Convicted felon Donald Trump is blaming the judge, the jury and New York for getting identified guilty on 34 counts. He will by no means accept accountability for his crimes. Americans need to not enable this felon anyplace close to the White House once more. https://t.co/UcFfAU3bv5

“Convicted felon Donald Trump is blaming the judge, the jury and New York for being found guilty on 34 counts,” Barbra tweeted. “He will never accept accountability for his crimes. Americans must not allow this felon anywhere near the White House again.”

Jimmy Kimmel

The late evening host played a clip of Donald walking out of the Manhattan court to speak to reporters. The former president claimed he was a “very innocent man” fighting for America, adding “And we’ll keep fighting, we’ll fight to the end, and we’ll win.”

“And if we don’t win, we’ll say we won anyway,” Jimmy stated in response to the clip. “Listen, I have bad news: the only thing you’re going to be fighting to win is the Jell-O cup on your prison cafeteria tray.”

“Today would be a good day for the GOP members to engage in serious self-reflection about their devotion to a convicted felon,” the comedian tweeted alongside a note which started with him writing, “There is a man running the GOP who wishes to be elected president of the United States.”

Robert De Niro

As a single of Donald’s most outspoken critics, the actor told Variety in a statement that “this never should have gotten to this stage.”

“I don’t want to be talking, but I am so upset by it,” Robert added. “I have to say something. This is my country. This guy wants to destroy it. Period. He’s crazy.”

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi broke her track record of avoiding saying Donald’s name on The View — only calling him “You Know Who” for years — in the course of the episode that aired a single day soon after the verdict was announced.

“I’m going to say something you’ve never heard me say before,” she started. “But Donald John Trump is a convicted felon.”

WILL TRUMP SERVE TIME IN PRISON? After a New York jury identified the former president guilty on all counts in his hush funds trial, #TheView co-hosts query if he will serve time. https://t.co/cVclFZQmjA pic.twitter.com/ZjE5RgLrBl

The View co-host drew gasps from the crowd by noting she “spent the morning talking to someone from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office,” who “believes they will recommend a one-year term in prison and that is because when you spend a year in prison in New York, or under, you serve in Rikers Island.”
