The federal appeals court decision n forcefully denying Trump’s claims of presidential immunity bode terribly for him and his future. It sets off a cascade of developments which are all negative for his future. The following are some of those likely developments:

1. It will mean hat Trump will waste many more millions of dollars or campaign funds o lawyers in trying to appeal to the Supreme Court, and after their denial of his appeals, in trying to defend himself against charges.
2. The Supreme Court is very unlikely to uphold his claims of immunity. It will deny he appeal. Even if it takes he appeal, it is still most unlikely to uphold his claims of immunity, as such a ruling would destroy the credibility of the Supreme Court as an institution and paint every justice supporting Trump’s claim with an enduring indelible mark of historical shame and disgrace.
3. With one or more criminal trials of Trump likely to begin before the presidential election, it will become more and more apparent that the charges have substance and that there is a likelihood that he will be proven to be a criminal. By then, the New York Civil case will also have been decided with hundreds of millions of dollars in fines or penalties assed, Trump’s claims of such great business acumen and huge wealth will be in great doubt. That will cause many, many political independents and traditional Republicans to pull away from the criminal Trump.
4. That will combine with the current operation fiasco occurring in Congress to bring in\to question the entire Republican Party at the national level. A criminal presidential candidate combined with a party more intent on preserving problems and in increasing governmental dysfunction than anything else is a bit more than any rational, moral, and patriotic American can stomach.
