Furthermore, we delve into Donald Trump's legal tactics, observing a shift towards appealing more to his vanity than to the judge and jury, a strategy doomed for failure. Additionally, the inevitable return of Ron DeSantis to Trump's favor is scrutinized, emblematic of a trend where former Trump critics scramble to regain his approval, showcasing the enduring power dynamics within the GOP. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
