Susan Del Percio is a Republican strategist and a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.
A little over two weeks ago, former President Donald Trump flashed his MAGA bat signal. As NBC News’ Katherine Doyle reported, Trump was seemingly frustrated by what he saw as a lack of public support, both inside and outside the courthouse. Since then, 100 Centre St. in lower Manhattan has hosted a veritable parade of sycophants, acolytes and minions eager for their chance to support him silently during the proceedings and stridently on the pavement outside.
Over the years, Trump has been inclined to view his legal problems through a public relations lens. Which is why he is particularly susceptible to the perception of abandonment. His son Eric Trump has been a staple in the courtroom over the past few days, but he didn’t start the trial with his father. Indeed, Trump showed up without any family members for two weeks — an absence that was noted in the media, including by MSNBC court watchers.
