Oh you can bet anything that any juror(s) leaning not guilty is being ridden, manipulated, and threatened by those on the other side with things like “Do you really want to face the world being known as the one who set Trump free”

 

[carolinakid]

i think he get a conviction in this setting

 

[carolinakid]

just think all the book deals that will come out of this 1 trial

 

[stormtrooper8]

Weirdly enough

I don't think Trump is going to get convicted here

I feel hung jury or Not Guilty

Maybe I should bet on both and hope for a split

 

[flyingillini]

Will there be riots happening after the verdict?

 

[jjgold]

There’s no way everyone’s gonna agree. Plus it’s not even a crime with Trump did

 

[Brock Landers]

Definitely not getting acquitted

Too bad he can't get executed

This m otherfucker

 

[stormtrooper8]

There’s no way everyone’s gonna agree. Plus it’s not even a crime with Trump did

Depends on the extent of it

Could be a misdemeanor or a felony

Based on the charges it does look like a felony

 

[carolinakid]

just a waste of time and giving the lawyers the money and down the road book deals

 

[jjgold]

Experts on both sides think if Trump gets convicted he’s going to win in a landslide
More and more Democrats are seeing it’s fishy

THat is kinda backwards if you think about

But it is kind of true unless the GOP decides to fully turn on him instead of this middle ground they've been in now

 

[carolinakid]

i think now the dems seen where the trial was a big mistake

 

[carolinakid]

they did 4.5 hrs today and will start back at 930 on thur morning

 

[carolinakid]

Is Trump guilty or not? Acquitted or convicted, he wins no matter what.​

Made up of a dash of experience, a dollop of knowledge and a scoop of guesswork, political predictions are for suckers and I am no sucker. So instead, I make guarantees. My latest can’t-possibly-be-wrong, take-it-to-the-bank guarantee? Donald Trump will win in 2024 and there is nothing you can do to stop him. In fact, he will win twice.


Here’s my case: Good news travels fast and bad news travels faster. No one excels at leveraging and manipulating this environment better than Trump. Say it faster than the other side, with more conviction and confidence than Muhammad Ali in his heyday, and half the country will buy what’s being sold.

When good news arrives, Trump rallies the faithful ‘round the flag and equates his victory to a historical figure or event, say, Nelson Mandela or storming the beach at Normandy. When the news is less than rosy, he pounces like a puma and spits in the face of defeat to spin a self-gratifying tale of victory without shame. Unlike the stock market, past performance does in this case predict future results.

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

We will next see this play out in the coming days as Trump, whether acquitted or convicted by a jury of his peers in his New York criminal trial, wins in the courtroom.


Trump's verdict is coming. But judge him on the horrible things he's doing right now.

Trump will win, win or lose​

The best-case scenario – acquittal – would be portrayed by Trump as sweet, sweet vindication against every harsh word that has ever been said about him. Every accusation, every indictment, all the cases yet to be tried, would be washed away. If this one is wrong, they must all be wrong. Right? No? Maybe?

A conviction, on the other hand, rather than serving as vindication of what has been said about and done to him, would be validation of what he’s been saying about others. It would prove, just like he said from behind the court's bike rack twice a day, every day (except Wednesdays) that the judge was conflicted, the jurors tainted by ideology and the outcome preordained by a U.S. Department of Justice weaponizing its prosecutorial authority to damage a political opponent amid a campaign.


Even a jail sentence is a win. What image could better validate Trump’s insistence of this being a sham trial run by a kangaroo court than serving time in jail? A jumpsuit did wonders for Martha Stewart and it would do wonders for Trump, too.

His second guaranteed win will come in November. Do I know that Trump will have the most Electoral College votes when the race is called? Not at all. But I do know he’s going to win so bigly that I can see it from here in May.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump appears for his hush money trial at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 28, 2024 in New York City. Closing arguments are set to begin in former U.S. President Trump's hush money trial. The former president faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first of his criminal cases to go to trial.

Trump's next win will follow the 2024 election​

Like acquittal in court, capturing the Electoral College and re-residing in the White House would be vindication. It would vindicate those who fervently believe Joe Biden is an illegitimate president and Trump has been the rightful president this whole time.

Think that’s far-fetched? Why else has Trump’s campaign referred to him as “the president” and Joe Biden as simply “Joe Biden” in statements and correspondence?

Trump trial evidence: Trump's hush money trial reveals his sordid, cynical manipulations behind the scenes

The inverse outcome, in which Trump’s third Oval Office quest falls short, would to an objective observer be a loss. But not for Trump. This would be a huge win − on par with actually winning − for it brings validation.

Close your eyes and you can hear it now: the process is rigged, our institutions are failing us, the world is out to get Trump and by extension you. Validated. Validated. Validated.

In closing, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, remorse and reflection are the antithesis of the Trump code. He is, after all, a winner and winners never apologize for being winners. They just keep on winning even when they lose.

So when the verdict is read and Trump’s face displays a grimace or a grin, know that behind that grimace is a grin and behind that grin a bigger grin because Trump knows he already won.
