The reduced bond has a lot of people feeling out of sorts. It may be helpful to remember that:
1) the court room drama remains a thorn in Trump's side. It eats at him. Look at his deranged posting on TS last evening. Every minute he spends dealing with court proceedings is a minute not devoted to campaigning or fund raising. More importantly, constantly being on trial isn't a good look and the never-ending reminders of Trump's impropriety (criminal activity) may influence independent voters.
2) defeating Trump was never dependent on the trials. He's lost a solid 20% of the republican base to Haley voters, the majority of whom when polled have declared they plan to vote for Biden now that Haley is out. No candidate can lose 20% of their party's base and have a real shot at winning (short of chicanery).
Schadenfreude took a hit today. It would have been nice seeing ketchup spilling out of the man's ears, true. But this is not the end of all things good, ya know? He's down a few hundred million, the media seems to have joined in on mocking him, and the criminal proceedings have yet to begin. Rub some dirt in it.

(1,415 posts)Today wasn't a win by any means. I'm disgusted by the process and have zero faith in the judicial system. It just isn't apocalyptic news.
Regardless, let the wailing and gnashing of teeth proceed.
