I wonder how many of his supporters fell for the grift and sent him donations in the last few days.

I listened to rightwing talk radio while running some errands this morning. It seems like the the rightwing propaganda mill is pivoting away from Trump towards deSantis. They were listing all of Trump's personal failings and comparing them to "family man' DeSantis.

It seems that Trump has become enamoured of AI generated images as well:

Trump Chooses Violence

In the movie The Untouchables, there is a gruesome scene in which Robert DeNiro, playing the mob boss Al Capone, beats a man dead with a baseball bat. I couldn’t help but think of that scene when I saw Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social yesterday. It’s difficult to make sense of such imagery...

He must have typed "me praying, with my lawyers and accountants worrying in the background. Also, give me a razor-sharp tie that has cut straight through my thigh."

The final battle. Its getting all apocalyptic now.

As far as it helps or hinders his chances of winning a presidential campaign goes the question isn't really if this has any effect on the MAGA hat wearing idiot types (which it won't except for possibly making them dig in more), it's whether it has any impact on swing voters and the voters who generally vote Republican but don't have any particular love for him as a candidate. Chances are he already doesn't have enough of those onside to win an election anyway (hence losing last time, the massive loser) so if it makes any sort of dent there then he's in trouble.

He'll inspire all his followers with a wonderfully eloquent appearance in court as he heroically and repeatedly pleads the Fifth.

Can they get some of those airway-restricting officers to do the arrest?

If someone does an AI pic of him giving a blow job it might put a lot of them off.

Dunno, my guess is he benefits from this (however much fun it will be).

I've not really been following it in detail, but does prosecution impact on his ability to get the nomination and then run? Will this all play out before the election? Can you run with a criminal record?

Anything is possible in the fucking US.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Whatever happens , it might be a drawn out process. I’m going for a conviction in the first round and it being overturned on appeal. MAGA

Yep, you can run with a record and even run from jail.

there have been at least three people who ran for the presidency while in prison. Eugene V. Debs was the 1920 candidate for the Socialist Party. He was in prison for protesting against U.S. involvement in World War I.

Can a candidate run for president while in jail?

Voters sometimes opine that certain elected officials should be in jail. In this case, one might already be there.

I don't see how he possibly wins at the next election. He'll mobilise voters against him as he did last time, even if they don't much like whichever centrist nobhead the dems run with.

Republican strategist types all know this. Their best bet is someone like DeSantis. A new generation of evil for them to get behind. So there's a part of me that thinks Go Donald Go.

Donald Trump Has Been Indicted. Don’t Get Your Hopes Up.

This is the first real attempt to hold Trump legally accountable for any of his many alleged crimes. But the odds of securing real justice seem very long.
