Many Americans are celebrating the news of Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony charges in a hush-money incident that took place ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Newspaper headlines screamed “ TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS ” and media reports relied on superlatives such as “historic” and “unprecedented” to label the unanimous jury verdict.
