Donald Trump

Respectfully disagree. He'll pay out to avoid inconvenience; but his psychological makeup is to never, ever lose.

There's a 2-hour or so documentary (or actually two such) by Frontline exploring Trump's life and that of his political opponent for President in minute detail. Frontline airs these shortly before each US Presidential election. The latest one, about the 2020 election:

It's 2 hours and is likely far too long for most people - but it's compelling viewing and well worth your time. The previous Frontline about Hillary and Trump was equally fascinating.

Anyhow - Trump is quintessentially, existentially unable to admit defeat. And this makes him a fighter.
Watched this yesterday with a lovely bottle of red. Superb viewing although it doesn’t tell us anything particularly new (except the inspirational figure that is Neil Kinnock!). The longer the documentary went on, the more I found myself feeling a sense of utter disbelief- how did this fucker ever become POTUS?

Friday 1st March there was a hearing before Judge Cannon to fix the date of the documents trial. Predictably, she messed about, nothing was decided and several issues were not even discussed. Trumps position changed from offering an August date for the trial to:
— We should wait until Scotus decides the immunity question
— Several other issues need to be sorted first and any trial would be election interference.
— A trial before the election would be unjust, but if the court rules it can go ahead, we prefer August.
Cannon ruled that she will consider the matter and rule later!!!
The evidence against Trump is overwhelming and his only defence is the Presidential Records Act which is no help at all.
How lucky to have a Judge in your pocket, as well as SCOTUS. Just appoint the judges you need to get off anything. Learnt that trick from City at CAS.

It’s banana republic stuff.

I suspect that if she rules on a big delay then Jack Smith will appeal and ask for her to be removed. He might as well take that shot.

If she goes with an August or September trial that Trump's team asked for then that might be a play to use this trial to block the jan 6th trials. That's a risky plan as although Cannon can control the sentence, she can't stop the blatant evidence of Trump's deliberate BS plan to steal and hide the documents. Its not great having that all come out just ahead of the election. And a sentence of no jail time would go straight to appeal.
