My guess is that this trial is going to steamroll him. He will begin to look old and withered fast. Think about Harvey Weinstein and how quickly he started to degrade once his ruse was exposed and he was put on trial. This will not be kind to him and he is going to completely buckle. That’s my conjecture.
Harvey faked his frailty for sympathy. Trump will continue to skate. I'm not happy about it.
The best way to get rid of him would honestly be to make him look pathetic and weak. Let him stand in the election and then have him lose simply because of how ridiculous he now looks and let his supporters just fade away from him.
The trouble is I think most Trump supporters would vote for him even if he was a corpse.
The diehards will vote for him no matter what and those people are basically lost. Everybody else will witness a very significant degradation of Trump. When he is finally convicted I think the whole thing will unravel. I realize this is optimistic in some eyes, but this is my current feeling.
Don't give me hope
