'They just handed him the 2024 election': Supporters praise Trump after arrest

Donald Trump told the world that America "is going to hell" in a defiant speech from the ballroom of his Mar-a-Lago resort following his arrest in Manhattan, capping a day of high drama that put the former president centre stage as he plots a return to the White House. In a choreographed rally-style appearance, Mr Trump said the case against him was "an insult to our country" and insisted he had not committed any crime just hours after being charged over alleged hush money for affairs paid to a porn star, glamour model and former doorman. Despite being warned earlier about his rhetoric in court in New York, Mr Trump lashed out at the judge overseeing his criminal case, calling him the "real criminal". #unitedstates #florida #donaldtrump Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
