Swe should not rejoice in the misfortune of others, many celebrities have difficulty hiding their joy at the conviction of Donald Trump, who, long before entering politics, was also a personality of the star system, having presented (after having bought it) the Miss Universe competition or even reality TV The Apprentice. The former tenant of the White House was found guilty of no less than 34 counts concerning “falsification of accounting documents” which allowed him to buy the silence of embarrassing witnesses, including the former porn star Stormy Daniels.

Thirty-four, a number repeated by many stars. John Cusack said: “The treacherous and stupid criminal is now a convicted criminal – 34 times over. Now, what will the judge do with Trump’s contempt of court violations? »

The iconic Skywalker Star Wars Mark Hamill, for his part, took pleasure in repeating “guilty” 34 times in red in an X/Twitter publication.

Ana Gasteyer, who plays Lindsay Lohan’s character’s mother in Lolita in spite of myself, she joked: “In retrospect, I’m glad I decided not to drink every time they said ‘guilty’, because I never would have managed to make dinner. »
The relief of Robert De Niro
The most anticipated reaction was undoubtedly that of Robert De Niro, sworn enemy of the former President of the United States who openly supports Joe Biden.
“It should never have come to this. I didn’t want to talk, but I’m so upset. I have to say something. It’s my country. This guy wants to destroy him. That’s all. He’s crazy,” said the 80-year-old actor. Variety.
The person who made more than just friends by calling Donald Trump a tyrant in front of the Manhattan courthouse on May 28 must now take care of his safety: “This makes me even more angry, but I have to be careful about bullying. That’s why I said he’s not going to intimidate us. People have had enough, they will defend themselves. »
On the other side
However, not all stars pop the champagne. In the hangover camp, there is Caitlyn Jenner, pillar of the Kardashian family and fervent supporter of the billionaire. The former athlete and reality TV star was outraged. “This is a scandalous day for America. The whole process was scandalous, of course. Shame on the State of New York. Shame on the corrupt Ministry of Justice,” she wrote on her social networks, taking up the theory of the former presenter of The Apprentice who believes he is the victim of a conspiracy to prevent him from running again.
The sentence, which can range from a fine to imprisonment of up to four years per charge, will be pronounced on July 11. Free or in prison, Donald Trump, who has announced he will appeal this decision, will still be able to run in the November election, in which he is a candidate, and, if elected, govern the country from a cell. There’s nothing stopping him in the U.S. Constitution, although sentencing him to prison will bring another headache: Presidents get lifetime Secret Service security, which means agents would have to live in prison with him if necessary.
