TRUMP IS FURIOUS!! If the judge accepts Jack Smith's proposal to begin Trump's trial on January 2, 2

Good. Past time to get the actual trials going!

TRUMP IS FURIOUS!! If the judge accepts Jack Smith’s proposal to begin Trump’s 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 Trump’s campaign would be severely disrupted ahead of the Super Tuesday blitz of 16 GOP primaries on March 5th.

Allow Trump to propose an earlier date, but not a later one.

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.

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.
