I haven’t heard of many other Americans facing court cases as huge as the ones around Trump, with numbers like $500 million being talked about. It makes me imagine how heavy it would feel for an ordinary person to be told they suddenly owe $100 million because of things that happened many years ago.

A lot of the stories involve very serious personal accusations and old memories, and to me it can be hard to understand why they took so long to come out or why they are all landing now, right when he wants to be president again. It leaves me wondering how people are supposed to show clear consent and fairness in relationships, and why some agreements seem to be questioned only later, when the moment has long passed.

The property case also feels confusing to me. In real life, prices are often just what a buyer and seller agree on, and homes have emotional value as well as business value. A family might feel their house is worth twice what the market says, while a buyer might say half, and both are “right” in their own way. So it’s strange to me to see someone punished so hard over what something is “really” worth when that can be so subjective.

From my point of view, if no other candidates are being hit with this level of lawsuits, time pressure and giant fines while running for office, it’s easy to see why some people call them “witch trials” or “Biden trials.” In my head, it’s like a story where if Trump sinks under all that weight, his supporters see it as proof he was treated unfairly, and if he somehow keeps going, they see it as proof he was strong and innocent all along.
