That’s far from the fearsome, dominant figure depicted in MAGA propaganda about the trial.

Note that both Watters and Pirro insist Trump is shining in the role of defendant.

They are trying to depict Trump as simultaneously a victim and a formidable warrior, one who is fighting back against corrupt, powerful forces that are persecuting him. »
