Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President Donald Trump to an “unconditional discharge” yesterday, meaning the incoming President will not face any form of punishment.

From Fox News. President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced to an unconditional discharge Friday after being found guilty on charges of falsifying business records stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s years-long investigation.

Post a prayer for your state!

 

The president-elect attended his sentencing virtually, after fighting to block the process all the way up to the United States Supreme Court this week. Trump sat beside his defense attorney Todd Blanche.

Trump called the case and his sentencing a “tremendous setback for the American court system.” …

[Judge Juan] Merchan did not sentence the president-elect to prison, and instead sentenced him to an unconditional discharge, meaning there is no punishment imposed–no jail time, fines or probation. The sentence also preserves Trump’s ability to appeal the conviction.

“After careful analysis, this court determined only lawful sentence that permits entry of judgment of conviction is an unconditional discharge,” Merchan said Friday. “At this time, I impose that sentence to cover all 34 counts.”

Merchan added: “Sir, I wish you Godspeed as you assume your second term in office.” …

Trump filed an appeal to block sentencing from moving forward with the New York State Court of Appeals. That court rejected his request.

Trump also filed an emergency motion with the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that it “immediately order a stay of pending criminal proceedings in the Supreme Court of New York County, New York.”

The high court denied the request …

The Supreme Court made a decision to support and join in with those who will now continue to smear of President Elect Trump, and go against the Mandate and will of “We the People.” So, now with the Judge’s decision it continues, with some TV commentators on the left attempting to shame him by naming him the “first convicted felon” who will take office, and thereby attempting also to shame Americans who voted for him. This unfortunate set of decisions to jump on board with those who want to undermine his Presidency, and the vision he has been given by the ALMIGHTY, has evil intents.
Many Americans believe, his vision and his charge is to fix this mess that has been created. So, I PRAY for the LORD’S help in a growing more support for President Elect Trump’s vision, and that we may come together in PRAYER asking for that growing support. Then I PRAY that the LORD shows each of us the way to peacefully help the President Elect in our own way, to make this Nation all LORD wants for it, for HIS GLORY.
I further PRAY for those on the Supreme Court and the Judge who have placed President Elect Trump in this position. I PRAY for them all, for they know not what they do, or do they understand the peaceful resolve the American people who have stood up against tyranny have, by giving this mandate. Let’s not forget, “We the People” have spoken.

“Pay me off or I will tell your wife, children and anybody else who cares that we had an affair” with steamy, often made-up details, is extortion. If paying those people off were a criminal offense, quite a few members of congress are also guilty and they use our tax dollars to do it. President Trump was a private citizen when this “offense” occurred, and it was a matter of bookkeeping. As head of a large corporation, Trump didn’t personally keep his books. They had to make up rules for the jury, who convicted on technical issues with no underlying crime. This whole trial was political, and so is this verdict. They knew they couldn’t sentence a sitting president to jail, esp, over this painfully contrived non-crime. They do,however, get to gleefully stamp Pres. Trump as a convicted felon. This is solely an effort to harm his ability to govern us, without a single thought about weakening the U.S., not just our president, on the world stage at a very dangerous time. Proverbs 24:24

I’m so discouraged by our judicial system. Too much power and too many power hungry judges.

This is the most ridiculous, and inappropriate thing that has happened in a series of nonsensical developments with regard to President Trump and his “legal” issues. Why doesn’t this obviously misguided and deceived judge do the right thing, and acquit President Trump of any and all wrongdoing? Lord Jesus, I pray that President Trump will be vindicated completely and fully of these bogus, nonsense charges that are symptomatic of how bizarre our legal system has indeed become in America. Thank you Jesus

Heavenly Father, apart from judging the judge’s motives, I am reminded that our sins will find us out. We know, I think, that in Trumps’ past there was an encounter of some kind with the woman who extorted that money from him and started this whole process. This is a harsh sentence, a dark blot on what we hope will be a legacy for good, all told. Help President Trump to rise to the occasion and forgive this judge and all who perpetrated these charges against him. They are small men and women, caught up in the spurious power of their positions and able to make names (they thought), for themselves. Let history swallow up this judgment, and President Trump overcome the shadow it has cast. He has great things to attend to, and we pray that he will just move on and leave retribution to You, in Jesus’ just name, amen!

Merchan added: “Sir, I wish you Godspeed as you assume your second term in office.”

Even a corrupt judge said words of blessing over President Trump. This reminds me of the unwilling prophet, Balaam blessing Israel three times! Numbers 22-24

Thank You, Holy Father, that You alone are worthy of all honor and praise!! Thank You for sending Your angel armies to provide a mighty hedge of protection around President Trump and His selected cabinet.

