Trump has taken a lot of people to court. Mostly on business matters; commercial matters. Or he’s been taken to court, for the same. He’s never faced criminal charges, or been in court against a government that doesn’t back down or get intimidated, or run out of money.Perspective by Monica Hesse: “The judge in the E. Jean Carroll trial made Donald Trump play by the court’s rules. Was it a glimpse of the former president’s future?” https://t.co/tRh0eo3yfa

Or have a good case Trump can’t understand. It’s seldom been personal to Trump, so he thought he was invisible and bulletproof. It finally caught up with him. Now it’s personal.
Personal as to the judgment (he can’t put the company into bankruptcy and leave the suckers holding the empty bag). Personal as to his required presence in court; and subject to the rules of court. Personally subject to those rules.
Imagine Trump forced to sit quietly for four weeks of a criminal trial. Forced to sit because he can’t be excused, and because the court won’t send him out of the courtroom. Instead the court will chain him to a chair, or gag him, if necessary. But he will sit through the trial. He will play by the court’s rules; whether he wants to or not.
The tweets every night alone will be interesting. How long will he understand anything can and will be used against him in a court of law?
Not very long, is my guess.
