The court’s decision in Colorado to make Donald Trump’s candidacy ineligible during the primary in that state would only be beneficial for the former president, according to political analyst Luc Lavoie.
“Every time they try to stop Trump from moving forward, he rises in the polls,” he says.
The columnist adds that Trump supporters mobilize more and more when politicians and authorities criticize his decisions.
“Really what it does is it reinforces his popularity because everything he says is based on the idea that he’s a martyr because he doesn’t work within the system and the people who line up behind Trump are people who are anti-government,” he said.
Is Trump protected by presidential immunity?
In several of his trials, Donald Trump’s lawyers are beginning to find themselves running out of arguments.
The Trump clan’s only defense is presidential immunity.
“When he (prosecutor Jack Smith) saw that Trump’s defense was based on the concept of presidential immunity, he said to himself that there was no point in fighting the windmills. The Supreme Court must decide whether or not Donald Trump enjoys immunity,” says Mr. Lavoie.
