The Georgia trial of Donald Trump on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election will be televised and streamed live, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee.
McAfee issued an order Thursday stating that all court proceedings involving Trump and his 18 co-conspirators will be broadcast via a television pool. The Fulton Co. Courts’ YouTube channel will stream the trials live.
In addition, the judge ruled that reporters will be allowed to have computers and cell phones inside the courtroom, as long as they don’t record the proceedings.
I mean, I suppose that’s good, but it feels like his ego doesn’t need the attention. He’s going to try to find a way to make it part of his campaign, and his supporters are going to eat it up.
This is his worst nightmare, he can’t control the narrative
He’s going to have to sit still for hours, and if he starts acting up the judge will tell him to shut up or throw him in contempt.
Dude can’t handle debates because a moderator might tell him what to do. He won’t be able to handle court that’s livestreamed with a judge.
Yea, it’ll be like with Alex Jones. Even if he has the ability to not act out or lie in court he still would in hopes of playing to his base and will hurt his case.
What, you think his base is going to believe “The Media”? This is fantastic for him. It gives him the same kind of attention he got in the lead up to the 2016 election, and won him the election.
This will only be a dumpster fire where people who hate him will get to lounge in their schadenfreude, and the people who love him will get to martyr him with all the conspiracy theories they’ll come up with to explain away his guilt. The only people who will suffer will be the people who want this clownshow to end for good.
His base will never change, they are a cult and believe what they want to believe. This will just further bury Trump in the eyes of the moderate R’s, the ones who held their nose and voted for Biden, or just abstained from voting last time. It will pull the big donors away from Trump. And it will burn his legacy, which is the worst thing you can do to him.
Oh i hope he tries. The only way that works is with lies and that ain’t gonna fly in court.
Not really.
He can get external commentators to do the lying.
Calling it now. This is going to be too juicy to avoid airing live on every major news network, but Fox is going to mute most of the audio and have their commentators talk over it. That way their viewers can feel informed and say they watched the trial, all while safely continuing to live in a misinformation bubble.
That might be good too though. Like if a bunch of unreconstructed Trumpers vote Trump in the next election, and he’s either jailed or not the candidate… that paves the way for a pretty easy Democrat victory.
