Whoa, you may need to sit down for this one: A shocking new report in Politico says that in the event former President Trump is convicted by the jury in his New York pornstar hush money case, he and his campaign plan to simply spin it is a “win” for him and boldly deny its legal legitimacy.
That’s fucking crazy, right? It gets better. “Insiders” say the “spin” will entail “leaning in” to an image of Trump as a persecuted victim of an abusive justice system run by Democrats. That’s so mind-blowingly outside the box that political scientists are going to be studying the strategy for years.
But wait! There’s more: Trump may also use an adverse outcome to portray himself as a resilient “fighter” whose sheer force of will transcends the petty machinations of the bookworm Democrats who live in a cloistered world defined by dated rules and nebbishy “norms” of governance.
Watch out media! This Donald Trump guy just might know a thing or two about attracting attention.
