The Georgia trial of Donald Trump on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election will be televised and streamed live, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee.

McAfee issued an order Thursday stating that all court proceedings involving Trump and his 18 co-conspirators will be broadcast via a television pool. The Fulton Co. Courts’ YouTube channel will stream the trials live.

In addition, the judge ruled that reporters will be allowed to have computers and cell phones inside the courtroom, as long as they don’t record the proceedings.

What, you think his base is going to believe "The Media"? This is fantastic for him. It gives him the same kind of attention he got in the lead up to the 2016 election, and won him the election.

This will only be a dumpster fire where people who hate him will get to lounge in their schadenfreude, and the people who love him will get to martyr him with all the conspiracy theories they'll come up with to explain away his guilt. The only people who will suffer will be the people who want this clownshow to end for good.

His base will never change, they are a cult and believe what they want to believe. This will just further bury Trump in the eyes of the moderate R's, the ones who held their nose and voted for Biden, or just abstained from voting last time. It will pull the big donors away from Trump. And it will burn his legacy, which is the worst thing you can do to him.
