Orange Defendant’s trial to be a major time suck on campaign

A Thursday piece by the Daily Beast doesn’t add much to what’s already known about the schedule for disgraced former President Trump’s upcoming trial over the last-minute interference in the 2016 election by paying Stormy Daniels to stay quiet over their 45-second sexual encounter from 2006: Trump will have to be in court four days a week, 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM with Wednesdays off so Judge Juan Merchan can handle other cases, prosecutors say they the’ll need 15 to 17 days for testimony and presentation – which isn’t accounting for cross-examinations, and that it’s expected to last until mid-to-late May – or longer if Trump’s team can score a week off for Passover but that’s TBD.

It’s just that it’s kind of hard to appreciate before seeing it all laid out the way the Beast did, estimating the impact on his campaign during a crucial stretch when money’s supposed to be pouring in – and they didn’t even get too deep into what it would mean for the fat fuck himself. The time, energy, and focus required to sit there quietly while Joe Biden is less tethered is probably beyond Trump’s capacities, especially the way he’s been lately. To show up on time on a Monday after hitting the swing states both weekend days and trying to squeeze in another on Wednesday for nine or 10 weeks straight is going to be an immense strain on him physically and mentally.

The Beast writes that the irony is that it might incentivize Trump to act out during the trial and prompt Merchan to order him removed from the courtroom. Except if he pushes the judge’s buttons too hard it could end up with Donald getting tossed in a jail cell for a few days which, all bullshit about how much “sympathy” that would stir up aside, would on balance not be a good look and further the Orange God Emperor’s spiral into utter madness while he’s running for his life.
