This excellent SALON.com article is
spot on and it deserves close attention with this their painfully obvious
headline story about him:
“Trump's core strategy is to
spread chaos and confusion — duh! Is it working?”
Yes, his strategy is working and I would add another duh.
It is working on so many fronts that I’ve lost count. Trump’s
staunch, loyal, heavily armed and ready to act or react MAGA base is front and
center waiting for his next command or order like they were before and during
the January 6 Capitol attack.
Apparently now the MAGA maggots (old Marine term is apropos right now) seem to be all geared up for a rerun of that awful January 6
insurrection and coup attempt – at least in my opinion.
Key points from the
SALON article (formatted to fit the blog as usual): It's never easy, or
necessarily possible, to figure out who's winning in Trump's tangles with the
law. That's because the rule of law is based on the principle that everyone
follows the rules — which may be ungainly, flawed, unfairly and unevenly
enforced and all the rest of it, but in theory apply to all parties equally —
and the
rule of Trump is based on the principle that there are no rules, or at least
that he gets to pick and choose which rules to follow, which to ignore and
which to reverse-engineer to suit his own interests.
Consider this week — well, consider any given week of the
last few hundred, honestly. But in this particular week, Trump appeared to
worsen his legal troubles by way of an unasked-for confession in what was
supposed to be a friendly interview with onetime Fox News star Megyn Kelly
(which BTW: Was a great interview on her part).
Trump then launched into a vigorous counterattack against not one but two of the judges slated to preside over his major court cases.
Take Supreme
Court Justice Arthur Engoron, in the NY civil trial that could destroy Trump's
business empire disqualified or ousted or subjected to whatever gothic
punishments the ex-president's mind may devise.
But in both directions Trump is following a strategy —
although that's really not the right word — that has served him well
innumerable times in the past: Divert the media's attention by saying outrageous
things that make him look dangerous or unhinged but are probably un-prosecutable,
while also deploying teams of unlikely-to-be-paid attorneys to sniff out and
exploit every possible legal loophole that can delay the hour of reckoning by
another few days, months, or even years.
According to some legal observers, Trump turned up the heat beneath his own cauldron of hot water in his interview with Kelly repeatedly claiming that he was “allowed to take the classified documents from the White House and that through some mystical process he could declassify them by even touching or beholding them, or even after he stashed them in a decommissioned bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.”
Summary from two legal experts: (1) Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance described the Trump’s remarks as “a good confession,” and (2) National Security lawyer Bradley Moss predicted that Kelly's interview with Trump would be “played at trial by the government.”

My 2 Cents: This article points out the true Trump whose major tactics are well-known in any, if not most of the legal cases he has or will now face. It's like him starring in a “Seven-D Movie: Duck, Dodge, Deny, Deflect, Distract, Delay and Deceive.”
All the while he doubles down by raising doubt
that his MAGA base will lap it up and they do. Yep, that Donald J. Trump – we all know him too well.
But, time is not on his side not with the tremendous evidence against him with over 91 charges for his crimes.
But, also keep in mind that any of the forthcoming trials that it only takes one juror to toss out a guilty verdict. That is a bit scary and one that I hate to ponder.
The evidence
against him is rock solid, but one never knows about one single juror, so hang on
tight.
Thanks for stopping by.
