Former President Donald Trump’s defense team asked the judge overseeing the classified documents case in Florida to postpone the trial, according to a filing late Monday night, saying there is “no reason for any expedited trial.”
I know you’re right. It just feels bad taking the high road when the accused has demonstrated he is manifestly unfit for office while also caught dead to rights under a mountain of publicly known evidence which includes his own admission of guilt.
Yes, in this specific instance, especially with this specific crime and these specific bits of evidence, it should be a slam dunk for anyone with any sense to refuse to support Trump.
But, that could have been said in 2016, too. Trump didn’t just show up in 2015 when he started running for President, or even when he lead that super racist “birther” movement prior to that; he’s been a terrible person his entire life, and no one gets a full pass on voting for him, no matter which time they did it, as far as I’m concerned. People that support Trump, especially in 2023, don’t give two shits about whether he’s qualified for the job. It’s a cult of personality; nothing more. I’m only half joking when I suggest that if Trump died of natural causes in a month, he’d still have a good chance of winning the GOP nomination. His supporters just don’t care about consequences or reality. Whatever triggers the lizard-part of their brain is what they do.

Sorry for the rant. haha
In his case, he’s been a turd in society’s punchbowl for 50 years.
There’s mountains of court records, poor business decisions, and proven malfeasance… and that’s not counting two impeachments.
No accounting for taste, I suppose.
