that is our show for this evening. now it is time for a special defendant trump addition of the last word, with lawrence o donnell. that starts right now. donald trump s principal occupation is defendant. he spent his first couple of years after leaving the presidency as a civil defendant, and then last year became a criminal defendant for the first time in his life on april 4th and just four months later. he became a criminal defendant for the fourth time in his life. it mantra jen, he can make two of the four criminal prosecutions he is facing disappear, but the rest of defendant trump s criminal and civil cases would simply be put on pause for four years. in june of this year donald trump will turn 78 years old. he could be convicted of crimes by then or shortly after, he is june 14th birthday. 78-year-old donald trump will appeal every criminal and civil verdict against him. the state and federal appeals court process could easily use up the rest of a 78 year old life.
