Without the 24/7 Trump coverage, I do think he would fade away as a loud sideshow clown nobody cares about anymore. That is too much to hope for. Also, where is that indictment, from the feds, NY, or GA? I hope I do not have to repeat myself too much, but after the breathless promises, someone better be able to successfully prosecute, or Trump will be strengthened.
I don't think Trump would be fading away since the majority of the GOP supports him, both in congress as well as in the republican electorate.
I, too, wonder about the indictments particularity since the Georgia DA had announced indictments would be "imminent" and that was more than a month ago. Moreover, a most outrageous move by the GOP state legislature in GEORGIA, and reportedly to be signed soon by Kemp, is a bill designed to remove any DA they don't like and that is obviously targeting the DA investigating Trump for election fraud. It's an overt move to thwart justice in the state and shield Trump in the process of doing so. The sooner that DA acts on Trump the better or it'll never happen...
