He [Trump] may want the appearance that he welcomes “sunlight,” but it’s doubtful he wants the actual sun shining on this courtroom for all to see. Trump and his lawyers know better than anyone that a televised trial would likely backfire on Trump in the 2024 presidential election by reminding voters that he’s a lying, whining monster who tried to end our democracy as his last act in office.

    Those who know hes a lying scumbag will have their eyes glued to the feed.

    republicans are single minded fools who will wait for fox news snippets to feed their delusions. cult trump will never accept anything from the trial except what trump says. Long ago they stopped believing their own “lying ears and eyes”

      This is exactly why it should be televised. It won’t change either side’s mind, but regardless of the outcome, it will incite Democrats to vote next year.
