This Will Be Tough for Trump to Spin

New York Times: “One thing important to keep in mind: the Trump team often has a playbook for spinning news and what will happen, an approach that starts with the candidate himself. They’d predicted a hung jury as a strong possibility, their allies put out word that one juror was making affirming eye contact with a Trump supporter who attended the trial, and so forth.”

“In the end, it took this jury less than two full days to convict on all counts. By following this playbook, Trump’s team can usually create enough confusion to leave people questioning outcomes. Not so with a jury verdict.”
