Quite so. Particularly regarding New York, although this lawfare is national. Thanks to the Democratic Party.

– here is the view from a non-U.S. citizen far across the sea.
For as long as I can remember, the business contracts governing any non-U.S. company or person (say an importer of U.S. products), that sought to enter into a commercial arrangement with a U.S. entity have required that any disputed matter that arose was to be decided in the U.S. court system. In years gone by this was never considered a problem because most non-Americans trusted that justice would be applied impartially in the U.S. jurisprudential system – that is, the belief of non-Americans was that U.S. justice was fair and free of corrupting influence.
The events leading up to and surrounding the way this New York court has convicted Donald Trump have dramatically changed this perception. The result is that trust in U.S. justice has evaporated. It has become obvious to all but the blind that the U.S. system of law is deeply compromised and that judicial process is controlled by interest groups that have political power.
Outsiders do not differentiate between the actions of a New York court or one from Snake Gully County – they are all considered to be ‘American’ – so the judicially compromised actions of one smears the whole system. It is disturbing to see trust in the system of law of a once-great country such as the U.S. reduced to the same stinking level of that of a totalitarian state. For foreigners, it raises the question – why would anyone want to do business with America?
