Robert Kiyosaki’s Reactions to the Conviction

Robert Kiyosaki has expressed deep concerns over President Donald Trump’s recent conviction. Kiyosaki, in a post on X, criticized what he termed a “kangaroo Woke court” for the ruling and called for a fight against the verdict empasizing that Woke is for losers. Subsequently,  in his distress, he called it a “scar and a dark day in America’s history.” 

In addition, he condemned what he sees as the influence of “America hating racist Black Lives Matter” led by former President Obama and President Biden, asserting that America’s “Marxist, fascist, racist, academic left Woke leaders have gone too far.”

In parallel, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, critiqued the conviction on social media platform X, questioning its motivations. Musk suggested that the sentence was politically driven, which could undermine public faith in the American legal system. His comments underline a deep division in perceptions of the trial’s fairness and broader significance.

Donald Trump Found Guilty of 34 Counts

On May 30, a Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. This historic trial is the first time a former U.S. president has faced and been convicted in a criminal proceeding. The decision came after extensive deliberations, focusing on payments made during the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.

The verdict’s approval and final judgment, typically overseen by Judge Juan Merchan, are forthcoming. Sentencing is scheduled for July, and while the charges could carry up to four years in prison, alternative sentencing such as fines or probation are also possible due to the nature of the crime and Trump being a first-time offender.

Additionally, Trump’s legal team is expected to appeal, citing concerns over the indictment’s legal validity and alleged political motivations.
