He knows she's not on trial, right?

I have no idea what this achieves. Like I said above, she's not the one on trial.

It's for his disciples. All he needs to do is show them that she's imperfect, that she's "political," or that she's part of the Illuminati and, to them, the whole trial becomes invalid. It was already invalid because the prosecutors are oBviOuSLy political cronies of the Biden crime family, and having it tried before a political crackpot confirms that the whole legal system is just a Kangaroo Court of east coast elites.

It serves a double purpose - neither of which are directly tied to this trial.

The first is to grift. "I'm being treated so horribly by the liberals because they know I'll stop them and make you fine MAGA folks rulers of this country. Now give me money!"

The second is to rile up his base to commit acts of violence. "This liberal prosecutor is unfairly coming after me. It sure would be convenient if someone did something to stop her!"

Of course, he won't care if the people who commit acts of violence for him get arrested. He'll use it to grift and incite more violence, but he wouldn't work to free those suckers.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
