The Donald Trump Show's arrest plot twist just isn't convincing | The ... (The Spectator Australia)

When last we checked in on The Donald Trump Show, the absurdist political thriller that's been airing nonstop on CNN for the past seven years…

And after seven seasons of The Donald Trump Show, it feels like we’ve hit that point. Yes, a revival of the Stormy Daniels drama would be an opportunity to bring back some of our favorite characters, including Trump’s jailed lawyer Michael Cohen, played to a T by John Cusack after repeatedly smashing himself in the head with a brick. That all changed in a hurry when a teaser last weekend revealed that Trump might be arrested in the next episode over his supposed hush money payment to Stormy Daniels — and in a devilish twist, it was Trump himself who made the reveal! But then The Donald Trump Show has always fallen somewhere between My Cousin Vinny and the courtroom scenes in The Exorcism of Emily Rose on the legal rigor spectrum. Alas, one of the gripes that critics have most often leveled at the show is that it introduces new plotlines and then doesn’t do anything with them. A new character had been introduced, Cassidy Hutchinson, a Trump aide who told the January 6 committee that the former president had lashed out violently, including allegedly trying to commandeer the presidential SUV.

Weber, the GOP strategist, said Trump’s alleged conduct “has to appall” leading Republicans such as DeSantis and Utah Sen. “But I do know this: The Manhattan district attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor and so he, like other Soros-funded prosecutors, they weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety.” “DeSantis’s statement was pretty creative, it checked both boxes, acknowledging the absurdity of paying off a porn star and all that and highlighting how this is a Soros-backed district attorney. He’s also a frequent target of the GOP and conspiracy theories. You’ll see a lot of back-handed defenses going forward. “You’re seeing that now with Ron DeSantis’s comments, a backhanded defense. We look like those countries where you would use the judicial system to go after your political opponents,” he said. 100% Controlled Opposition,” he tweeted. 6, on Sunday tried to tamp down Trump’s calls for mass protests if he is arrested.

The Secret Service agents assigned to protect Mr Trump are expected to stay with him in the event of an arrest. US intelligence officials have detected an uptick in online threats against legal and government officials since Mr Trump wrote online on Saturday that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday.
