’T RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, OR IF I WAS LOSING BADLY IN THE POLLS (I AM WINNING BY RECORD NUMBERS, & AGAINST BIDEN ALSO!), I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FAKE INDICTED,” he fumed on Truth Social.
“LIKEWISE, IF THE VERY CORRUPT DEMOCRATS TRULY WANTED TO RUN AGAINST ME, I WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN INDICTED. IT IS ALL A BADGE OF HONOR & COURAGE. I AM BEING INDICTED FOR YOU!!!”
Minutes earlier, he’d posted that the indictment – which accuses him of illegally keeping dozens of top secret government files in his Mar-a-Lago home – was meant to cripple his election chances because the Democrats couldn’t stomach a fight at the ballot.

“Please remember that the only reason I was indicted (ELECTION INTERFERENCE) is because the Democrats don’t want to run against me,” he posted. “They weaponized the DOJ & FBI. I am beating Crooked Joe Biden in virtually every poll, and easily beat him in the last election, but the election was RIGGED. In 2016 it was the same thing, spewed from the mouths of the same failed pundits and losers. They said I couldn’t beat Hillary - How did that work out???"
