Already the polity is consolidating behind him, itjust struck me as donald trump was in court twice last week and there was not as much face to face time in the final week of the campaign is you probably expect from a candidate. maybe it s just another example of that, of how the former president defies political gravity. the former president defies political gravity. there is always coin: political gravity. there is always auoin to political gravity. there is always going to be political gravity. there is always going to be examples political gravity. there is always going to be examples of - political gravity. there is always going to be examples of this - political gravity. there is always i going to be examples of this going forward going to be examples of this going forward. the magic of president trump forward. the magic of president trump. but i would say keep in mind this courthouse appearance they are clinical this courthouse appearance they are clinical events. they
