Donald refuses to testify just rails at judge.
Which is the ultimate Trump game plan, even to the consternation of his defense lawyers.
Trump trumpets the ultimate unfairness of the trial and is confident that any conviction will be wiped out on appeal.
But the Presidency is a prize he cannot afford to wait on.
Note that his criticisms of Bragg, Biden, and the Judge during the trial have been followed by a steady rise in his poll numbers.
Nope. Trump's overall rate and margin have remained pretty constant for the course of the trial. Looking at all of them as an aggregate, per 538, he was 43.1, + 2.1 on April 1. 41.s and + 1.5 now. But don't let the facts bother you. Just go vote for him.
By the way, since you love polls, 56% of Americans think Trump is guilty of felonies in the NY vase.
Losing at trial will only increase his rants of RAILROADED VICTIM and Biden has vowed to call him CONVICTED FELON any chance he can.
Will it work in the favor of Trump? It has so far.
No it has not. Personally I suspect, and the polling bears me out, that a conviction in this case will have little effect on the race. For the same reason that people as a whole did not hold perjury against Clinton. A lot of people's response is sort of, yeah, I would lie about that too.
