He [Trump] may want the appearance that he welcomes “sunlight,” but it’s doubtful he wants the actual sun shining on this courtroom for all to see. Trump and his lawyers know better than anyone that a televised trial would likely backfire on Trump in the 2024 presidential election by reminding voters that he’s a lying, whining monster who tried to end our democracy as his last act in office.
Trump was on TV saying something insane every single fucking day from well before his election in 2016 until the blessed day in 2021 when he was forced out of office and kicked off most social media. And I’m going to say that none of that hurt him or his future chances of being America’s first dictator.
So no, I think it’s a really bad idea to give him more platforms to speak from.
Also, anyone that want to act like him being in court right now indicates some “hurt” arising from his past words or actions is, to me, a complete fool. Being in court isn’t punishment, it’s an opportunity that let’s him be on TV more and whine about how “oppressed by the state” he is. It’s a long prelude to justice that I don’t belive Trump will ever face. He’s never been really punished for any of the terrible crimes he’s done, why would they start now? I’ll belive Trump is capable of receiving consequences when I see it actually happen. Or he’ll be running the country in a few months, but i sure hope not.
