I have no horse in this race.
But I will say that if Trump gets indicted on this, you bet your bottom dollar that will rile up the right behind him. Trump has nowhere near the buzz or momentum of 2015 (a year out from the election). This will be a catalyst.
This charge will go nowhere. And even if it did, the optics - in any event - will be a political hit job against a guy who remains untouchable legally.
With all of the things that Trump could be potentially charged with, the characterization of a payment to a porn "star" is irrelevant. Not only that, but the first potential charge out of the gate is this one? Instead of any of the potential others? Just screams "we have nothing so we tried something."
If Trump was looking for something to bolster his run, this is it. Counterintuitive, sure. Welcome to divisive politics 2023.
