Another bubble that has been burst by these juries

I always had the fear that on any jury, there would be one or more Trump Cult member that would derail a verdict or settlement. I saw it happen in the fraud trial of former Arizona Governor Fife Symington (R).

But in Trump's case, it seems that between careful jury selection and his own antics, his ability to impress and intimidate is limited.

He should think about that as he faces upcoming criminal trials. The myth of invincibility has shattered.

Usually, he's been able to string things out long enough that people give up and settle out of court. Facing the music in court is obviously out of his comfort zone.

Not no more.
