As Trump is finally facing accountability under Jack Smith, we will want to project Trump’s “coverage” in our nation’s history textbooks. He will be reviled and cursed by a majority of Americans and revered for being the last best hope of American essentialism and White supremacy by a hard core. Nothing new here; the South shall rise again!
Media coverage of Trump’s indictments/trials is just free publicity for him. Should he go to jail, he might not be the first jailbird on the ballot. But he would be the first one with a chance of winning. And then expect even more media coverage on him pardoning himself.
