I haven't followed the Trump trial at all (apart from couldn't help noticing Guilty! on every front page when I went to the supermarket), I've been watching more closely the eye-watering stupidity of NATO, UK and EU leaders talking about boots on the ground in Ukraine and using long-range missiles to strike Russia as well as the continuing US backed genocide in Gaza.
Western politics has 3 functions. First is entertainment and theatre, especially about sex scandals with titillating details, to sell advertising.
The second is to make us think that we have a choice. Superficially they are between neoliberal and far right though both are controlled by the money who funds them; the forces who are really running our countries (giant group Blackstone funds Trump, who's not anti-establishment at all and of course is himself a billionaire and Blackrock funds Biden.
The third purpose of politics and elections is to distract us from US and its vassal states in the UK and EU's neocolonialism, regime change and the wars that it fights all over the world regardless of who is in 'power'.
The US Empire is in its death throes as the Great Symbiosis of Russia and China decide how best to disarm it. Like Othello, if the US cartels can't have Desdemona, they'd rather destroy the whole world than lose control of it. The military economy of the US is also unsustainable and climate change (exacerbated by war) is now becoming obvious to anyone who actually has eyes.
Trump will probably still be elected, though he won't be able to make America great again.
Quite the opposite.

PS
Trump's conviction over this frivolous felony (they couldn't convict him of being a Russian spy) (and no US presidents are ever tried for felonies such as the WMDs and murder of a million Iraqis) has only improved his image as the anti-establishment hero and back fired on the Democrats who were determined to get him for something. It has enabled the deep state and the Israel lobby, who Trump was previously independent from by virtue of being so rich, to now control him through the funding he needs. It also keeps the massacres in Rafah out of the news.
Yea, I notice the caring on both sides but whatever. I expect it gets thrown out on appeal, quite the show. We know it's all Uniparty. What 'they' really lacked in the covidscam was the federal power over the 50 States, so imagine ways they gain it (like REAL ID) and that's the agenda whether its Trump or anyone.
True to form, as a politician, Trump will say one thing, and then do something completely different.
