Trump promised to reschedule a rally at the same location, with a “bigger and better” event
Donald Trump had to cancel his first planned rally since the start of his criminal hush money trial because of a storm in North Carolina, an added complication for the former president and presumptive Republican nominee as he juggles legal troubles and his rematch against President Joe Biden .
“It’s political persecution, and if it were anybody else he wouldn’t have to be dealing with it,” said Christian Armstrong, a 28-year-old firefighter who lives in Wilmington and was attending his first Trump rally. LeeAnn Coleman, a 42-year-old who is in a family restaurant business, said “it’s ludicrous that he’s having to do this at all,” rather than spend time focusing on “all the problems he wants to fix.”
Those sentiments validate or at least reflect Trump’s strategy to use his mandated court time to his advantage by folding the proceedings, the first time an American president has faced felony criminal charges, into the same populist, anti-establishment arguments that first fuelled his rise eight years ago.
“They want to keep me off the campaign trail,” the candidate-turned-defendant insisted earlier this week in Harlem, where he visited a neighbourhood convenience store and addressed a throng of media outside after spending the day at his own jury selection. Rather than pursue violent criminals, he alleged, “They go after Trump.”
