Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Former President of the United States, US, Donald Trump, has likened himself to the late South African apartheid hero, Nelson Mandela.
Trump made the remark on
Saturday while accusing Judge Juan Merchan of infringing upon his rights to
free speech and expression and breaking the law.
The Republican White House
hopeful has been indicted in four different criminal cases.
The cases may lead to the
77-year-old real estate mogul going to jail.
In one of those cases, he was
accused of paying hush money to a one-time p0rn star before the 2016
presidential election, which he won against Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.
The trial is set to begin on
April 15, and Judge Merchan has imposed a partial gag order on Trump, who has
frequently attacked the judge on social media.
However, taking to his Truth
Social platform Trump wrote:
“If this Partisan Hack wants
to put me in the ‘clink’ for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly
become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR.”
Mandela spent 27 years in prison
before being released and eventually served as South Africa’s president.
He died in 2013.
Trump previously compared
himself to Mandela at a 2023 rally and has also likened himself to Jesus
Christ.
