<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Country star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jason-aldean-reveals-advice-late-country-star-taught-him-about-unapologetically-speaking-his-mind" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Aldean</a> said we are living in “scary times” following news that a New York jury found former President Donald Trump guilty.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a post on Thursday on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7m8PCAs8uv/?igsh=MTBlZjE4YzMxOA%3D%3D"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the 47-year-old country singer posted an image of an inverted U.S flag [a symbol of dire distress] on his social media after a </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">jury returned a guilty verdict on all 34 counts against Trump in the hush-money trial.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scary times in our country right now, man,” Aldean’s post read. “When a former POTUS gets treated like this by our justice system, what does that mean for the rest of us???”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If there was ever a time to speak up, IT’S NOW!” he added. “Make no mistake…. We are in trouble.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prosecutors accused Trump of improperly masking reimbursements to repay his former lawyer, </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michael-cohen"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael Cohen</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for a $130,000 payment to </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/stormy-daniels"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stormy Daniels</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in exchange for her silence on an alleged extramarital affair by classifying them as legal expenses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump has denied that the affair with Stormy Daniels ever happened and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
