This is his worst nightmare, he can't control the narrative
He's going to have to sit still for hours, and if he starts acting up the judge will tell him to shut up or throw him in contempt.
Dude can't handle debates because a moderator might tell him what to do. He won't be able to handle court that's livestreamed with a judge.
Nah. He's not like that in court. You can watch him in any of his previous court appearances (he's been there a lot). He sits there and listens and says I don't recall a lot, or he answers questions.
Trump knows how courts work. He doesn't grandstand when he's there.
True, but this is the first time he will have a real live audience...
It's still a court room. It's not like there's stadium seating.
Well, it'll be on YouTube, so there kind of is.
Uh no. He's not going to see everyone in the same room with him. It's a court room.
Look, I'd love for it to be a ridiculous clown show as much as anyone else but your in for a lot of disappointment if that's what you're expecting. He's going to sit there and act just like hes acted in all the other many many court cases he's been in.
He doesn't need to see his audience to know they're there.
But yeah, it's a court case, so it's going to be boring. But I think he'll need to do something to keep his base interested, and just saying "I don't recall" isn't going to cut it.
Yeah, we'll see. I agree he'll definitely play shit up.
There'll be more people watching than likely any other live event in history; he quite literally will never have and has never had a larger platform.
I guess.
Except for that time he was president lol.
You have this fantasy of how it's going to go, but the reality is going to much more boring. The guy has been in a lot court rooms. It's a game he knows well.
Yea, it’ll be like with Alex Jones. Even if he has the ability to not act out or lie in court he still would in hopes of playing to his base and will hurt his case.
What, you think his base is going to believe "The Media"? This is fantastic for him. It gives him the same kind of attention he got in the lead up to the 2016 election, and won him the election.
This will only be a dumpster fire where people who hate him will get to lounge in their schadenfreude, and the people who love him will get to martyr him with all the conspiracy theories they'll come up with to explain away his guilt. The only people who will suffer will be the people who want this clownshow to end for good.
His base will never change, they are a cult and believe what they want to believe. This will just further bury Trump in the eyes of the moderate R's, the ones who held their nose and voted for Biden, or just abstained from voting last time. It will pull the big donors away from Trump. And it will burn his legacy, which is the worst thing you can do to him.
