With… handcuffs wants the former president of America to appear in courtDonald Trump as he revealed to his advisers, should he be indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for his involvement in the high-profile porn star case, Stormy Daniels.

According to the British newspaper “Guardian”, Donald Trump is reported to have argued that if necessaryhe will sit in the defendant’s dock, handcuffed. He will hand himself over to the authorities without any resistance to be fingerprinted, in order to turn the process into a “show” showing the Americans that he is a victim of political persecution. His obsession with presenting himself in this way is because he worries that if he appears in court via video call or if he starts hiding in the courthouse, it would make him look weak or like a loser, as people close to him have commented.

Other sources said the ultimate goal of Trump’s appearance in handcuffs in court is to win the American vote ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

His legal team reportedly advised him to surrender quietly next week by scheduling a remote court appearance, even citing concerns for his safety.

However, Trump reportedly rejected that suggestion, telling various allies over the weekend that he didn’t care if someone shot him because that would make him a “martyr.”

It remains unclear when a Manhattan court will announce the indictment in the Stormy Daniel case that could make Trump the first sitting or former US president to face criminal charges.

It is recalled that Trump is accused by the Democratic prosecutor of Manhattan for a case in which, in 2016, it is alleged, through his former lawyer, that he gave the amount of 130 thousand dollars to the then star of erotic films, Stormy Daniels, in order not to speak and not to reveal the relationships which he kept with him since he was in pre-election period.
