The senior writer for National Review discusses the ongoing cases, and where it may – or may not – end up going in the long run.
To say that the ongoing criminal trials against former President Donald Trump are “interesting” is an understatement.
Every day there seems to be some sort of development from the trial, from a statement made by his lawyers that backfires to some extent, to Trump lashing out on social media against, well, anyone.
However, this has somehow sent his popularity soaring with his followers, and he firmly believes he can ride that energy back to the White House this fall – especially with current President Joe Biden falling so behind in popularity numbers.
But where will these ongoing cases take Trump in the long run? Could he potentially end up as President again? Or will his legal woes hold him back?
Joining us now to discuss this matter further is Dan Laughlin, a senior writer at National Review. Previously, Dan contributed to other sites such as RedState and the Federalist, and his knowledge of the ever-changing political landscape make him a great guest for this program. Welcome, Dan!
Q&A:
- What do you think about what’s happening with Trump’s criminal cases at this point in time?
- Even if something negative occurs, Trump’s online presence appears to be soaring. Could there be such a time that it drops again, or will it just keep on the rise?
- Could this indeed help secure a re-election as President down the line, even with what’s happening with these trials?
- Could Biden’s sluggish performance in the White House be helping Trump with his popularity? Or is there another factor to his success?
- Where do you see these criminal cases ending up? Will they likely be dismissed?
- Where can we learn more about your work at the National Review?
