Trump trial proves to be political after all

I am not so sure about that. That is akin to saying "If elected I will prosecute all criminals" was that promise even made? Without context it is hard to judge. Trump was no prosecuted because he is a Republican. He was prosecuted because he was guilty.
So much to unwrap there....
Saying that they will prosecute a specific person as a part of their campaign is totally opposite of saying they will prosecute all criminals.
Also, when someone says, "He was prosecuted because he was guilty", they're setting aside the "innocent unless proven guilty" idea that our justice system is (or used to be) based on.
But it's not surprising when liberals are willing to set aside the foundation of our legal system when they're more interesting in targeting political opponents. That's what makes liberals the true enemy of democracy.

Some more truth for you to flat out ignore:
Trump's case was tried in New York, where the statute of limitations is five years for all but the most serious felonies and two years for misdemeanors. The charge against Trump, falsifying business records in the first degree, is a Class E felony. That means the statute of limitations is five years.​
Trump's lawyers moved to dismiss the case in its early stages based on the statute of limitations, but Merchan rejected the argument. In a pretrial decision, the judge said the pandemic extension stretched out the deadline for the prosecution by one year and 47 days.​
"In other words, this felony prosecution had to be commenced within six years and 47 days from when the crimes were allegedly committed," Merchan wrote.​
Trump was charged within days of the potential deadline. The extension "brought the conduct described in the indictment within the prescribed five-year time limit," Merchan wrote.​

It was a misdemeanor charge that had to be manipulated to become seen as a felony in order to have a trial.
When SCOTUS gets ahold of the case, they'll see it for the sham trial it was, and it will be overturned. The dems know this, but are hoping the SCOTUS won't see it until after the election--proving that it's all about politics.

We don't know that one way or another for now.

You never proved your initial claim. Try again.

As the darkness loathes the light, liberals loathe Trump.
Shine the light!
I find it singular and indeed threatening that Trump's followers don't give a proverbial for his personal morality ─ lying, raping, infidelity and whoring, criminal falsification of documents to deceive in business &c ─ or his practical incapacity to lead when president and the chaos that was his presidential office ─ or his utter stupidity in giving away US defense secrets to ingratiate himself to the US's enemies, on and on. Apparently he represents some form of corruption that they all long to achieve ─ not just anarchy, but criminality, deceit and betrayal.

If that's for you, well, enjoy the mud and the swamp.

We don't give a proverbial for all that nonsense you spouted because none of it is true. It's just a bunch of hateful propaganda from left wing extremists that simply don't adhere to the values of tolerance and inclusion they lie about wanting for everyone.

Court rulings are "propaganda"?

Trump is NOT a rapist, you say? A jury disagreed with you and real money is likely changing hands as a result.

Trump is not a falsifier of business documents for gain, you say? A jury disagreed with you and convicted him of a felony ─ after Trump passed up the chance to enter the witness box and testify under oath to his claimed innocence.

Trump's presidential office was NOT a constant wall to wall mess, you say? High turnover of top staff on a scale unmatched in memory?

Trump did NOT remove from secure holding a number of highly classified documents found lying around his personal house, you say? Check with the FBI.

Trump DID built his promised wall to keep aliens out? Nope. He didn't.

Trump did NOT orchestrate and encourage the sacking of the Citadel where a number of people were killed, you say? Have you read the testimony of people convicted and jailed over the matter? They dang sure thought so. Were you there yourself? If so, did you try to kill anyone?

Trump never dealt with whores or was unfaithful to his spouses? We have sworn evidence to the contrary which Trump has not denied on oath.

How sad that none of this registers with Trump believers. Or perhaps I should say, Trump make-believers ...

Ah well ─ if you're married, or when you marry, may your spouse have Trump's morality and act like Trump. That should keep you smiling.

Juries often get it wrong, especially when they saw how Los Angeles suffer when a jury didn't convict 3 cops based on edited video. Or how the "peaceful" black lives matter thugs killed 25 people and caused 2 billion in damage after some black guy died in Minneapolis.
Twelve ordinary people can easily be intimidated into ruling the way society's violent Left wants them to.

But he wasn't convicted of rape.

Civil suits are not hard to win.

I mean really. A woman won a $2.8 million lawsuit against McDonald's for stupidly putting hot coffee between her legs.

If he is guilty of rape, why no criminal charges and trial?
