"intuition and imagination and intelligence"
Most Americans ignore or laugh at the way Trump speaks. He uses the phrase "bad people" off and on, and it makes him sound a bit illiterate. Many of us believe his speaking about the criminal conviction that has labelled him as a felon, will end up convincing more people that he doesn't belong back in the White House.
After all -- Who wants a presidency bent on going after American citizens with nothing but hatred, anger, and revenge? Come election day the American nightmare Trump has put us through will be over.
A plurality of Americans, 50%, think former President Donald Trump's guilty verdict on all 34 counts in his hush money trial was correct, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds, and almost as many, 49%, think he should end his 2024 presidential campaign over the result.
Still, following the historic criminal trial that ended this week in a first-ever conviction of a former president, Trump's favorability has remained stable at 31%, according to the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel. Trump was found guilty of 34 counts on Thursday in his trial related to falsifying business records regarding a payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election in order to keep her quiet about their alleged affair.
The former president has vowed to appeal, saying on Friday that "bad people" had levied the case – and charges– against him.
