Numb And Number

Trump is not being strategic. He’s just desperate for money, and he figures jail will flail (!)  the outrage nerve attached to his supporters wallets one more time.

Does he want to go to jail? Then why did he attack Merchan this time, instead of the jury or a witness? He heard the judge bristle at the “two systems of justice” comment in the show cause hearing, so he goes for “kangaroo court.” But if he really wants to visit the cells, he could stand up and read that post in court. Or this one:
#DonSnorleone

Such an act of defiance would get him in a cell instanter. He doesn’t want to go to jail. He wants credit for the possibility. He wants to touch his supporters in their happy place, so they’ll send him money, without putting himself at risk. But you can only tickle that spot so many times before it becomes dull, and then numb.

Even going to jail might not work. And that’s what he fears most.
