It’s another day, another chapter in the Trump-versus-the-system saga, and Judge Juan Merchan is playing a starring role.
President-elect Donald Trump, never one to mince words, slammed Merchan in a scathing Truth Social post on Saturday, calling him “the most conflicted judge in New York State history.” The trigger? Merchan’s ruling that Trump must report for sentencing in the hush-money case on January 10—just ten days before Trump’s inauguration. The timing alone raises enough eyebrows to make even the most politically indifferent Americans take notice.
Trump’s outburst wasn’t without ammunition. Merchan, who reportedly donated to President Joe Biden’s campaign, is overseeing one of the most controversial cases in recent history. Let’s connect the dots: a judge with a political bias presides over a case involving his preferred party’s chief political opponent. Convenient, isn’t it? Trump didn’t hold back, labeling the case a “fake, made-up charge” and accusing Merchan of working on behalf of the Biden-Harris “Injustice Department.”
What’s the substance of the case, you ask? Allegedly falsifying business records over a payment labeled as a legal expense. Trump’s take? The records were accurate, above board, and fully transparent. His accountants testified as much. Yet here we are, wading through a trial that feels more like a political vendetta than a pursuit of justice.
Even Merchan has hinted that incarceration isn’t on the table, so why proceed with this circus? To drag Trump through the mud, of course, and taint the image of a president-elect right before he takes office. The optics couldn’t be clearer if they were neon-lit.
I’ll NEVER FORGET when Judge Merchan FORCED President Trump to delete this post and fined him $9,000.
Stormy Daniels and Judge Merchan definitely wish this letter didn’t exist.

This isn’t Merchan’s first rodeo in controversial cases against Trump. Trump alleges that another New York judge—infamous for valuing Mar-a-Lago at a laughable $18 million (when it’s worth at least 50 times that)—similarly worked with a political agenda. Add to that the highly questionable $100 million judgment in a case brought by a woman Trump says he never met, and you begin to see a pattern: the legal system in New York seems to be more interested in kneecapping Trump than in seeking actual justice.
Trump’s frustration with Merchan—and the broader New York judicial landscape—isn’t just bluster. These cases are emblematic of a legal system increasingly weaponized against political enemies. Trump points to companies and people fleeing New York, and it’s no wonder why. With a corrupt court system and overzealous prosecutors turning every disagreement into a felony, who wants to stick around? This is the state of “justice” in blue strongholds, where the rules bend to serve the narrative.

And let’s not forget the bigger picture. Trump’s criticisms of the Biden-Harris DOJ ring true for many Americans who see the double standard. Hunter Biden gets a sweetheart deal, Hillary Clinton’s email scandal vanishes into thin air, but Trump? He’s buried under endless investigations and lawsuits. The establishment isn’t just attacking Trump; it’s attacking the millions of voters who dared to elect someone outside the swamp’s control.
As Trump continues his fight, one thing is clear: this isn’t just about a legal case. It’s about exposing a system that’s more interested in silencing political opposition than upholding justice. And come January 20, the swamp better brace itself. Trump isn’t just back—he’s bringing the receipts.
