Targeted by 34 counts, former US President Donald Trump appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday, April 4.
The first American president to be indicted by the courts, he is accused of embezzlement of campaign funds for having bought the silence of a former star of the X, Stormy Daniels. Trump, who pleaded not guilty, faces up to four years in prison.
However, observers believe that he could emerge strengthened from this historical sequence. Denouncing a "witch hunt", the 45th American president remains supported by his political family. And even by his own rival, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who denounced Donald Trump's appearance as "contrary to the values of America".
Former television host, the sulphurous Donald Trump has built his career on hypermediatization. If his campaign is not hampered by other cases, he could surf on the media attention offered by his legal setbacks. With a horizon in mind: his potential candidacy for the presidential election of 2024.
Dragged in the dock, but increasingly adored by a part of America: it is this paradox that André-PhilippeCôté draws: Donald Trump raising his arms handcuffed under the cheers of the crowd.
