The first criminal trial of Donald Trump has begun, and while there is no way to know what the outcome will be in the next couple of months, one thing stands out!
Donald Trump is being held accountable under the Constitution and the rule of law, despite his wealth and his stature as a former President of the United States!
For the first time in his life, he is under restrictions, including being in the courtroom daily whether he wishes to or not!
It seems clear that his public opinion ratings are not going to rise, as a result of his being held accountable in a court of law!
Trump needs to be locked up contempt for continuously violating the gag order.

That should be:
locked up in contempt
We’re back down to 5 jurors seated.
The first juror to go expressed concerns about her identity being shared publicly, saying friends and family had already reached out to her asking about the trial after her description was published in news reports.
Now, a second juror has been excused, this time after prosecutors said they found information that called into question the truthfulness of their answers during voir dire, the period where lawyers from both sides question potential jurors.
Since lunchtime, 12 jurors have finally been chosen. Jury selection for alternates will continue tomorrow
Right-wing media is attacking the jury.
I hear that Trump appeared to doze off in court this week.
A man set himself on fire outside the courthouse today. He’s in critical condition.
It sounds like the guy was a conspiracy theory nut.
Opening statements begin Monday.
That man that set himself on fire yesterday has died.
Huffington Post’s headlines perfectly sum up today’s (Tuesday, April 23) trial coverage:
