Aiexpress – Social media users took to mocking Donald Trump after a video surfaced showing his supporters dispersing during a speech at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president, is currently entangled in several legal disputes that he claims are politically motivated attacks by Democrats. Recently, New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump must pay a hefty sum of $354.4 million as a result of a civil fraud trial. The trial concluded that Trump had artificially inflated his assets in order to deceive lenders.
In connection with her second defamation lawsuit, the former president has been recently ordered to pay writer E. Jean Carroll a staggering $83.3 million. It is noteworthy that in the first defamation trial of the Carroll case last year, he was already held accountable and faced a $5 million judgment.
“Lots of empty seats and people moving and talking as Trump is speaking at his own home,” Patriot Takes, an account that documents right-wing extremism, posted Monday night on X (formerly Twitter). “Not even the most loyal MAGA Republicans who make the pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago can stand listening to him go on and on.”
In the video, it is challenging to understand what Trump is saying. The video has already been viewed over 290,000 times on various social media accounts. As he addresses a room that appears to be filled with empty chairs, individuals can be observed standing up and departing from the seating area.
Two days after his appearance at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia for the launch of his $399 “Never Surrender” high-top sneakers, which are now being resold on sites like eBay for as much as $7,500, Trump was spotted at Mar-a-Lago.
According to the website selling the sneakers, CIC Ventures LLC holds the trademark for the designs. It explicitly states that the sneakers are not created, produced, distributed, or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, or any of their associates.
Despite the legal challenges that Trump is currently facing, he continues to make significant progress towards securing the GOP presidential nomination. In contrast to Trump, his only Republican rival, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, has affirmed her intention to remain in the race during a recent speech.
“When the future of our country is at stake, you don’t give up. You persevere. In fact, you fight with even greater determination. That’s why I am adamant about not quitting,” she declared.
A recent poll conducted by Emerson College and The Hill suggests that the probability of a surprising win for Haley in South Carolina appears dim. The survey reveals that a majority of South Carolina Republicans, specifically 58 percent, intend to endorse Trump, while only 35 percent expressed their support for Haley in the primary election.
