Alina Habba's legal career has certainly taken an interesting turn, as she has now been reduced to spending her days acting as a babysitter for Donald Trump in the courtroom. Habba has been showing up at Trump's criminal trial, in spite of the fact that she's not representing him in this case. Trump's people are worried that he's going to blow up in court, so he's now constantly accompanied by people who may prevent that from happening.
Also, following a threat of jail time from Judge Juan Merchan on Monday, podcast host Steve Bannon went absolutely ballistic and said that it is time for Trump's supporters to go on "offense" to protect him. It isn't exactly clear what that means, but it definitely could be seen as a call to action for his base. But Bannon may want to let Trump ride out his legal problems on his own since Bannon himself is about to be in a world of legal pain as his own trial begins shortly.
And Donald Trump is still attacking the voting mechanisms in the United States, with particular disdain for voting by mail. This is a continuation of "the big lie" that the 2020 election was stolen from him, but he refuses to back down. And his lie is now hurting the Republican Party and driving its leaders insane as they scramble to undo his damage with their "get out the vote" efforts. But his lies have already turned off so many Republicans that there could be a huge turnout disadvantage for Republicans in November.
Finally, at a campaign fundraiser this past weekend, Donald Trump was reportedly irate over the fact that so many people paid to get their picture taken with him. It wasn't just that he had to spend so much time taking photos - he was mad that they didn't pay ENOUGH to get their pictures taken with him. He believes that he deserves a premium price for an awkward photo of him smiling like the Joker while giving a thumbs up, but people just aren't willing to pay it.
