Former President Donald Trump, facing a $355 million fine imposed by a New York judge on his businesses, passionately addressed a crowd at a Michigan rally, denouncing the decision as a “lawless, unconstitutional atrocity that sets fire to our laws.” The event, held in Waterford Township near Detroit on Feb. 17, saw Trump asserting that the legal system had been weaponized against him and vowed to end such practices once back in the White House.

Trump, the leading Republican contender for the presidential nomination, accused Democrats of orchestrating multiple civil and criminal cases against him, branding it as “election interference.” Despite legal challenges, he emphasized his victories in Republican preference contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, setting the stage for upcoming battles in South Carolina and Michigan.
During the rally, Trump highlighted his expectation of a “monumental victory” in Michigan, sending a clear message to President Joe Biden and his allies. He criticized Biden’s policies, claiming they were detrimental to Michigan’s automobile manufacturing industry and union jobs.

The former president dedicated a substantial portion of his speech to denouncing the New York case, where Justice Arthur Engoron ruled him and the Trump Organization liable for inflating asset values. Trump called it a “complete and total sham” and argued that the civil fraud case lacked victims, defaults, damages, or complaints. He accused the state’s attorney general, Letitia James, of pursuing the case as a political vendetta, using an unprecedented consumer fraud statute.
Trump, planning an appeal, predicted that the case’s implications would lead businesses to flee New York, resulting in job losses. He asserted that ongoing persecution of political opponents would deter international business engagement with the United States.
Addressing financial aspects, Trump juxtaposed the hefty fine with the financial losses he incurred during his presidency. Despite donating a significant portion of his salary and experiencing a one-third dip in his net worth from $3.5 billion in 2017 to $2.4 billion upon leaving office, he expressed satisfaction with his presidency, claiming it made America great.

The former president accused President Biden of self-interest and highlighted alleged financial irregularities involving Biden’s relatives. Trump emphasized the negative impact of Biden’s policies on Michigan’s auto workers, criticizing the administration’s push for electric vehicles as a threat to manufacturing jobs.
The battle for union support emerged as a central theme, with Trump rallying auto workers against Biden’s policies. He claimed Biden’s initiatives, including a lack of support for the U.S.-Mexico border wall and leniency toward illegal immigrants, posed a significant threat to unions and American jobs.
President Trump says he will appeal the $355 million fine levied against him:
"This is Russia. This is China. It all comes out of the DOJ. It all comes out of Biden. It's a witch hunt the likes of which our country has never seen."

Trump accused Biden of allowing a surge in illegal immigrants, estimating that up to 18 million would enter the country illegally by the end of Biden’s term in 2025. He emphasized the potential displacement of union workers by cheaper immigrant labor and cited concerns about “migrant crime” affecting citizens, particularly in Michigan.
Closing his speech, Trump urged the audience to vote against “Crooked Joe Biden,” linking the issue of illegal immigration to the broader theme of making America greater. With Michigan being a battleground state for the upcoming general election, Trump underscored its significance, stating, “If we win Michigan, we win the election,” as he seeks a return to the White House.
Trump is set to win a landslide victory in November, assuming the same games are not played by the Deep State and Democrats enhanced in multiples. Cheating is now the ONLY way the Democrats can win in November.
