TRUMP IS FURIOUS!! If the judge accepts Jack Smiths proposal to begin Trumps trial on January 2, 2024, the criminal defendant will be spending most of January in a DC courtroom instead of barnstorming across Iowa and New Hampshire during the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses.
Since prosecutors expect the trial to last up to 6 weeks, that also means Trumps campaign would be severely disrupted ahead of the Super Tuesday blitz of 16 GOP primaries on March 5th.

(131,232 posts)Nobody is forcing him to run for president (though of course he's doing it mainly to keep his huge orange ass out of prison), and as Judge Chutkan just reminded him, he'll be treated as any other criminal defendant irrespective of his campaign.

(11 posts)Trump has obligations to Putin. That is my analysis. He needs to run to try to ruin America. If he does not give his best effort, the punishment woud be worse than that provided by any local constitution or law.
