‘Guilty!’ And Trump’s re-election prospects get a boost

‘Guilty!’ And Trump’s re-election prospects get a boost: To paraphrase the great showman P.T. Barnum, after a jury in New York declared former President Donald J. Trump (R) guilty, guilty, and guilty again and again and again, etc., Trump might have thought, “I don’t care what the biased jury says about me as long as they spell my name right.”  And the jury and the hordes of media, which ghoulishly shrieked the verdict, spelled his name so accurately that, proving Barnum was once again correct when he observed, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity,” campaign contributions for a Trump presidency poured in so heavily, to the tune of $34.8 million in just a few hours after the verdict that his campaign website crashed.  As of this moment, it is up and accepting contributions.
