“How can Donald Trump simultaneously participate in all these criminal trials and run for president?

@paninid Yes, and it's a script that an adroit actor — who is as corrupt as they come — thinks he can ride to victory in the next elections. I don't think he's happy to suffer or even suffering at all, since narcissists don't do suffering. I think he's crafting and playing a malicious script.
