What's it called when a batter strikes out in 3 straight plate appearances? It's only Wed and already, this very evening Trump has struck out in his third attempt to get the Stormy trial sidetracked or delayed.
My guess is the fact that on two seperate occasions Judge Merchan sought advice from the Appeals court over whether or not they felt he should recuse himself and both times they answered NO, is a pretty good indicator that Trump continuing to whine about Merchan not recusing himself is a non-starter with the Appeals Court.
No doubt Trump will continue to attack Merchan, the same Judge who in case of a conviction will hold Trump's fate in his hands. In that context most sensible people would likely not continue to engage in the kind of deterimental behavior Trump exhibits. But that is undoubtedly a contributing factor as to why his cult loves him...
Will Trump succeed in getting the trial delayed? He'll undoubtedly continue to throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks. Maybe something will, he's got 4+ days until jury selection kicks off.
Kind of strange how Trump (who is supposedly an innocent man) seems so invested in avoding the oppty to prove his innocence to a jury of his peers. Guessing Trump never had too many concerns about the rights of accused felons prior to joining their ranks.
In fact I imagine in earlier times Trump would have detested an accused criminal who employed all of the methods Trump has used here to try and escape justice. Hell he continued to berate those kids in the Central Park case and insist that they were guilty, even after they were exonerated by both DNA evidence and someone else confessing to the crime. So I guess this is sort of a reversal of fortune...
