Trump fails to delay the civil law suit being in brought against him for damages in connection with his role in the Jan 6 insurrection.

Elsewhere, the Kennedy ensure the next family gathering could be awkward. Although, given RFK Junior's well publicised views, this is probably already a well trodden path.

Trump's obnoxious behaviour outside the courtroom bites back again. Prosecutors are declining to adopt the normal practice of giving defence lawyers notice of calling their intended witnesses.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-t...In the New York case,Trump's lawyers objected.
And it seems, because this is a courtesy and neither in New York statute nor the Constitution, there is no recourse for Trump's lawyers.

Put him in the White House. Although NATO will be very much against that with their plans to build and sell arms.

Would you like to explain NATO's plans and why, with Trump in the White House this would go against its plans? Particularly given that Trump has said the US would stay in NATO, if Europe "pays it's way".

Trump has a point.
It's just about the only point he has, but nevertheless he is right. The US does provide the backbone for NATO. In past eras the quid pro quo was that US got to station it's forces in places that they otherwise would not have been able to. They were also able to invoke Art 5 after 9/11. The only time it has been invoked.
I suppose now that China is now effectively pushing the US out of the Western Pacific the US will look to reduce its forces in Europe.

Because he will stop war and many are against that. War is a racket and shareholders want more profit every year.

Well I agree with the second sentence.
Trump won't "stop war". He just spouts populist nonsense, none of which he ever follows through on because it's either totally impractical or utter madness.
It worked for him first time around, and despite everything it looks like it probably will again.

I’m like 50/50 on the first sentence. He loves Putin.

The draft dodger Trump will not stop war. The only interest he has is self interest. Which is why the wanna be dictator sucks up to the likes of Putin and is prepared to let Ukraine be taken over by Russia.

Love isn't the word I'd use, but I see what you're saying; "envies" is more appropriate.
But Trump is too stupid to realise that blowing smoke up Putin's fundament is not only embarrassing but potentially dangerous.

18 people indicted for 2020 election interference in Arizona. Others are expected to be announced in due course. Among the first tranche are; Rudi Giuliani, Boris Ephstyn and Mark Meadows.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/arizona-criminal-charges-2020-election-subversion/index.html
Giuliani is already deep in the mire in Georgia, for his defamation of two election workers and is thought to be an unindicted coconspirator in other jurisdictions. Meadows has also been indicted in Georgia, but is believed to be cooperating with Special Council In Jack Smith. Ephstyn is also thought to be an indicted coconspirator in other jurisdictions.
