Trump Can’t Campaign…

I missed this, where Trump complains the articles he’s clutching should be “put in” at trial. In the same day David Pecker testified about all the articles he published that were lies invented by Trump.

He has no idea how a trial works. No wonder he’s miserable.

A good story teller sets the stage for the story:

There was an arrangement that Michael Cohen would, according to David Pecker, would call him up after one of the Republican debates," Schneider explained. 

"Whoever was doing the best at the debate, [Cohen] would direct him — David Pecker — to run a devastating story about that person." 

"That's setting up...for the jury to see, the fact that Trump allegedly seems to have a pattern and history of gaining an unfair advantage during that election," Schneider said. "And I think that that point, although subtle today, is going to come back later on in the trial."

And you know Trump still doesn’t know what happened.

Since Trump can’t campaign, his allies do it for him.

Old news. Real news.

The most significant story from Trump's trial is outside the courtroom where the crowds that once appeared to support him are not there. The trial is about 2020; the quiet is about 2024. Remarkable.

Slowly, slowly, slowly, the narrative catches up with reality. While reality leaps relentlessly ahead.
