Donald Trump said on Monday he would appeal the scheduling of a March 2024 trial over his alleged efforts to subvert his 2020 election defeat, though legal experts said such a move was not possible before a verdict is reached in the case.
"I will APPEAL," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. He did not say how or when the appeal would be made.
Why would someone so innocent of 91 crimes want to drag this out instead of quickly clearing his name with the evidence he claims to have?
Because he’s not innocent.
Bruh, spoilers.
Because his only plan, and the only plan that has even the slightest chance of working, is to delay.
Delay and bank on winning the election. Then have his new AG drop the charges and pardon himself.
Look at the 3 big cases. Respond on the last possible day. Challenge everything even if there is no reason to and they know it won’t go anywhere. Just the challenge slows things down because it has to get litigated.
Trump has used this tactic for decades with his casinos and other properties. Something in your way? Tie it up in litigation until it no longer matters and then drop the suit. But now it’s in overdrive and much much worse.
Exactly. Anyone truly innocent would be rushing to go in court with the cameras and shoot holes in the case and humiliate the prosecutor for the shoddy accusation.
It seems suspicious! :)
I want to see him in trial as much as anyone, but no one is rushing into anything when the literal mountain of evidence against you is 12.8 million pages. Even the judge said the prosecutions date of January 2024 was too early.
That said, I’m very much looking forward to March 2024 😀

Donald Trump did not get to where he is today by listening to experts....
Oh, sure he did. Hand picked experts like John Eastman and Rudy Guiliani who tell him what he wants to hear. They are also known as "co-conspirators".
Imo they picked him. He's like every mafia / kkk / nazi and etc ideal PR person. Just wrap it up in nationalism.
💀
I'm taking notes, in case I'm ever arrested for something.
Delay, delay, delay. Court date set? Just Appeal. Sentenced to prison? Nope, I'm just gonna delay and appeal and delay some more. An unlimited freedom trick.
Can't lock me up if I simply keep telling the courts no.
Appealing the trial date is laughable
For those who still don't know how Trump operates.....
This is not some kind of grand master plan. Trump doesn't have the mental capacity to formulate a plan for anything. Trump just says or does whatever sounds good right fucking now, and deals with the fallout later. Mostly with more of the same tactics.
Trump is going to appeal anything. If Chutkan signs something with a blue pen, he's going to appeal saying that using blue ink shows she's a secret part of the Democrat Deep State who has been a part of the Never Trump movement since 1972. He'll file the appeal in Bumfuck, Idaho despite that court having no jurisdiction. And when that gets thrown out, he'll appeal that. It's just the way he works.
And the thing is, it's effective. He knows that 99% of his appeals are frivolous nonsense. He knows that 99% of them are never going to work. But it still takes time. It's common for a case to be held up because of motions filed that haven't been resolved yet, even if they're frivilous. Some of these motions are also going to require hearings of their own. Will they be successful? 99% of the time, no. But each motion has the potential to cause delays. Could be days. Could be weeks. But delays nonetheless, and that's all Trump cares about.
Trump is trying to push this until either after the election or until after he's dead. And given the timeframe we're talking about, one key delay may be all he needs to never actually see the inside of a courtroom. His entire "plan" is akin to a toddler throwing his toys around just to annoy mommy for trying to put him in a time-out.
