Column: The hush money trial has only just begun, but it’s not a good look for Candidate Trump

LA Times  

Former President Trump addressed the media as he arrived for the second day of jury selection in his criminal trial in Manhattan. The first criminal trial of a former U.S. president hadn’t started this week, and already Donald Trump found himself behind bars. Opinion Calmes: Donald Trump inspires yet another profile in cowardice One after another, American institutions have spinelessly bowed to Trump’s power. Though Merchan barred prosecutors from eliciting testimony that Melania Trump was pregnant when Trump allegedly had an affair with McDougal — too prejudicial to Trump, he said — nothing prevents journalists from noting that louche timing, along with the fact that Trump’s alleged tryst with Daniels occurred soon after son Barron’s birth. Indeed, the reports about Trump’s repeated dozing, from journalists inside the courtroom, were perhaps the biggest takeaway of the trial’s opening days and a politically fraught meme for the 77-year-old Trump, who incessantly ridicules the 81-year-old Biden as addled “Sleepy Joe.” Late-night comics had a field day, er, night; political cartoonists were ruthless, and of course the Biden campaign was quick to post mockery of “Sleepy Don,” complete with a lullaby.
