Former President Donald Trump invoked Jesus and a Bible Psalm about accusers being judged and stricken Monday as he headed to court to try to dismiss charges related to the $130,000 payoff to Stormy Daniels. Trump, who has repeatedly denied Daniels’ claims they had a sexual affair, posted Psalm about ‘wicked’ accusers, on a day he tore into ‘crooked’ politicians and a judge he called ‘corrupt,’ while facing a deadline to pay a $454 million bond in his New York fraud case.
‘Received this morning—Beautiful, thank you!,’ Trump posted on his Truth Social site. He then quoted a supporter as telling him, ‘It’s ironic that Christ walked through His greatest persecution the very week they are trying to steal your property from you. But have you seen this verse…?’ The Psalm, 109:3–8 from the New King James Version of the Bible, begins, ‘ They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer.’
His post came after he compared his real estate properties to ‘babies’ being snatched from him while he appeals the court judgment, in trials he compared to a ‘crime being perpetrated against me by Crooked Joe Biden and his political Hacks and Thugs.’ It contains stark language about sin and hatred, as well as ultimate vengeance on accusers.
‘Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few, And let another take his office.’ The next line in the Psalm, which Trump did not post, explicitly referenced the death of the accuser.
‘Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow,’ it said. The post was one of many Trump made before and en route to court, while his real estate empire was under threat. He attacked ‘crooked’ politicians, claimed all the cases against him were ‘rigged,’ blasted a New York judge’s massive $454 million court judgment that puts his property ‘babies’ at risk, and claimed the entire country was ‘CORRUPT.’
‘This is a witch hunt. This is a hoax. Thank you,’ Trump said in unusually brief remarks inside Manhattan criminal court. The former president once again claimed his prosecution in multiple jurisdictions was ‘coordinated’ by the White House, even as local authorities in New York prepared to slap liens on valuable properties following DA Letitia James’ threat to ‘seize’ properties if Trump failed to make good on a $454 million judgment against him.
After boiling over online, Trump visited court Monday morning for the start of his criminal trial where he is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records over $130,000 payments. ‘These are Rigged cases, all coordinated by the White House and DOJ for purposes of Election Interference.
THE NUMBER ENGORON SET IS FRAUDULENT. It should be ZERO, I DID NOTHING WRONG! The D.A. Case, that I am going to today, should be dismissed. No crime. Our Country is CORRUPT!’ Trump wrote in one angry post on his Truth Social network.
