The former president complained that his sentencing is set to take place days before the Republican National Convention

Donald Trump says he wants the Supreme Court to intervene in his upcoming sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. 

“The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,” Trump wrote Sunday night on Truth Social, complaining that Judge Juan Merchan was an “‘Acting’ Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED” to “make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation.”  

“The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!” Trump added in an appeal to the nation’s highest court.

As much as Trump is obviously guilty as fuck, I'm not willing to adopt the "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from the cops law" mentality.

Nobody said anything about trusting the cops, lol

Don't Talk to the Police

It’s really easy to avoid sentencing, I’ve done it all my life by following one simple rule: Don’t Do Crimes.

Yeah, sorry, I misunderstood this to mean, "not doing crimes == not being convicted". Which sounded a lot like the "if you're innocent, you have nothing to fear from the police" mentality.

All good! Sounds like we're on the same page anyways
