Donald Trump thanks Boris Johnson for denouncing his convictions as a ‘machine-gun, mob-style hit job’ after he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business documents

Donald Trump thank you openly Boris Johnson in a message on TruthSocial to the former British Prime Minister wrote an article for The Daily Mail in support of the now convicted ex-president.

Johnson wrote that Trump had been the victim of a “machine gun mafia-style murder case” and called those responsible for the prosecution “liberal elites.”

On Thursday, the Republican presidential candidate was convicted of 34 charges of falsifying company records to stop a porn star Stormy Daniels of making public the couple’s alleged tryst.

Trump is the first US president ever convicted of one crime next six months before the rematch between him and the incumbent Joe Biden. He will be sentenced on July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention begins.

Late Sunday, Trump wrote on his social media platform: “Thank you to Boris Johnson!” He followed that up by posting three quotes from the article.

“This was a machine gun-style assassination attempt on Trump. It was purely political – and will make his victory more likely, not less,” the first said.

Johnson then called the process “nakedly political” and “completely artificial” and said Trump was caught by Democrats on a “technicality.”

“Except that anyone with any common sense can see what I consider to be their real motives, how they searched the rules for things they could use against Trump,” Johnson wrote.

Elsewhere in the piece, Johnson said the American public knew the case “in broad strokes, a bunch of stunted old nonsense.”

“The vast mass of American voters could see what I think was really happening: that liberal elites were simply shocked by Trump’s continued popularity and his ability to connect with voters — and they were using whatever they could find to support his campaign to derail’ continued.

‘If you look soberly at his term in office, both nationally and internationally, it was much more successful than his left-wing critics allow. They should not use legal tricks like this to prevent him from getting the judgment that really matters: the judgment of the people.”

Johnson added that the conviction will make a Trump victory in November “more likely, not less.”

Trump also posted a photo of the two former leaders sitting together. Trump previously said he will appeal his conviction.

Both current Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labor Party leader Keir Starmer were on the sidelines regarding Trump’s conviction when asked during the campaign.

‘What I would say is that the US has always been an important partner and ally of Britain. I have always had a good relationship with my counterpart, whoever British Prime Minister should make that a priority. Of course I respect the justice system of the United States,” Sunak said.

“We will work with whoever is elected president … but it is an unprecedented situation, there is no doubt about that,” Starmer said.

Trump and Johnson have a storied history, with the former president once calling the former mayor of London “Britain Trump.”

In recent months, it has been reported that Johnson has tried to lobby Trump to convince him to support aid to Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.

In 2022, Trump named Johnson a “friend,” but said he “suddenly became a liberal, he went to the other side.”

Meanwhile in an apparition on Fox & Friends this weekend, Trump revealed how his wife and youngest child are coping with his conviction.

“It’s harder, I think in many ways it’s probably harder on my family than it is on me,” Trump said.

“I have a wonderful wife who has to listen to this stuff all the time,” he said. “I think it’s very difficult for her, you know she has to read all this.”

Trump said his 18-year-old son Barron, who recently graduated from Oxbridge Academy, is focused on his future.

‘He is great. He is tall, good looking and a very good student. He’s applied to colleges and gets in everywhere he goes, you know? He is very sought after from a point of view, he is a very smart guy,” the ex-president said.

“He’s a very tall man and a great kid. He is cool. He’s pretty cool, I can tell you that.’
