As Donald Trump bathes in a parallel reality, when the impact of justice hits him, there is a slim chance that the first criminal indictment of a US president will be pronounced.

AT According to Donald Trump, his early arrest would be a blessing in disguise. The former Republican president is not concerned about a Manhattan lawyer accusing him of buying a call girl’s silence days before he was elected to the White House in 2016. It took $130,000 from his campaign fund. But when it comes to political miracles, he exudes confidence in the body. So he jumped at the chance to call on his followers to demonstrate and defend democracy—just ask his little guy—threatened by the “deep state.” Did the feds show up at the base of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue on Tuesday and handcuff him? All in good time! His candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, as yet unvarnished, is uniquely encouraging.
