Two accused teenagers to remain in custody for at least two more weeks | SaltWire #newsupdate #newsNEW YORK - Meetings with foreign dignitaries at Trump Tower. A staged visit to a convenience store in the New York City Democratic stronghold of Harlem. Daily remarks broadcast on national cable television from outside the courtroom, and a blizzard of angry posts on his Truth Social platform.
His movements curtailed, Trump and his campaign have capitalized on the"audience of millions" afforded by cameras that follow his every move, said Republican consultant Jeanette Hoffman, including his staged visits to the convenience store, or bodega, in Harlem and with union workers at a construction site in Midtown Manhattan.
Opinion polls suggest that however Trump tries to make the best of a bad situation, the trial carries political risks. They show some Republican voters could turn against him if he becomes a convicted felon, costing him crucial support in a close Nov. 5 election rematch with Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.
He unleashed a barrage of 74 posts on April 15, when the trial kicked off with jury selection, more than double his daily average this year, according to an analysis by Josephine Lukito, an assistant professor at University of Texas at Austin. Nevertheless,"the idea that he is silenced is a joke," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a professor of communication at the University of Pennsylvania."What the trial is giving him is the opportunity to bookmark his appearances with on-camera access, underscored by Truth Social."
Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt predicted the case would backfire."As this witch-hunt continues, President Trump's support from Americans of all backgrounds will continue to grow as they watch Joe Biden and the Democrats put on this bogus show trial six months before the election," she said.
