This headline is stupid and shows how many on the left still don’t understand Trump or his followers. The article goes further:
Because Donald Trump must always be seen as wielding absolute mastery over his hapless, flailing opponents, he and his propagandists want you to believe his hush-money trial in Manhattan has proven nothing but a smashing political success for him.
Here’s the rub: it doesn’t matter. None of this does. Trumps followers believe this regardless of the reality, and the truth doesn’t matter. It never did. For whatever happens, they’ll believe whatever they want.
