Trump is now facing a total of 91 criminal charges in four separate cases across different jurisdictions. Yet, for criminal indictments and the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison, has not humble the former president in the least. He remains unrepentant and unapologetic for his actions, and, if anything, hes grown more defiant.
