Trump made the bizarre claim that Democrats will manipulate his jury in the Manhattan criminal trial.

It appears that Donald Trump knows he will be convicted criminally in Manhattan, which is why he is already floating crazy conspiracy theories about the jury being rigged against him. We’ve all seen this dance before. If something is good for Trump, it’s the fairest and best thing ever. When something goes bad for Trump, it’s because things are rigged against him.

As Sarah Jones described, potential jurors undergo an extensive vetting and background process. If Trump had been awake during his criminal trial, he might already know this.

Trump knows he will most likely be convicted in Manhattan, so he is laying the groundwork to argue throughout the election campaign that his conviction is the byproduct of a rigged jury.

The trial has not yet started, but Donald Trump is making excuses for his possible conviction.
