No stranger to a courtroom, Donald Trump was reportedly “angry but prepared” for his latest set of criminal indictments. Predictable.

A grand jury in the state of Georgia handed an indictment with 13 counts of racketeering, and accuses him of orchestrating a criminal enterprise. It is the fourth set of criminal charges he is facing and, if his two impeachments and a recent civil lawsuit for sexual abuse are taken into account, he’s had more legal actions to deal with this year than he has children.

Mr Trump, short-sleeved on the golf course, wielding a copy of Playboy and wearing a Maga baseball cap, projected an air of business as usual, but this is going to be far from the case as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
