Deceptions
70%
Examples:
- It's a step that many Republican officials are wary of taking.
- The historic nature of Trump's criminal conviction is being leveraged by his campaign as a sort of roll-call vote to see which politicians will defend the former president and which of them will defend America's legal system. It appears you can’t do both.
- These types of defences align with Trump’s larger belief that many of his issues are not with individuals - whether they be voters or jurors. Instead, he feels that many of the bedrock structures of American government, like its electoral process and its judicial system, its media, its intelligence agencies, are fundamentally and unfairly rigged against him.
