It seems when one lawsuit ends, another one begins, at least for Donald Trump; though it hasn’t been without strategized delays or hopeful exceptions. How can having a presidential candidate with a rolling list of felony charges possibly benefit the country?

Back in February, days before a verdict was reached in the E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit, the former president’s attorney attempted an effort to cite a conflict of interest with the presiding judge on the case before ultimately backing off the claim.

That was followed by a jury issuance of a $83.3 million verdict in favor of Carroll, the majority of which was allocated to punitive damages. Trump made a statement at the time via social media calling the verdict “absolutely ridiculous” and his intent to appeal stating, “They have taken away all First Amendment Rights.”
