for donald trump there is not a political calculus but he is used to getting away with all things. he expects it to happen in this case. he believes he is above the law and started his entire life. the only people who are going to not budge we knew this before the trial began. they are going to be his base. outside of that, the maga base he will not win an election off of but he is going to have a moderate and swing voters. he s going to have to have suburban women but there are several vote still left out there. they are going to be shape what goes on the courtroom. they are paying attention to the ways in which he is holding himself and the ways in which he is trying to intimidate those who are sitting in the jury pool and the ways in which she is retreating and doing other things on social media to showcase his support of people who believe i can and attacking these individuals.
