The legal witch hunt against him has backfired spectacularly.
Whisper it: but Donald Trump could be the next US president. The attempt to bring Trump down via a slew of often-questionable indictments – the latest one for ‘conspiracy to defraud’ the US, over Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election – has not only dragged America closer to banana-republic territory, normalising the pursuit of political candidates through often-stunning feats of legal acrobatics, performed by an increasingly politicised justice system. It has also failed spectacularly. So far, at least.
