The former president suggested sending the NYPD officers running security around his trial to be deployed to quell protests at Columbia University
Donald Trump would really like his fans to protest outside of his criminal hush money trial in Manhattan.

Smells like fear to me. If it was ratings throwing him in jail would send them through the roof.
Throwing him in jail would be a story for a week. Definitely not enough to keep the gravy train rolling
