Donald Trump is accused in four criminal courts for a total of 91 offenses. He presents himself as the victim, as the one who is being pursued by an evil conspiracy.

The tactic apparently works to some extent, as surveys show that Trump's supporters are only more resolutely behind him. Some in the Trump camp are already advising the ex-president against continuing to use court as a campaign stage. The thought goes that a little restraint at the next stage of the campaign could be strategically wise.
