Trump’s TV comeback?

Apparently there’s moves afoot to have Dampnut’s trial televised. Which is something his own lawyer has actually argued for, interestingly enough:

Even before Trump’s third indictment dropped, his own lawyer, John Lauro, was calling for cameras in the courtroom. “I would hope that the Department of Justice would join in that effort so that we can take the curtain away and all Americans can see what’s happening,” Lauro said during an appearance on Fox News, days before the DOJ handed down federal charges in the elections case.

Now, televising trials is against US law, which says you can’t take photos in a courtroom or broadcast from one. The person who I spotted commenting about this on Mastodon today was implying that was why Lauro suggested televising the trial knowing that it couldn’t be, so that it could then be spun by the Republicans as a sham that the Democrats were trying to cover up. However, the latter have evidently decided to call that bluff, cos there are a couple of ways the law could potentially be overruled and a number of Democrat representatives are trying one, i.e. something called the Judicial Conference, to get his lordship back on TV:

Problem is, the cult won’t accept it; I foresee now that they’ll spin it all as some sort of deepfake or AI thing and they won’t believe for a second any of the evidence that the Democrats will put forth because THEY ALREADY DON’T. And if Trump loses — which is how I expect the whole thing will end — then they’re going to accept it even less…

I have kind of mixed feelings, part of which is the media overkill I’ve no doubt will result from it… there’ll already be an absurd amount of commentary on the trial anyway and there’s going to be a long time when every fucking day no one talks about anything else, but actual courtroom footage could make the whole affair truly insufferable. Cos Orange Cunt will play up to the cameras, he will make a performance out of it. It will be a put-on-a-show trial, if you’ll forgive the expression. And he’s unbearable enough as it is, how awful will he be then…

But, as someone says in the NPR article I linked above, that may actually be what the Democrats want, maybe they’re hoping Trump will make such a cunt of himself on TV that his presidential aspirations will be wiped out as a result… not 100% convinced by this cos the cultists will vote for him anyway if he’s still able to run, and if he’s not that kind of leaves… DeSantis? I don’t know if they want that or not… Otherwise, maybe it wouldn’t be a bad thing? I don’t know.
