The prosecution's efforts to characterize Trump's actions as a criminal conspiracy are more effective than viewing them as mere paperwork errors.

“this was a presidential campaign that was working and directing a major Media company to just be its propaganda arm for an entire campaign and then hiding it from people I mean that that does seem like more of a more of a conspiracy than just like a hush money payment and business records”

Democrats should actively discuss the trial in the context of how Donald Trump's legal chaos demonstrates that he prioritizes himself over the interests of the public.

“we have to take a step back and talk about all of these trials as a way as an example of the chaos that Donald Trump brings to the White House, and that it will be distracting from him.”

Trump is likely just irritating the judge and risking contempt charges that could escalate to jail time.

“I think legally it seems like he's probably just mostly pissing off the judge and potentially putting himself a Jeopardy of getting for contempt and then the punishment for contempt could get escalated to potentially jail time”
