Donald Trump's trial in New York revealed some elements which will be decisive for the future. Judge Juan Merchan seems not to want the trial to drag on, and has thus opposed the Trump team, which is playing show.
A majority of the first group of 96 potential jurors in Donald Trump’s trial declared themselves incapable of judging him fairly. The judge highlighted the defense's delay after a brief recess Monday afternoon. “We are not going to have the right to a fair trial, it’t very, very sad,” Donald Trump reacted to the press late Monday. Meanwhile in Washington, the White House is walking on eggshells. ‘I am sure that (the president) will be kept informed at some point during the day, but for the moment he is focusing on the meetings on his schedule,’ said spokesperson for American executive Karine Jean -Rock. The prosecution's strategy: portray Donald Trump as a sexist man, aggressive towards women. Prosecutors requested that a now famous video, where he was heard boasting of “grabbing” women “by the pussy”, be broadcast during the hearing.
