The atmospherics are distractingFormer President Donald Trump’s stone-faced mug shot and the televised motorcade of his trip to court painted his arrest Thursday at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta with a reality TV theatricality.
Trump’s control of the party he remade around himself continues to hold.
But ultimately, just as he was forced to submit to a mug shot, Trump will have to submit to the fact that juries of his peers, American citizens, will decide these trials of the century.
It’s far from a mainstream view, and Trump’s multiple arrests have so far yielded little in the way of mass protest.
He could win acquittal in any or all four of the trials in which he’s a defendant.
