Trump’s endless legal battles are just one element of his new and more extremist nature
Thursday marked the first occasion on which two separate courts were in session, both related to the alleged criminal conduct of Donald Trump. invites the use of the word “unprecedented” with remarkable frequency. The very fact of a presidential candidate for one of the two major parties in the US being under criminal investigation even as the election looms is well beyond the norm, but Thursday showed us how much stranger things can get.
The Supreme Court case centres on a bid by Trump’s legal team to avoid prosecution over his role in instigating the riots of 6 January, 2021 – in which Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building after a rally attended by the president, just as Congress was certifying the results of the election.
Trump’s lawyer was forced to admit that if the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s way, future presidents would be immune to prosecution for actions as drastic as those. The Court is likely to fall short of doing this, even with its dominant Republican majority – but the very fact it is a possibility shows the extreme and dark nature of the Trump campaign and presidency.
