Donald Trump is making history this week — but (as you'd expect) not in a good way. The first criminal trial for a current or former president starts in New York, and Trump has to be front and center throughout.
It couldn’t come soon enough. Trump has been gaming the legal system for years, working overtime to keep him far away from an actual criminal trial with real felony consequences.
As Trump’s shady past finally catches up with him, team, it’s a reminder that no one — not even a former president — is above the law, no matter what well-paid lawyers may try and argue.
Here's what we also know: Trump and his MAGA cronies will play this criminal trial for all its worth. They will use it as an excuse to raise millions of dollars to help pay his legal fees while claiming this is an attempt by Democrats to stop Trump’s latest presidential bid.
