'Democrats have left Trump with nothing to lose and everything to gain.' -TianaTheFirst
At 77 years old, former President Donald Trump has reached the average American male life expectancy. While more virile than President Joe Biden, who would be more than halfway to 90 by the end of a second term in office, whatever gig Trump achieves in 2024, it will likely be his last. While activist prosecutors may hope that their barrage of legal challenges may handicap Trump’s second bid for a second term in the Oval Office, it has also created a dangerous game theory.
The first round of indictments from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was by far the weakest, a brazenly political attempt to apply federal campaign finance law to less than a quarter million dollars paid to a porn star who alleged a consensual one-night-stand with Trump nearly 20 years ago. The federal documents case arguably has Trump dead to rights, though the Republican faces a potentially favorable jury pool that will be uniquely susceptible to an argument for jury nullification.
In a less shameless time with a less shameless defendant, a Ron DeSantis or Tim Scott could exchange the promise of a pardon with Trump’s exit from the race and an endorsement, but Democrats have left Trump with nothing to lose and everything to gain. A Trump staring down the dichotomy of either dying in prison or the presidency is more dangerous than Trump with a chance of a dignified retreat to his Mar-a-Lago or Manhattan manors.
