To Trump, that's a long-running soap box. An opportunity to present himself as the victim of political persecution.
He will portray himself as the champion of free speech.
For the next 18 months or more, attention will focus on Trump. He will command the stage.
The Democrats think this is to their advantage.

Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., discusses the timing of Trumps indictment news amid the ongoing fallout from the Biden family's business dealings probe, and a potential impeachment inquiry against the president.
That Trump's behavior will be spilled out in court and make Biden look good. I think they're wrong.
For a start, Biden has challenges of his own. Like his son, Hunter.

He's not heading to court, but he may be heading toward an impeachment inquiry, and who knows what more comes out.

Just look at how it's shaping up today.
Trump appears in court, surrounded by a media circus and loudly proclaiming free speech. He is a robust former president.

And Biden? He's on the beach saying nothing about the downgrade or Hunter or anything else.
He's frail. Seems out of touch. Not a robust current president. What a contrast.
