Trump's conviction isn't going to be the big turning point of this election. What happens after his conviction will. If he continues to spew vitriol about the judge, prosecution, and jury, eventually one of his followers will commit an act of retribution. That puts Trump in a difficult spot, because his core likes this kind of stuff. He will want to show his support, but if he does, it will again show he encourages domestic terrorism. If he does anything other than condemn the attack, his support among moderates will fall away, just like it did after Jan. 6th. If he does condemn the attack, his core may protest, like they did when he changed his opinion on the COVID vaccines.
Yeah that would be weird to see Trump forced into awkward rambling doublespeak that doesn’t make sense if you listen to the words.
XD
I listen to the words and then arrange them into an order that doesn't contradict my preconceived notion that Donald is the good one.
Trump don't care.
I look forward to seeing pics from his incarceration with no makeup and no hair stylist. It'll be epic.
You may get your wish sooner than later. He's still under the gag order, and he's violating it again.
Like the prison guards won't bring in make-up artists themselves for their boi
Whatever he does his follows will either: say the attack was commited by ANTIFA and is a false flag or say Trump never condemned the attack or never showed his support
Why do you think it will be "the big turning point of this election" when he's already encouraged the Jan 6 insurrection? He literally could murder someone in NYC like he said and nothing would change in polling. It's a ridiculous situation.
I think we’ve seen from recent Republican races the polls are way off, especially support for his brand.