Draw our returning President closer to You and Your love; give Him wisdom and humility, remembering that You are the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

We pray that Your will be done and Your kingdom come in and through each one of us, then our neighbors, cities, States (we lift up all the victims affected by the wildfires, the recent hurricanes, and all those homeless,, hungry, hurting); may Your will be done in Washington D.C. (unite the GOP in Your Spirit of unity, LORD!), our USA, Israel (a hedge of protection around them: peace!! and draw Abraham’s seed to the knowledge and revelation of Jesus, the Messiah), and, finally, may Your will be done all over this world. For You are the One we look to, hope in, trust and love with all of our hearts, souls, minds and strength! Amen.

I believe this is because of the divine anointing Trump has. This is an example of judge bowing down to Gods will to show a visual “washing his hands off” of the issue so the judge isn’t judged by our Highest Judge in the universe. May God continue to bless and shine His glory through this administration. We will see His hands on many things as corruption bow down to Jesus. Glory to God!

It is a travesty that brings even more distrust to our judicial system. It demonstrates the truth that the system was weaponized against a political opponent, and used for election interference. That is treason, and all parties will be judged, either by man or God, or hopefully both. May the justice of Yahweh be leveled against His adversaries.

Thank You, Father, for Your Spirit of grace and truth being upon Donald Trump. Thank You for helping him endure injustice and humiliation at the hands of wicked men. Forgive us as a nation for turning away from You Bring us back, Father. We humble ourselves and seek Your face. You have promised to hear from Heaven and forgive our sins and heal our land. We wait in hope and we love You. Amen

Let all of God’s People use these things as entry to proclaiming the Gospel. That we ourselves were at one time proclaimed guilty but the punishment removed because of Christ yet unlike this decision we were also pronounced innocent because the Innocent One took our place, taking our sin upon Himself and giving His Righteousness in return.
Lord, help us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, to have an understanding of the days we are in so we may know what we are to do.

For Trump to even be accused was an obvious witch hunt and a waste of taxpayers money. But isnt that what liberals do best…being void of common sense and wasting Americans’ money!? I cant wait for a true leader that loves America to finally get back in the White House! Thank you God! Please continue to watch over President Trump! 👍

Father, I pray that the entire truth of this matter would be exposed. Whatever the case, I also pray that Pres. Trump and his family would have hearts of forgiveness for any and all injustices committed against them. May you lead him and his family forth in peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Grant him a humble spirit. Cover him with Your grace and mercy. Continue to give him the vigor he needs to execute the duties of the office he will soon hold. Protect and guide him supernaturally. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I see this whole trial and court system as a “Kangaroo Court.” It was totally a Democratic Party effort to stop Donald Trump from becoming the next President and it didn’t work. The unconditional discharge will not work either. God is in control and the Democrats are not. Give God the glory, trust Him and see what is going to happen.

It is appalling what our Government has done to President Trump! It is one of the greatest injustices in American history.
77 million people have seen the “witch hunt” performed on this man by reelecting him as our nation’s president.
God’s justice will prevail!!
That is my hope, my prayer, my faith in my Jesus, who is all knowing, all seeing, and who will be the true Judge against these demonic acts, and lies on President Trump.

I will pray, as Jesus did, when being crucified, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”
I will pray, and have prayed, that God would bring this judge, and those pulling the strings behind this judge, to repent of their lying schemes to destroy President Trump.
God help them if they do not repent.
Meanwhile, I continue to pray, to fast, that Jesus will use what is meant for evil, and use for good!
I pray, and fast, for President Trump, his family, the entourage that surrounds him to have God’s wisdom, God’s discernment, God’s legion of angels, leading them in on paths of righteousness for His name sake!
In Christ’s Holy Name I pray!!
Amen

    Thank you, Nancy, for putting our thoughts and prayers into words. Our once great country is in shambles. Our children are being raised and taught in our schools to believe so many lies about God and our beloved America. Americans need to peservere and not give up! Greater is He that is in you than is in the world!
    The righteous, law-abiding and God-fearing population has come together and accomplished the first step: Electing President Donald Trump as our 47th President! Thank you Lord for answered prayer! Now we need to stand together as a United People to prayfully support God’s choice for our country. Let’s M.A.G.A.!

The judges goal all along was to get Trump any way he could. Dragging him through their weaponized justice system brought them delight. In the end Merchan saw this as his last option of leaving a public stain on President Trump….his personal mark of shaming him. God knows the thoughts and intents of all hearts involved, and He alone will have the final say.

I believe entering convictions formed from LAWFARE on one’s permanent record is criminal and unjust!! I also believe Judge Merchan needs to be DISBARRED and REMOVED FROM THE BENCH. I believe Judge Merchan just walked into the trap he set for Trump!! He is currently in GOD’s Judgment Court now, and I pray for JUSTICE in all of this for President Trump, in Jesus’ Holy Name, AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!

God’s will will prevail. His anointed will not be mocked. God wins in the end. Trump has fortitude, stamina, fearlessness, and a vision of greatness to be restored to America. More importantly, he is God’s chosen leader for this time in history.
I continue to pray for safety for all those associated with his new administration, his family, employees etc
God’s will for America is about to be implemented.

Now that an appeal can be filed, may God fully vindicate President Trump in that process according to Jeremiah 20:11 But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.
