Former President Donald Trump’s rants and whines may play well at a rally, where supporters are primed to cheer any word that journeys out of his mouth, but legal experts say the Republican nominee will only hurt his own case if he brings his petulant routine on the campaign trail to the inside of a Manhattan courtroom.
Trump, facing 34 felony counts related to the cover-up of an election “hush” payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, has repeatedly tried and failed to push back his day in court. Now, though, with jury selection beginning Monday, Trump’s audience will include a judge whose family he has repeatedly attacked on Truth Social.
