What does Trump hope to gain-

@AverageJoe1
Moonbus....tell us that none of those guys, even the meek Carter, wanted to draw attention when entering a room. So, are you gauging too MUCH attention....
Whew. Why don't you and Suzie and the bunch rule (dictate) what 'just enough attention, but no more.' is!

You are the last person who could grasp the gambits of Trump. Note that he goes UP in popularity every time he is in the news for these travesties…., then note that he just miiiiiiiiiigghht have reasons for what he does.

then note that he just miiiiiiiiiigghht have reasons for what he does.

OK, please enlighten me (since you clearly know more than the rest of the people here) what are the reasons Trump might have to want to attack a judge who is presiding over this NY trial?

This is the kicker. This is proof positive of Trump's narcicism. Read Shav's post if you can't connect the dots Whatever Trump understands or truly believes, he has totally miscalculated the behavior required to be a President or ex. And him dragging the Presidency through a torrid version of a WWF challenge is something a majority of Americans will never validate. Trump has yet to realize that he is not bigger than the Presidency and that his behavior as a candidate provokes a deep cognitive dissonance even among his ardent supporters.

And obviously this is not a critique of you mchill but rather a riff on your view to school the maganuts among us who steadfastly cling to their fantasies.

The reason is simple, but also terrifying.

Imagine all the titles, relationships, role, job descriptions, backgrounds, affiliations etc. of EVERY PERSON in the world slowly fading into the background.

Now, impose a new layer onto the world, a kind of filter with two colors - Red "Loves Trump" and Blue "Hates Trump" and submerge all other layers so that when someone comes up to him and says, "Hi Mr Trump I'm Blah-de-Blah from Blah" all he sees is their aura. All he sees is red or blue. They could be a Supreme Court justice or a judge or a news anchor or a lawyer or the head of the FBI or a janitor. None of that matters. ALL HE SEES is the aura.

If the aura is vague, and he needs to interact with them, he tests them. Because before he can have a meaningful conversation, he needs to know what the aura is. If they refuse to talk about Trump but instead talk about facts - worthless. Probably blue. As a precaution, think of them as blue.

That's how Trump proceeds. That's his 'reasoning' such as it is. That is true MALIGNANT narcissism which is what he has.

All you fellers want us repubs to tell you his plans, and/or the reasons he does things? Am I getting that right?
Would I tell you what Marjori Taylor Greene’s fight plan would be if she had to into the ring with AOC?.? No, because no one knows. And the mind of Trump is known by 8no one, which is why Putin, Kim and Xi fear him.

Do they fear him because he is a principled man of substance or because he is a capricious loose cannon?

Could be the latter, now that you mention it. Are you, too, trying to bait me to compare the dictatorship of Biden to that of Trump???? I will not fall for it.
Although, I will be happy to compare their records. Do you relalize how often y'all say the border was a mess under Trump? Uhoh, I have already started.......

- by attacking a judge?

Does he not realize judges have at least some judicial discretion when presiding over these trials that can have an impact on the verdict? Does he not realize judges decide prison sentences for those found guilty?

We need look no further than Aileen Cannon to see what a friendly judge can do for you, but Trump is turning this NY judge against hi ...[text shortened]... om/en-us/news/politics/trump-in-pennsylvania-attacks-judge-as-first-criminal-trial-looms/ar-BB1lE2TU

Newsflash: They don't give a crap. They're not afraid of him. How laughable. They rightfully see him as weak because he is always obsequious to them. He wishes he were any of them.

Moonbus wants Trump to be like everyone else, toe the line. This comes from his socialistic tutelage, we are all the same, we will end up the same at the end of the day. No one should be different or try to be better than the other guy.
I try to be better than the other guy, every day. Ohhhh, mooonbus, they will slaaaaap you........

I don't care how weird he is personally. I just want him to obey the law and accept the consequences when he doesn't.

The 2024 election cycle is shaping up to be a choice between a blank cheque and a blank mind. Pretty dire options, I have to say.

You are right about Biden with his blank check. How much money are we up to now? Would you look that up for us. Have you heard he wants to pay off student loans? Do you think that will be it, because I think there will be something else, to pay off credit card debt, for example. Then he would control interest rates, restricting the interest a bank can charge on a mortgage. Do you fellas not realize that he is in fact, a dictator?
Trumphoise, who never did define what democracy is, would be a good person to ask about Biden‘s transformation into being a dictator.

The essential thing about dictators is that they never leave office peacefully and on schedule. Now look at how Trump left office, and the legacy of January 6th.
