Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Just don't point the camera at the jury?

That would probably be best once Trump realises he can sabotage the whole trial with the use of his camera phone.

Honestly, no. I don't think he can use one other than for tweeting nonsense. And the bird icon is gone now, so he can't even do that.

Couldn't members of the public do the same?

If they're allowed in, then I assume so.

But they might actually face repercussions for doing so, while Trump feels little people laws are beneath him, and in fairness here, I've not seen a lot in the last 6 years or so that might prove him wrong on that.

Rich people rarely face consequences. Epstein ran a literal paedo island for 20 years, and it was (probably) only the blackmailing of even richer people that landed him in prison and "suicided".

Even with all these charges, I reckon the best we can hope for is Trump not being allowed to run the country again, and even then I suspect time and poor shape may take care of that so a judge doesn't have to.

Yes, but most of them don't have "rich and powerful white guy" near-total immunity from the "justice" system, so they wouldn't get away with jury tampering like their Mango Messiah has so far.
