Friends, Trump's lock on the Republican base has been slipping lately, but few things are more certain to restore the conservative rank-and-file's enthusiasm for "the Donald" than a questionable indictment from a George Soros-approved left-wing district attorney. In other words, Trump's legal troubles may be just beginning, but there's a distinct, and entirely predictable, upside if he is indicted: almost every conservative, and almost every Republican, in the country will assume he's being railroaded because of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Lefties will naturally be overjoyed at any prosecution, but they might want to stop and take a deep breath. The quality of any prosecution of DJT surely matters, because if the case falls apart, or ends in a hung jury or an acquittal, Trump will emerge stronger than ever. Long story short: the various legal assaults on Trump will be fascinating to watch unfold, because they might or might not deflect in him in his path to the presidency. As a matter of fact, putting wind in Trump's sails might be exactly what the truly canny leftist wants right now, on the theory that Trump will be easier to defeat in '24 than someone like DeSantis. Politics is a very complicated business, my friends!
In any case, I'm pretty sure Elon Musk is wrong in predicting that Trump, in the wake of his prosecutorial martyrdom, will win in a "landslide" in 2024. Trump may win, but no one should kid themselves about the fact that the next presidential election is bound to be agonizingly close.

Lastly, in a bizarre twist of fate, as the leftist legal sharks are just beginning to sense blood in the water and to target Trump for destruction, Facebook and YouTube are once again allowing the man, and the movement, to utilize social media. Imagine that! Trump is allowed to speak! This is, believe it or not, a big concession for organizations that loathe Trump and everything he stands for. It's especially interesting that YouTube, which is a Google property, is taking this step, because Google has never expressed the slightest regret for its endorsement and practice of rampant censorship during the 2020 presidential campaign and throughout the COVID pandemic, as far as I know. Is this, then, a sign that these platforms feel they need to give Trump a voice, to avoid the wrath of conservatives -- or is it perhaps instead a sign that they feel they may as well give Trump a little more rope, so he can hang himself? Your guess is as good as mine.
