Former President Donald Trump is already preparing for a "spectacle" should he be indicted by a Manhattan grand jury looking at a hush money payment his lawyer, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels in 2016, ignoring advice to make it a quiet affair.
Trump has reportedly rejected the approach proposed by the Secret Service to appear before the court in a remote location and turn himself in under the radar. Instead, he said he didn't care if someone shot at him because, then, he would become "a martyr" and would probably win the presidency in 2024, per the Guardian.
TRUMP MISLED HIS ATTORNEYS ON CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS: REPORT
Sources close to the former president said Trump told his advisers that he also wants to be handcuffed while making an in-person appearance in court, reasoning that if he is going to be fingerprinted and sitting for a mug shot, he might as well turn the event into a show to gain support and notoriety among his supporters ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Amid the threat of an indictment, support for Trump to take back the White House in 2024 has grown. A Morning Consult poll shows Trump leading Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) 54% to 26%, a 28 percentage point advantage. Polls have gone back and forth, showing DeSantis leading over Trump or vice versa, but the news of an indictment of the former president boosted support for Trump.
