But the fact that he is the overwhelming favorite to run the GOP, it makes this a staggering Monday,” said presidential historian Douglas Brinkley. Trump once took the stand — unexpectedly and briefly — after he was accused of violating a partial gag order. “My intent is to attend Donald’s appearance as he was gracious enough to attend my court appearances,” he said. Eric Trump, the former president's middle son, who testified in the case last week, said his father was eager for his appearance on the stand. The judge eventually ruled in Roosevelt's favor after a five week trial, in which the former president spent eight days on the witness stand.

☆ The only way you'll see Donald Trump's mugshot is if someone leaks it or he shares it himself

Donald Trump will pose for a mugshot ahead of his Tuesday arraignment in New York City. But don't expect his mugshot to be released; under New York law, mugshots are not public record. Trump's mugshot won't be made public unless it is leaked or released by Trump himself. It's possible that Trump's mugshot could be leaked as other prominent figures' booking photos have been in the past. Meanwhile, fake artificial intelligence-generated images of Trump's mugshot and bogus photos of the former president's arrest have already spread like wildfire across social media.

☆ If Trump's mugshot is made public it would cement him as an 'outlaw' and could make him a folk hero like Al Capone, presidential historian says

If Trump's mugshot is made public, it could turn him into a folk hero, historian Douglas Brinkley says. New York law generally bars the release of mugshots but it's possible that Trump's could be leaked. During an episode of his YouTube show "Justice Matters" on Thursday, legal analyst Glenn Kirschner suggested that Trump's mugshot "will become publicly available pretty promptly." If the public does get a chance to see the mugshot, it would cement Trump's status as an "outlaw" among presidents and could make him a folk hero for some Americans, Brinkley said. "But Trump fits very easily into a narrative of folk heroes, like outlaw folk heroes like Al Capone and Dillinger, Billy the Kid."

On other pages, they said he memorialized in writing some of his experiences or thoughts as vice president at the time. The number of notebooks Biden kept is large, according to the person familiar with the investigation, but they did not know the precise number. Trump and Biden’s possession of classified documents is the subject of separate special counsel investigations. Attorney General Merrick Garland has so far not named a special counsel to investigate Pence’s handling of classified documents. On Friday, Pence apologized for having classified documents in his possession and said he takes full responsibility for it.

☆ Gen X is late to the leadership table in US politics, prompting the question: Will it ever produce a president?

By historical standards, Gen X should be in charge of the US by now. Think of them as the godparents of the "Xennials" — those born in the late 1970s or early 1980s who aren't fully Gen X or millennial. No matter whether you deny the 61-year-old Obama is a boomer, Gen X is starting to get up there in age. Michael Ciaglo-Pool/Getty ImagesWhat's the US missing without a Gen X president? "It's like seeing a ghost that doesn't appear," she said of any expectation the presidency would just suddenly open up for Gen X.

☆ Millennials and Gen Z want to stop a climate catastrophe. But first they have to get elected.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, told young climate activists in 2019, "You didn't vote for me." AP Photo/Gemunu AmarasingheBut most policy debates aren't genuinely existential in the way climate change is. "Younger Democrats tend to have a much more friendly relationship and response to the party's activist class than older Democrats do." Fossil-fuel interests have played a central role in stymieing progress on climate change for decades. Nearly a decade later, Trump ran for and won the presidency — with Gingrich's early and staunch support — while calling climate change a "hoax."

☆ A 3-way game of geriatric chicken featuring Trump, Biden, and Bernie has younger Democrats and Republicans itching for change

The 2024 presidential race is already coming into view. These are arguments Biden is readying to run on as Trump — despite his numerous legal troubles — flirts with another White House bid. It's also the case that Sanders' 2024 aspirations remain in their own holding pattern until Biden makes his own formal declaration of his intentions. It's a fact the White House doesn't want to talk about. "The fact they both made it to the White House makes them think they both know how to get to the White House," said Brinkley.

☆ Trump e pe cale să fie declarat inapt pe motive de sănătate psihică.

În timp ce republicanii iau în calcul demiterea lui Trump, pe motiv de sănătate psihică, cei mai apropiați consilieri ai lui Trump încep să îl abandoneze ori să-l evite ca pe un ciumat. Scenele de violență din Congres au provocat reacții ironice și chiar batjocoritoare din partea Rusiei, Chinei, Iranului ori Venezuelei, relatează Moldpres cu referire la Digi24. „Și-a ieșit complet din minți”, a declarat pentru CNN, sub protecția anonimatului, o sursă apropiată lui Donald Trump. Această simplă declarație a fost rezultatul mai multor ore de eforturi ale consilierilor lui Trump, care au încercat să îl facă pe acesta să accepte realitatea. „Oricine se află acum într-un birou federal trebuie să stea cu ochii pe Donald Trump, deoarece gândește și se comportă într-un mod irațional în aceste momente”, a spus pentru CNN Douglas Brinkley, istoric american specializat în mandatele președinților SUA.

„Și-a ieșit complet din minți”, a declarat pentru CNN, sub protecția anonimatului, o sursă apropiată lui Donald Trump. „SUA își gustă propriile medicamente după ce a incitat la haos în întreaga lume sub pretextul libertății și democrației”, a mai scris publicația. Până și Venezuela a condmanat „polarizarea politică a violențelor” și și-a exprimat „îngrijorarea” cu privire la „actele de violenţă care au loc în oraşul Washington, Statele Unite”. Președintele iranian Hasan Rohan a avertizat asupra ascensiunii „populismului”, după tulburările de la Washington și l-a calificat pe Donald Trump drept un „analfabet”, „bolnav” și „populist”, conform Agerpres. Ministrul turc de externe și-a exprimat și el „îngrijorarea” față de violențele din Washington și a făcut un apel „la calm și rațiune” și le-a sugerat cetățenilor turci să „evite mulțimile și zonele unde au loc proteste”.
