Is he though? Seems like the latest "oh my god he's going down" only for him to be out campaigning like a week later.

There is a disconnect between his legal situation and his behaviour because he's too way stupid to realise he's screwed.

He did a terrible job of hiding the evidence of his crimes in many cases he straight up boasted about them on Twitter. He's misbehaved towards various judges on a number of occasions and threatened the jury. So not only is he absolutely screwed, he's making the situation worse.

The reason he is still campaigning is because he's really really really really thick. As are his supporters who think he has even a snowball's chance in hell of getting away with this.

It's old really because if he believed it's his own rhetoric, then there's some kind of evil vendetta against him bey the evil left, in which case he should know he's not going to get away. Extreme cognitive dissonance.

Or he's banking on getting re-elected before the case can conclude.

He's used to this, first he does something blatantly illegal, then he makes the case take so long and cost so much that it's not worth pursuing anymore.

Actually just wait, it's probably far worse.

I'd bet a paycheck if he gets reelected the first act as president will be to pardon himself. If you don't think he'll do it, you weren't paying attention during his first term.

All the more reason people need to get out and vote for whoever is running against him.

He "joked" about it, and about how he should be allowed to be President for life.

Trump doesn't joke, at least not in the way a normal person does it, but how a fascist does it.

It's a way of testing an idea, "How's about you and me go do a race war? No? I was just kidding! Yes? Okay let's fucking go!"
