The vibe at Mar-a-Lago tonight after Trump was arrested and charged with 34 felony counts wasn't sober. It felt, instead, like a MAGA movie set. Our dispatch from Palm Beach, Florida:
His team dutifully prepared for Tuesday, considering the choreography of the arraignment, from the drive from Mar-a-Lago to the airport in Palm Beach, to Trump’s speech. No reporters traveled with the ex-president, but he was joined by a videographer who shot footage of the trip, a sign of how his team planned to capitalize on images from the day.
Before departing for court on Tuesday afternoon, the former president huddled with aides in his suite at Trump Tower. He spent part of the time drafting his evening speech. The former president then spent his plane ride back refining the speech and watching coverage of the indictment on the big-screen TV in the cabin of his plane.
While most Republicans expressed concerns about whether the 2020 election “was on the up and up,” Keller added, there is “near unanimity” among conservatives on believing the prosecution of Trump is politically motivated. What remains to be seen, however, is not the role that electronic voting machines may play but whether Trump can sustain outrage over the indictment for months to come, or how anticipated future indictments in other jurisdictions will play with voters as the facts are revealed.
