Delays are saving the day for Trump

Donald Trump looks weary and angry and furious in the court in Manhattan but actually he has had a pretty good week with the news that the three other much more significant trials he is facing on multiple federal charges have all been postponed with no future date fixed. The likelihood is that none of these trials will begin before the election in November and that has to be good news for Trump. If he were to win the election he could instruct the Justice Department to scrap the trials and that will be it. What a result for him and exactly what his lawyers have been pushing for since this drama started. So, everything will now depend on the conclusion of the trial he is currently enduring. I don't think it's a done deal. Stormy Daniels held up pretty well after ferocious questioning by Trump's lawyers but all the sex tittle tattle didn't really help the prosecution case. It made the jury cringe and they might have got confused about what the trial is actually supposed to be about, business fraud. Whatever happens, if Trump is convicted he is more likely to face a fine or probation and will survive for the November election. So, all in all, Trump's prospects are improving.
