Donald Trump Convicted: MAGA Token’s Wild Ride After Verdict

As an analyst with a background in finance and law, I find the recent conviction of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to be a significant development. The verdict comes after a historic trial that began on April 15 and lasted for over nine hours.


A New York jury has concluded that Former President Donald Trump is legally accountable for all 34 charges of falsifying business records. This signifies that the president has been found guilty of committing a criminal offense. The verdict was reached following an extensive trial that lasted for approximately 9 hours and 30 minutes, which began on April 15th.

As an analyst, I’d rephrase it this way: During the closing stages of the 2016 presidential campaign, allegations arose that I, Donald Trump, had manipulated financial records concerning a payment made by my former lawyer Michael Cohen to adult film actress Stormy Daniels as part of a hush money arrangement.

After the verdict was announced in a Manhattan courtroom, Trump criticized the trial as biased and accused the presiding judge of being prejudiced and corrupt. The sentencing is set for July 11, which is only a few days before the Republican National Convention. Each charge comes with a potential sentence of up to four years in prison, although it’s predicted that the sentences will be served at the same time rather than one after the other. Trump’s lawyers requested that he be released prior to sentencing, but their motion was rejected by Judge Juan Merchan.

As a constitutional legal analyst, I can tell you that some experts believe Trump may face house arrest pending an appeal, increasing the likelihood that he could carry on with his campaign.

It’s intriguing how the largest meme token associated with Trump, referred to as MAGA (TRUMP) token, underwent noticeable fluctuations following the verdict. Approximately $130 million in market value evaporated within a 20-minute span, causing the price to plummet from $13.48 to $11.27. Nevertheless, the price has since rebounded and now sits at $14.70 – just 1.5% below its 24-hour peak of $14.92.

As a researcher studying the impact of news events on social media trends, I’ve observed that tokens related to Donald Trump, such as “Super Trump” (STRUMP) and “Baby Trump” (BABYTRUMP), experienced noticeable decreases in usage following certain news stories. However, unlike the main token “Trump,” these variations didn’t bounce back as effectively.

The verdict compounds the numerous legal predicaments confronting the ex-president, who is under investigation for various reasons, such as his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection and his handling of classified materials post-tenure.
