Part 7/12:
Meanwhile, cases like the Manhattan hush money prosecution have descended into chaos. Judge Juan Merchan, a Democrat donor, publicly castigated Trump for "disrespecting the court," only to permit salacious testimony involving a porn star—an absurd spectacle many see as an erosion of judicial integrity.
This spectacle is viewed by critics as a "theater of the absurd," undermining public confidence in the judicial process. The case's credibility has eroded, painting the entire legal effort against Trump as politically motivated spectacle rather than legitimate prosecution.
