‘Trump rages’ and ‘Russian troops are laughing’

The continued fallout from former US President Donald Trump’s conviction dominates front pages on Saturday. “Trump rages at Biden’s ‘fascist state'” says the Daily Mail, which also questions wife Melania’s “deafening silence”. Former *** Prime Minister, now Mail columnist, Boris Johnson, argues the conviction will actually help Trump win the November presidential election.

The Daily Mirror splashes on Trump’s outburst, describing him as “deluded, deranged, dangerous”. In his 40-minute speech following his conviction on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, “Felon Trump” ranted “at everything” and “turned his rage on migrants”, it says.

The Times features the same snap of Trump as the Mirror but headlines on the forthcoming *** general election. Labour leader Keir Starmer “seeks to win from the centre ground”, promising to “create wealth”, it says.

An interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky leads the Guardian’s Saturday coverage, with the leader of the embattled country saying US President Joe Biden’s delay in allowing the use of Western weapons against Russian territory means Russian troops are “laughing” at Ukrainians.

The i leads on public opinion polls ahead of the general election, which it reports indicate a majority like the Conservatives’ pension policies but still want them out of No 10. It also reports on drama within the Labour Party, claiming deputy leader Angela Rayner has won “the public battle” with Keir Starmer in the row about the treatment of veteran MP Diane Abbott.

The Financial Times describes Trump’s speech as “lashing out” as the former president vows to appeal against the verdict. Staying in US news on the front page, the paper also reports that Joe Biden says ******* has offered a new ceasefire deal to ****** involving a “lasting ceasefire”.

The Daily Telegraph leads with Boris Johnson’s take on Trump’s historic conviction, arguing that the verdict will make it more likely for him to win against Joe Biden. Meanwhile, King Charles and Queen Camilla enjoyed a “nail-biter” of a horse race in Surrey.

The Daily Express leads with a report on an at-home prostate ******* test. The test is set to “turn the tide on prostate *******”, the paper reports.

“Boffs love ET” the Daily Star declares, quoting an astronomer as saying that “most brainiacs do believe that aliens exist”. Trump is described as “a bit cross” after his conviction.

Donald Trump’s confirmation that he’ll appeal against his conviction for falsifying business records means that, for the second day in a row, many of the front pages feature photographs of the former US president. The papers largely focus on his news conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan where he repeated claims his trial in New York had been”rigged”. “Trump rages” says

says it was a typical rambling speech from the former president, summing up with, “Don rants at everything.”

Many of the papers also look at how the conviction could affect November’s presidential election in the ******* States, which Trump is hoping will see him returned to the White House.

that the guilty verdict presents an opportunity for Joe Biden, but warns this comes with some risks. He says “press the point too hard, and it will play into the false Trumpist narrative that the Manhattan trial is part of a partisan witch hunt”.

, Ukraine’s President Zelensky shares his frustrations with the speed of Western decision-making. He tells the paper that a day of talks, a day of contemplating, “takes people’s lives”. He also says President Biden’s delay in sanctioning the use of *********-supplied weapons inside Russian territory, which after months of lobbying was given the green light earlier this week, had left the Kremlin’s soldiers laughing at Ukraine and able to “hunt” its people.

The paper quotes a source with close links to the asset manager as saying the firm was “not throwing in the towel on supporting culture”.
