While Democrats may have hoped that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump would hurt his 2024 campaign, recent polling shows the proceedings have failed to seriously impact the president’s chances.
Trump will enter his fourth week of the New York trial on Monday, where he faces 34 felony counts related to allegedly falsifying business records when reimbursing a payment to pornstar Stormy Daniels in 2016. Several polls released since the start of jury selection on April 15 have found that a potential conviction won’t deter voters from supporting Trump in November. Moreover, individuals nationwide say they don’t believe the former president acted illegally

If I was the guy telling Bragg and his persecution team and the crooked judge, I'd tell Pres Trump that he could show up for trial at his pleasure and feel free to skip as many days as he wants.
Trump gets two (maybe three) free daily press conferences compliments of the NY Court System (morning, possibly at noon, and the end of court), carried by all the news outlets. Then, Bragg's clown car of prosecutors bring in some witnesses that end up bolstering Trump's case and fail to prove any of the weak-as-diswasher-watered-down-soup charges and actually set up more grounds for dismissal (on appeal, of course) for introducing "evidence" for crimes NOT charged .
Plus, Trump seems to find a police precient, fire station, or bodega at least once a week to appear before happy, friendly crowds in New York .... a city he LOST by 85-15 in the last two elections.
I'm thinking there is now a real possibility that many of the jurors are going to be sick and tired of wasting four days a week for six weeks on this slop and vote to acquit Trump.
Yeah, if I were advising Bragg and the crooked judge, I'd tell them to wrap this up real fast. It's kinda like the guy who advised the judge on "Miracle on 34th Street" not to rule against Santa Claus.

I think all the trials and fake charges are geared towards one thing: getting Trump actually in jail, even if he'll clearly win on appeal. If they have him totally under the thumb of jailors and away from his own security they can Epstein him, and don't think they would hesitate to do that. The treasonous deep state players are ruthless and their very lives are on the line if Trump gets back in power.

I don't think they can separate him from his Secret Service protection.

This "trial" is an obvious, pathetic fraud and everyone can see that and see that these crooked political hacks are desperate to harm Trump.
It is helping him, instead.

The best these silly little legal sleazeballs can do is to take some campaign trail time away, time that Trump effectively makes up at the following rally. They should worry about their careers instead because they are essentially over.

This was never a real case to begin with. It's only purpose was to drain Trump financially and keep him tied up in court. None if which have worked. I suspect the WH is wetting the bed right about now.

#3 - The Dems in Congress are trying to move legislation that would strip any President convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison be stripped on Secret Service protection. So far it has been blocked.
Trump still manages to campaign even on days court is being held. He visited the bodega after session one day, and the construction site early one morning. He is also given daily press conferences with all media present; TV, radio, print and internet. It has blown up in the faces, as we all knew it would.

#3, Would you want to bet President Trump’s life on that statement? Remember, with this cabal, nothing is off the table if it would mean victory for them. They have shown themselves to be utterly lawless and ruthless. We have never in this country had to deal with such a malevolent and determined administration. Unfortunately, now it’s all on the line and democrats will not stop at anything because they believe they are above the law.

The rest of the world is looking at this objectively and rightfully concluding that America has crossed the line into a Banana Republic. Election interference and the weaponization of the DOJ and court system.

This persecution of Trump has gone on so long anyone with a brain sees the corruptness behind every charge is coming from the deep swamp Trump is determined to eradicate. Even before he was elected swampsters in Federal Agencies were working to smear him - remember the "insurance" deal surrounding the fake Russian Collusion ranting? Then waiting with their baited breath for Robert Mueller's report and the guy could hardly stay awake while mumbling there was nothing there to charge Trump? They just go on & on wasting $$$$ with hopes something will stick. YES it's backfiring and hopefully more with sense will realize the evil intent of all of it. And just what is so wrong with wanting to Make and Keep America Great anyway????

Democrats have no idea how strongly Trump supporters are now determined to support our candidate. These lawfare tactics only increase our anger as they demonstrate how corrupt the woke judges and prosecutors now are.

FTA -""Democratic strategist Katie Grant Drew echoed some of Messina’s sentiment, and told the outlet that the trial “will provide a stark contrast between the priorities of President Biden, who will be focused on getting work done for the American people, and Trump, who will be focused on his own personal legal travails.”"
This is the garbage that Bragg set up because Obie, Billary, and Bragg all thought they could destroy Trump with it. And they still might. Let's hope that the lefty jurors put their politics aside long enough to acquit and put this witch hunt against President Trump out to pasture.

Has anyone considered the DOJ or some other agency suggesting to the jurors they better convict Trump or watch out for themselves and their families?

The article says 76% of Trump supporters would vote for Trump regardless of the trial outcome. That means 24% would change their vote. That is more than enough vote reversals for Biden to beat Trump. What is to celebrate here?

Sure, these show trials seem to actually be helping Donald’s poll numbers as the public comes to realize the absurdity of Biden’s evil persecution of his political opponent, but the daily confinement and imposed gag order are certainly having a negative effect as well. Imagine if he were free to run a normal campaign like in 2016. The numbers would be even more devastating to the Socialist/Marxists.
There is no reason Donald must appear in court every day and be muzzled other than the Judge’s desire to prevent him from campaigning.

NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by the New York District Attorney for allegedly bringing firefighters pizza but without a house salad or cheesy bread.
"After a lengthy day in court, former President Trump personally delivered pizzas to New York firefighters without a single leaf of salad or some cheesy bread," declared District Attorney Alvin Bragg. "For the sake of our democracy, he must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and then a bit futher."
According to sources close to the investigation, Trump allegedly attempted to feed firefighters without any sides to accompany the delicious fresh pizza. "Has Trump no decency, no shame?" cried MSNBC's Joe Scarborough as he played clips of firefighters shaking Trump's hand. "Look at those firefighters being bamboozled by this charlatan. Not a crouton in sight! Lock him up! Lock him up!"

I accuse Stormy Daniels of being a prostitute. I accuse the daughter of Colombian Judge Juan Marchant of working for Shifty Shift.
