11. Why would he be campaigning when he has the nomination locked up?

He could say what he said without going to the trial.

Trump is not campaigning, he is using the only defense he has, the mob boss defense. He is sitting in that courtroom staring at the judge sending the message if the judge comes down hard on him, he will unleash his Magats.

Trump said it, "people need to do something about this corrupt judge." The judge has to consider this, he has 24/7 police protection for a reason.
