Staff Reports
Former President Donald Trump faces a real possibility of being convicted later this spring for his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and his supposed efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The ex-President, never one to shy away from a fight, is gearing up for battle should the case go to trial before the upcoming election. He’s not down for the count just yet!
The trial was set for March 4, just before the Super Tuesday showdown, but lo and behold, it mysteriously vanished from the U.S. District Court’s public calendar. What’s the deal with that? U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is overseeing the trial, and word on the street is she’s not exactly known for slapping rioters on the wrist with a feather. She’s tough as nails, and the former President’s team is sweating bullets.
Well, he's half right. https://t.co/yFKoo8gyxB

Even if the trial gets delayed, Trump’s legal headaches don’t end there. His crew is losing sleep over the possibility of him getting into hot water for those alleged hush money payouts to the adult film star Stormy Daniels. A trial for that case is scheduled for March 25, just a stone’s throw away from Super Tuesday and still before the Republican National Committee convention. It’s like a never-ending legal soap opera!
The cherry on top of this legal sundae is that Trump’s not exactly counting on a warm reception from the juries in Washington, D.C., or New York City, where he’s about as popular as a skunk at a garden party. Liberal strongholds like those aren’t exactly prime real estate for Trump’s fan club. But does Trump back down? Never!
Trump’s not just sitting around twiddling his thumbs, waiting for the legal storm to pass. He’s actually plotting to turn this courtroom drama into a performance of a lifetime! His peeps believe that every time he makes an appearance in court, his support shoots through the roof. Plus, those Republicans think the whole legal shebang is just a big ol’ witch hunt. Trump’s strategizing like a grandmaster in a game of chess!
And get this — he’s not planning to miss a single court date, even when he doesn’t have to show up. Talk about dedication! His buddies are all in on the act, too, saying, “You can’t just sit there and play defense. You’ve got to own it, baby! Own it!” They’re turning this into the greatest show on earth!
