Trump is in trouble again. According to China News Network, former US President Trump posted on social media on the 8th local time that he was indicted for federal charges. This is the second indictment Trump has faced, and he is the first former president in U.S. history to be criminally charged with federal law. Trump is currently riddled with lawsuits, coupled with the former arch-rival Biden, and the former deputy "backstabbed", the road to the presidential campaign is difficult.

Indicted for "confidential documents gate"
According to surging news reports, Trump said on his personal social media "real social" that the US Department of Justice notified him that he was being indicted and that he was "summoned to appear in federal court in Miami at 15 o'clock on Tuesday (13th)." Trump wrote: "The corrupt Biden administration has informed my lawyers that I have been indicted, apparently because of the box scam (referring to the classified documents gate)... I never imagined that such a thing would happen to a former president of the United States. ”
According to previous media reports, in August last year, Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida was searched by the FBI, and about 11,000 documents were seized, more than 100 of which were marked as confidential. Last November, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel Jack Smith to conduct a months-long investigation into Classified Documentsgate.

Trump is charged with at least seven counts in the indictment, according to sources. In April, Trump had just broken a record by falsifying business records for paying hush money to stars, becoming the first former president in the United States to be charged with a criminal offense. But the prosecution for "confidential documents" may be the most dangerous of the many legal threats he faces.
Former allies broke the news
The old opponent over there chased and fought fiercely, and the old ally here burst into "stabs". According to reference reports, former US Vice President Mike Pence began his campaign campaign on June 7 to compete for the Republican presidential nomination. Pence harshly criticized his former boss, saying Trump should never return to the White House.
Pence broke the news in his speech that day, saying that Trump mistakenly asked him to violate his oath to the U.S. Constitution and overturn the 2020 election results during the 2021 Capitol riot. Pence accused Trump of abandoning conservative values and forcing him to "pick sides." "On that day, President Trump also asked me to choose between him and the Constitution... Now, voters will face the same choice: I chose the Constitution, and I will always be. "Anyone who is above the Constitution should not be President of the United States."

For much of Trump's four-year term, Pence was seen as Trump's steadfast and loyal deputy. Pence was responsible for presiding over the certification of the congressional election results that year, and Trump's loyal supporters believed that Pence's refusal to overturn Biden's victory was a "traitor" act, and many rioters even shouted "hang Mike Pence" when storming the congressional hall. Since then, Pence has drifted away from Trump.
The trouble continues, and the dust is still on the rise
The 2024 Republican nomination is increasingly competitive, with more than 10 people reportedly on the list of Republican presidential candidates and growing. In addition to some old faces, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and others are also engaged in this fierce competition.
According to data from the famous poll analysis website "538", Trump's support rate is still dominant in the Republican Party, reaching 53.8%, and DeSantis, who is regarded as the strongest opponent in Trump's party, has a support rate of 21.3%, and there is still a gap between strength and Trump. Pence's approval rating is only 5.4 percent, and his candidacy hasn't changed much of a Republican candidate.
On the one hand, Trump has developed a sense of crisis, and a significant portion of the electorate has turned its attention to new faces such as DeSantis, suggesting that he may no longer be the only option. But on the other hand, Republicans of every genre want to come in and kick in, but the anti-Trump forces in the Republican Party further divide themselves, which is not a bad thing for Trump.

As long as it is related to the US presidential election, the public opinion field is always bloody, the "plastic friendship" is torn up, and the explosive black material will come when it opens its mouth, so that voters have seen enough of the drama of "tearing each other's heads and flowers". Trump is riddled with many lawsuits, fierce confrontations with the Biden administration, and also takes the energy to fight with the former younger brothers, will the "beautiful and miserable" character make himself win more support, or make himself more anxious?
