“For the first time in a decade, Trump is struggling to command attention,” Benjamin Wallace-Wells writes. Even so, his high-money trial is shaping up to be a sleazy spectacle. https://t.co/UxrqA74svw

Now I understand why Trump really opposed funding for Ukraine, and why he pleaded publicly for the House to help him:
Strapped for cash, and facing an estimated seventy-six million dollars in legal fees, he spent much of the winter courting billionaires at Mar-a-Lago. Having inveighed against White House plans to aid the Ukrainian war effort and to either force a sale of TikTok or ban it, Trump watched as Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, helped propel both proposals into law. (“GOP lawmakers take Trump’s policy orders with a grain of salt,” a headline in The Hill read.)He wanted that money for himself.
