I wonder if this sticks. If this does stick, it becomes a huge talking point for him being a weak, ineffectual non-leader. He could actually be throwing himself under the bus, politically speaking.
Honestly MAGA doesn't care about that. Trump is a strongman to them; nothing that says differently will sway their opinion.
Putin playing hockey in his late 60's and "scoring" all those goals against the professional hockey players is such an illusion. And so is the Strongman Trump pretends to be, until he is asked to serve in the military, then he has bone spurs. Ow ow ow.
He is a criminal who worked with Republicans to steal the election from the people.
This is an interesting inversion of the fascist doctrine that the enemy are both really strong and also really weak. Only here Trump and co are applying to themselves -- they're both super powerful and the only hope and also completely weak and ineffectual and always being led astray by the deep state or poor guidance from their own lawyers.
I wonder if this will work as well on their followers.
He might prefer that to being thrown in jail. Either way we win.
Won't hurt with his fans. They don't care that he did it, they don't care that he's lying.
