Trump could have chosen to commit any of his 34 felonies in any city, county, or state in the nation. But he chose to commit those 34 felonies in a heavily Democratic location. Not too put too fine a point on that observation, but
1) Trump's political identification has been all over the place. Wiki does a decent job summarizing his political affiliations, citing liberal's and conservative's opinions as to the reasons for the switching back and forth between Dem, Rep, and Independent, seeking acceptance/respect/power.
All that switching while also going through bankruptcies, fraud trials, divorces has got to be tough on ones psyche. It's no wonder he sounds like a raving lunatic upon being convicted in his home town.
and 2)
C'mon man... Trump is a native New Yorker. He only changed his official residence to Florida in September of 2019. He's a New Yorker from his accent and schpiel, right down to his gold plated Trump Tower toilets.
Like so many other wealthy New Yorkers, Florida was Trump's winter retreat. 2019, Florida residency become a legal strategy as well. But make no mistake about it..... Trump shat the bed in New York, home sweet home, and that New York provided a jury of his peers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_..."Conservative commentator Mary Katharine Ham characterized Trump as a "casual authoritarian," saying "he is a candidate who has happily and proudly spurned the entire idea of limits on his power as an executive and doesn't have any interest in the Constitution and what it allows him to do and what [it] does not allow him to do. That is concerning for people who are interested in limited government."[31] Charles C. W. Cooke of the National Review has expressed similar views, terming Trump an "anti-constitutional authoritarian."[32] Libertarian journalist Nick Gillespie, by contrast, calls Trump "populist rather than an authoritarian".[33] Rich Benjamin refers to Trump and his ideology as fascist and a form of inverted totalitarianism.[34]"
