Donald Trump Convicted On 34 Felonies (5-30-24)

The reason the prosecutorial apparatus isn’t overtly weaponized more often is that leaders in both parties have a common interest in keeping such prosecutions to a minimum. Donald Trump, however, is a common foe: Establishment Republicans are not about to prosecute a Biden or a Clinton to the fullest extent of the law simply because a Democrat goes after Trump. In the ways that count, Donald Trump is still an outsider, and the insiders are all eager to see him punished. His convictions are a satisfying revenge not only for Democrats but for the many old-line Republicans he has humiliated, too.

Trump is no revolutionary, however—he’s simply a defiant individual, who can’t be assimilated into the leadership class because he’s just too self-oriented and self-directed. He’s a class traitor, or rather a scoffer. But he’s also the tribune of Americans who do reject the nation’s bipartisan leadership class for deeper political reasons. Humiliating Trump, perhaps hobbling his campaign or even condemning him to die in prison, doesn’t solve the problem that his powerful enemies face. In fact, successful lawfare only makes their problem worse, because their problem is that much of the American public no longer views the leadership class and the institutions it controls with respect and deference. Seeing the law used to strike down Trump only confirms the impression of his supporters that the whole system is rotten. And if it can be used against Trump in this way, it can surely be used against any of them—any businessman, any Christian, any critic of power.
