He really is unbelievably pathetic. When so many people are barely scraping by, It's nauseating to see someone born into that kind of wealth and privilege squander it all away just to feed his gargantuan ego.

When you think about it, almost oerything he's ever done, including all the criming, has been done because of that. He couldn't "just" be rich; he had to bend over backwards to constantly make himself look richer and more important by falsifying business records AND lying about things like the size of his triplex at Trump Tower and the value of his various properties. He couldn't just sit back and enjoy his luxurious life; he HAD to run for potus, because nothing else was good enough for him.

And he might have gotten away with most of it if he hadn't felt compelled to 1) run for potus in 2016 and 2) refuse to accept his loss in 2020 like a normal person would. Which led to lots of additional criming. Now he's trying to juggle a floundering political campaign while defending himself in what's probably just the first of his many criminal trials.

I know some still think he's going to get away with everything, but I don't agree. He's already being punished by being forced to sit in that courtroom day after day, where he is being treated like a mere mortal and where he will soon be forced to listen to a litany of just some of his wrongdoings without being able to say a word in protest.

This isn't going to be his last trial, either. He is NOT going to win in November, and all of the other trials WILL proceed (with the possible exception of the one Judge Loose Cannnon is trying to sabotage).

I don't personally even care if he ever goes to prison. I just want him to be convicted, to be known henceforth as convicted felon Donald Trump. That alone will be huge. After being convicted in the current trial, he will officially be not just a loser, but one of the biggest losers ever. That is a fate worse than death for him, and he'll be miserable for whatever's left of his sorry life, whether he spends it beind bars or in home confinement.
