This is great. But I afraid his voters love watching him in court because he like a political prisoner who is being unfairly judged. They love him more.

MAGA voters are with him no matter what. It is the swing voters, some Haley voters, and the "double haters" that are ripe for the picking.

Generally the true believers show up for the primary election. These are dedicated party members and in the current situation the former president's most ardent followers. The general election attracts a larger group of people. Even people who don't vote often will show up for a presidential election. Those are the ones who might think about the former president being on trial and being connected with the National Enquirer as being something unfavorable in a candidate.

How do you know being on trial helps him with voters? Do you have data to back that up or you just spitballin'? For I don't think this is true.

I think his supporters think he is being unfairly tried. I've heard some say that since paying hush money is not a crime, charging him falsifying business records is just harassing him for being popular. I don't agree. I wish the SC says that President's are immune and Biden throws Trump in Gitmo for ordering Johnson to not put the Bipartisan border bill, giving the Republicans what they wanted, to a vote in order to make Biden look bad. He clearly interfered with Biden's ability to govern.

It is not true. It might have helped him in the primary but did not, because of Nikki.

Getting indicted is never going to be a positive in a campaign.
