With the momentum shifting in Donald Trump’s favor over the past several weeks, the panic is setting in. Democrats and the corporate media had a foolproof plan to vanquish Trump once and for all — but it’s only making him stronger.

Buckle up! Trump’s trial schedule is set to be a rollercoaster ride from hell. The powers-that-be have undoubtedly arranged the schedule to sow maximum damage during the heart of the campaign season.

The Iowa caucus kicks off the nominating process on Jan. 15 and the following day Trump is due in federal civil court in Manhattan, where an anonymous jury will award damages in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carrol.

On Mar. 4, his federal criminal trial begins in D.C. on charges of alleged election interference and incitement of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Super Tuesday falls on the following day, when 15 states will decide on their nominee.

His criminal trial in New York over the alleged Stormy Daniels hush money will begin by the end of that month.

The classified documents case will begin in Miami on May 20, just two weeks before the last five Republican primaries take place on June 4.

The Republican National Convention will bring an official end to the primary season in mid-July.

In all likelihood, Trump will head into his Georgia racketeering trial on Aug 4. as the Republican Party’s nominee for president.

If this all seems like a lot to take in, that’s the point. The biggest show trials in American history are about to unfold, and they are meant to make you exasperated. Yet no one is talking about the most likely outcome: instead of taking Trump down, they are much more likely to make him seem invincible.

While the corporate media breathlessly covered the indictments as they came out over the spring and summer,  relatively little attention has been paid to the impending trials. Democratic strategists seemingly planned to use the indictments sought to elevate Trump in the primaries and then destroy him in the general election, in which moderates and independents would supposedly find his legal baggage irredeemably off-putting.

With the trials, the left hoped to finally bring its “walls are closing in on Trump” fantasy to life.

But the past several weeks of polling seem to suggest the opposite. The president’s support has remained steady in head-to-head match-ups with his predecessor, while Trump has surged, winning a majority of support in multiple polls. This suggests that Trump is winning over the swing voters who were meant to be “exhausted” by the trials. In early November, Trump led Biden in five out of six key swing states. As of the first week in December, he enjoys a 2.1 percent lead over Biden in the national Real Clear Politics polling average. Even the betting odds have swung toward Trump. Momentum is on his side.

Democrats and the media will soon be forced to reckon with the fallout of the trials as they seem to do nothing but increase this momentum. Trump will likely spend more time in the courtroom than on the campaign trail, but the focus on quantity over quality in the prosecutions could spell Democrats’ downfall. The majority of the charges are very, very weak – as even the New York Times tacitly admits.

The Stormy Daniels case hinges on proving that paying off a porn star is campaign expense rather than a personal one, and raises state jurisdictional issues under federal election law. In D.C., Trump will go up against left-wing Judge Tanya Chutkin and face a partisan jury pool. But this election interference case requires ascertaining Trump’s state of mind around Jan. 6, and/or nailing him with vague civil rights violations that have “never been applied to this situation.” Even if he’s convicted, there’s always the appeals process.

The classified documents case in Miami is more straightforward, given the audio recording of Trump implicating himself, but amounts to effectively the same charges federal prosecutors declined to pursue against Hillary Clinton. Trump will also face a much friendlier jury pool in Florida, and there only needs to be one holdout for a mistrial. The Georgia trial has many of the weaknesses as the D.C. interference charges.

Democrats will beclown themselves by charging more than they could ever prove. They’ll soon have to live with the consequences.

Far from sabotaging Trump’s campaign, the trial schedule is set turn into six months of free advertising that does nothing but elevate Trump. He will use the opportunity to bash his opponents’ “witch trials,” and if he prevails, it will solidify his preferred narrative for posterity. After vanquishing his opponents, he will enter debate season riding a tidal wave of momentum against an incumbent who inspires no enthusiasm.

The media, a weaponized Justice Department, and rogue judges and prosecutors – all aligned to throw everything they had at Trump. Yet he is likely to survive it all, revealing their impotence and corruption along the way. There’s nothing Americans love more than a victorious underdog, and after staging the greatest comeback in American history, Trump will be winning like never before.
