Storm of reactions in the party of Republicansof Democrats but also his own anger Donald Trump has triggered the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court in the United States of America, according to which the former president of the country is ineligible to run for the presidency because of his actions after the 2020 elections.

The Supreme Court of Colorado has ordered the name of Donald Trump to be removed from the ballots of the internal process of the Republican party in this State, through which their candidate for the presidential election scheduled for November 2024 will emerge.

Although the front-runner for the Republican race did not directly respond to this judicial impasse, choosing to continue his inflammatory rhetoric from Iowa against immigrants he posted, in the end, on the Social Media, Truth Social, which he controls, “what a shame for our country. A sad day for America.”

For its part, his campaign team decided to exploit the decision to raise more money from the grassroots, as it has already done with the former US president’s other legal adventures.

And of course, he is not sitting idly by since he will take advantage of the leeway to implement the decision until January 4 that the Colorado court has allowed and appeal to the federal Supreme Court of the country. If they meet the Jan. 4 deadline, the suspension will remain in place and election officials will have to put his name on the ballot until the Supreme Court’s decision is received.

In the federal Supreme Court of the United States, the Republican nomination favorite could be said to have the upper hand as conservative justices hold a clear majority with three of them directly appointed by Donald Trump himself.

However, as reported by international news agencies, it is always dangerous to predict the decision of the country’s federal Supreme Court, especially now that most people are talking about uncharted waters and it seems difficult to guess how the judges will act judging only by the their ideological position.

Regardless of whether the Colorado decision is upheld or not, the debate that has already opened turns the spotlight once again on the scrutiny of Trump’s involvement in the events of January 6.

The court in Colorado justified its decision by explaining that Trump’s efforts “to overturn the results of the 2020 election are tantamount to engaging in insurrection, and Article 3 of the 14th Amendment, ratified after the Civil War, bars insurgents from holding federal office , including the presidency”.

For his part, the former US president has maintained that more than 1,000 people arrested since the attack, including the 600 eventually convicted, are political prisoners, and he continues in his new election campaign to hint at fraud in his election. 2020 – a belief that motivated those who carried out the January 6 attack on the Capitol in the first place.

The first act of the American pre-election drama raises the curtain and there are not a few who explain that the Colorado court decision can trigger a barrage of related decisions from other States as the legal debates have led to appeals to the Court of Justice of several States. Of the approximately fifteen such procedures in various states, two have already been dismissed in Minnesota and Michigan, with the Colorado justice being the first to rule that Donald Trump cannot be a candidate.
