(Bloomberg) -- After Donald Trump’s felony conviction last week, commentators in China and Russia wasted little time in trumpeting the failure of American democracy. Chinese social media users reacted with bemusement, urging Trump supporters to again storm the US Capitol and warning of a civil war. State-run CCTV called the upcoming election a “farce.” Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said “the entire world” could see Trump was being persecuted “by all possible lawful and unlawful means.” Of course, Russia and China have long blasted the US system. But this time, their claims echoed those of Republican legislators following last week’s criminal trial that found Trump guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment to a porn star. Even high-ranking lawmakers from Trump’s party described the process as “weaponization of our justice system,” and in some cases vowed to do turn judicial scrutiny on Democrats. So you think that since the Russians and Chinese are saying those things that we should just let this sham of a trial stand? That we should lower ourselves to the third world and other governments that imprison their opponents? Be careful what you wish for. 😉 Maybe you should look at the OP?

45 had every opportunity to take the stand and clear things up, but was strongly advised not to by his lawyers. They vetted his testimony beforehand and knew that he would only dig a deeper hole for himself. Facts don't lie. But all politicians do.
