'Most people are fed up': Internet divided as Jesse Watters claims Americans are 'willing to put up' with Trump’s drama

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In recent commentary, Fox News host Jesse Watters asserted that a majority of Americans are willing to endure the drama surrounding Donald Trump in exchange for perceived peace and prosperity.

Watters' remarks come as the former president is fielding legal battles left and right while also gearing up to face Joe Biden in the 2024 election.

Jesse Watters' critique of hush money trial and its impact on Trump campaign

Watters focused on the recent trial concerning hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, criticizing the involvement of Democratic prosecutor Alvin Bragg and questioning the impartiality of the judge.

He stated, “Cut Donald Trump's hush money trial, but the only one being hushed was him. Because if he criticizes the case, the judge will throw him in jail. A Democrat prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, keeping the Republican nominee off the campaign trail for six weeks."

"That means Donald Trump isn't even allowed to attend his son Barron's high school graduation. If he tries to go, the judge will throw him in jail for that too...about election interference, that's all it's about," Watters claimed.

Watters' portrayal of Trump as a victim of political persecution comes in the broader context of his legal troubles and the public's response. Throughout his presidency, Trump's tenure was marked by controversy, from allegations of collusion to divisive rhetoric.

Jesse Watters' criticism of judicial integrity

Downplaying Trump's actions by comparing them to past presidential scandals, Watters said, "Who is this judge anyway? He's a Biden donor. And the Biden-Harris campaign and Adam Schiff paid his family members millions. Who's the prosecutor? Alvin Bragg, a lazy Soros-funded DA who fights Trump instead of crime."

"Half the felony charges that come across his desk he downgrades to misdemeanors. But not this one. He takes a bookkeeping misdemeanor and Frankensteins it into 34 federal felonies. A form of legal acrobatics that's never been seen in the history of American law," Watters noted.

"Bragg is arguing that Donald Trump should have paid Stormy Daniels with campaign funds and filed it with the FEC. If Donald Trump had used campaign money to pay off Stormy Daniels, he would have been indicted years ago," he added.

Reflecting on allegations campaign finance violations and obstruction of justice, Watters argued, "You can't spend campaign funds on personal matters. The campaign finance laws say politicians cannot use campaign money on personal expenditures like plastic surgery or buying new suits or golf club memberships."

"Even though those things technically may help the campaign, they're personal. They're personal. And what's more personal than spending money to protect your marriage? He used his own money, his own lawyer, to handle a personal matter," he added.

Diverse responses to Watters' claims

The responses to Jesse Watters' assertions were polarized.

One user wrote, "Thanks for saying it Jesse! It needed to be said!."

Another added, "I think most people are fed upped."

One user commented, "Good job, Jesse."

Another added, "Trump didn't lead to peace and prosperity -- he left the world in a worse position."

One replied, "Horrible memories."
