This, like the last indictment day is great for trump.

All day free publicity and discussion about his run for president. He has the media in his hand following his every move like the celebrity he his not like the criminal he is. Yes it's a great day for trump. He gets to move about at will spreading lies and disinformation about his accusers and getting a bump in the polls I'm sure. Yes it's a great day for criminal trump.

Capitalism has no core decency and today's coverage makes the press money from all directions.
Trump is greed and greed is Trump.

the "capitalist media" wouldn't be there if viewers didn't watch and give them the ratings to stay on air. Just sayin.

at the expense of building any broader support over the course of the the summer. I tend to think this week's unprecedented events will cast his summer campaign as its own worst enemy.

Big police presents, big police escort, judges and lawyers, secret service protection, his pay.
He pretty much does what he wants when he wants with no recourse.

Are paying for his lawyers? That's news. And tax payers always pay for the government, aka the courts as well as the secret service for present as well as former presidents. Not just the ones we like.

many charges is a good day regardless of whether he gets a temporary bump up from the GQPers.

His story in history has been written.

It's criminal charges that can be all-consuming process that lasts months to years, with actual consequence on one's liberty.

His attempt to play righteous outlaw is temporary and short-lived.

This trial is probably over a year away, but that they will someday dump him as a loser is also expected.

Then there's the OTHER investigation Jack Smith is heading -- the one into his January 6 coup d'etat attempt.

An amazingly, fantastic unicorn-filled day of sunshine and lollipops, complete with bailiffs and judges and attorney fees and felony counts. I think this makes him a shoe-in to win the presidency.

Nothing today was “great” for Donald Trump. He’s scared shitless as every deranged rant on Truth Social demonstrates.

And it is going to get worse and worse.
