Resentment over his treatment has been nurtured not just by Trump but by some conservative commentators, Republicans in Congress and White House rivals. Republicans who acknowledge the different circumstances have kept a lower profile.
Kathleen Evenhouse took a break from her work in the corner of a small-town Iowa coffee shop to slam the federal criminal indictment of Donald Trump as patently political, the work of a U.S. Justice Department she says is awash in hypocrisy.
“If you dig a hole and then you have to climb out, it's going to be harder to do,” Evenhouse said. “And that's where I think he is.” Last week marked a jarring point in the presidential campaign when the Justice Department moved forward with the indictment, a first for a former president, let alone one accused of mishandling top-secret information.
“It makes me sick that there seems to be completely different criteria for a conservative, and especially Donald Trump," said Sue VanEe, a 68-year old retired farmer who was waiting for a friend at the same coffee shop where Evenhouse was writing. “Completely different. Like opposite.” Most Republicans, however, said he should not be charged, and 80% of them believe the charges are politically motivated, according to the ABC poll.
At a farmer's market in Bedford, New Hampshire, Tom Zapora was chatting with friends and snacking on a “tornado potato,” a spiraled, fried potato on a skewer, shortly after Trump's appearance in court.
