Let's not be too triumphalist here. At the moment, it looks like the arrest is actually benefiting his electoral campaign. If he doesn't go to prison, he might win in 2024.

I wouldn't be so sure. Initially, yes, it might benefit his poll ratings but one of Trumps things, and which his supporters also seem to thrive on, is that he thinks we can do things with impunity. Once they see this isn't true there's a good chance his support will fade.

I don't think Jerrmy is sounding certain, and he's caveating that with Trump getting off which would effectively be 'with impunity'.

I want to say I'm shocked, but I'm not, the discourse in the USA has a certain numbing affect on me now. But I am dismayed at this latest clear attempt at intimidation:

And John Bolton has said his former boss "looks like a thug", and that the expression is clearly an attempt to intimidate the opposition.

"Someone tell the story,
Someone sing the song.

Every now and then
The country
Goes a little wrong.

Every now and then
A madman's
Bound to come along.
Doesn't stop the story-
Story's pretty strong.
Doesn't change the song...'

So apparently there was a 3 way with Trump, Zelensky and Musk. I worry about Trump's foreign policy but then more of the same, given where we are, was not an easy sell.

There is a small part of me that is looking forward to the chaos.
