Cause And Effect?

Alex, I think it is a good chance that it was strategic," he replied. "And this will be an ongoing theme we talk about this [hush money] trial. Trials cannot accommodate uncontrollable witnesses. and so a number of things we saw happen during the first few days of this trial will come up because president Trump — the former president —can open the door by making statements publicly that are not true that can go back to bite him in the courtroom." 
"So his lawyers would prefer for him to say as little as possible from now until the trial is done," he added.
I can’t agree there’s a causal connection here, although there’s a plausible explanation that Trump waited until the last minute to cancel (was he actually in the air? He wasn’t so far from NC he couldn’t have known about the forecast and canceled earlier, only to announce it “from his plane” which never left New York. If the man came in soaking wet and said it was raining, I’d step outside myself.) because his lawyers got through to him. It’s just as likely thunder scares him. Does Trump connect what he says with how he loses in court? There’s no public evidence of it. 

But is he opening doors every time he steps in front of a crowd/camera? Absolutely. Is he going to learn that lesson? Has he?

We’ll see.
