Donald Trump has posted yet another Right-wing fueled article to his Truth Social account in an attempt to discredit Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s infamous and sprawling Hush Money criminal case against him.
However, as noted by Meidas Touch, the article had been heavily manipulated before being posted on social media by the ex-president to scrub the piece of any mention of Donald’s long list of transgressions and wrongdoings — including his alleged extramarital affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, one of which took place just weeks after Melania had given birth to their only shared son.
According to Meidas Touch, this is the 3rd article posted by Trump this month that the publication has found to have been manipulated and altered to appear more favorable for the ex-president. These articles all appear to feature the news organization’s logo, title, and byline, yet have been conveniently scrubbed of the portions that contain unflattering information about him.
Trump’s latest slight of the hand came against an article in the National Review, a historically Right-wing publication, penned by Andrew C. McCarthy. The original copy of “Bragg Falsifies Business-Records Charges against Trump” can be found on the National Review website, and centers on accusations against DA Bragg for allegedly manipulating business records in his case against Donald Trump.
However, the irony becomes palpable when you find that an article about Bragg’s allegedly manipulating evidence has, in itself, been manipulated by Trump and/or his people to remove the parts of the already Right-leaning article that outline the bad things Donald Trump has done.

Meidas Touch outlines the following topics that were removed from the National Review article before Trump posted it to his Truth Social account:
1. Stormy Daniels claim of an affair with Trump is credible
2. Trump’s bookkeeping “might indeed have been a minor crime”
3. Federal prosecutors probably believe Trump’s NDA was “motivated by his election prospects”
4. The hush money “expenditure [is] within the coverage of federal campaign-finance law”
5. An admission that “Trump booked” the hush money payment “as if it had been for a different purpose”
6. Trump’s payment to then lawyer Michael Cohen “significantly exceeded the $130,000 loan amount”
7. Trump insisting that he was paying Cohen for legal services “would muddy the water”
8. Trump’s Access Hollywood tape will be heard a evidence
9. Trump boasted “about being sexually aggressive with women” in the Access Hollywood tape
10. Trump wanted to cover up his “unsavory disclosures of a sexual nature” after the Access Hollywood tape story broke “about a month before Election Day”
11. Trump’s National Enquirer friends alerted Cohen to Stormy Daniels “demand to be paid for her silence”
12. Trump wanted to delay payment hoping Election Day would pass and he could pay less, but pressure from Daniels’ lawyer remained
13. Cohen paid Stormy Daniels on October 26 “after getting assurance that Trump would pay him back post-election”
14. Trump’s affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal and subsequent effort to buy McDougal’s silence will be used as evidence against Trump
15. Trump’s effort to payoff a Trump Tower doorman who claimed “that Trump fathered a child out of wedlock in the 1980s”
16. Bragg claims these payoffs are campaign expenditures that Trump was attempting to hide
17. Bragg is attempting to prove Trump committed a felony under New York’s business records falsification provision and acted with “an intent to defraud” which included “an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the admission thereof”
Basically, the big guy had every single merit of the case scrubbed from the article before posting the article to claim that the case has no merit.
