Closing take
On June 29, the real Trump-world story was not a single blowup so much as the steady accumulation of them. The campaign kept trying to talk like the prosecutions were just another act of partisan theater, but the calendar kept insisting otherwise. Every new motion, statement, and court date was another reminder that the comeback bid was being built on a legal sinkhole. That is not a strong way to run a presidential campaign, unless the campaign’s core message is that gravity is a hoax.
