For #Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward Moment of #Judgment

When the history of the 2024 #election is written, 1 of the iconic images illustrating it will surely be the mug shot taken of Trump after 1/4 indictments, staring into the camera w/his signature glare. It is an image not of shame but of defiance, the image of a man who would be a #convicted #felon before Election Day & yet possibly #POTUS again afterward.

Sometimes lost amid all the shouting of a high-octane campaign heading into its final couple of weeks is that simple if mind-bending fact. #America for the first time in its history may send a #criminal to the Oval Office & entrust him w/the #nuclear codes. What would once have been automatically #disqualifying barely seems to slow #Trump down in his comeback march for a 2nd term that he says will be devoted to “#retribution.”

@Nonilex A small slice of America is sending him there. He will easily be the most unpopular president ever.
