What do you think it'll be like though?
I mean do you think it's set in for him
that the trials actually starting in three weeks?
Absolutely not. Now I I'm told that he does understand
that this is not likely that he's going to win
on appeal.
It's as slim to none chance and trying to delay
this further and that the trial will start in 21
days,
but I don't think this is going to become real
for him until we get much closer to it.
And Caitlin, I have to say that sitting in that
courtroom for him four days a week,
there's going to be a pause on Wednesdays,
but four days a week in,
in this very dingy sort of bonfire of the vanities
type courtroom.
Is going to be pretty interesting to watch.
I mean for someone though who kind of is described
as stuck in the 1980s.
Correct. Preserved in amber. Yeah.
I don't, I don't know that being stuck in the
Manhattan Criminal Court is exactly how how he had in
mind being that way.
I mean. And it's not just physically being in court.
It's also being there while Michael Cohen could be testifying.
Stormy Daniels. Correct. All of these moments that did not
go well for Trump into the first year of his
time in the White House.
Certainly not with his relationship with Melania Trump.
You're getting to the point that a lot of his
aides will talk about privately,
which is that they they believe there is a chance
of a hung jury in this case.
There's always a chance of a hung jury.
And this, you know, that's it just takes one.
They know and they believe that even if he's convicted
that it's not the worst fact set for him and
legally.
Now maybe that's true when you compare it to you
know,
conspiracy to defraud the the United States in terms of
the J6 trial or the documents case in Florida.
But it is a set of personal details that really
get under his skin,
as you noted. Remember he would in White House meetings
just start talking about how you know he he didn't
actually have an affair with Stormy Daniels and he would
ask people what they thought of calling her horse face
and on and on and on and so.
This is going to get under his skin what that
means in terms of how he acts outside.
The courtroom, how he acts on the campaign trail,
I think remains to be seen.
But we have seen his ire with these cases bleed
into his rallies,
and I anticipate that will be the same because he's
likely going to be doing events on weekends.
Well, I mean, he couldn't.
