It's been an especially rough week for Donald Trump thanks to a lot of Black women.
Aside from his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, raising a historic amount of money for her campaign in less than two weeks, she's surpassed him in most national polls thanks to his historically unpopular running mate, JD "Couch Consort" Vance.
Then, Trump had a catastrophically terrible interview on Wednesday at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) where he openly disrespected the three Black women who were tasked with interviewing him.
Now, Judge Tanya Chutkan has begun reviewing the criminal case against Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, which the Supreme Court mandated be returned to the DC Circuit.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to four criminal counts accusing him of a multi-part conspiracy to overturn his 2020 election loss. The case had been paused since December while Trump waited for the court to rule on his immunity claim.
This leaves the case's--and therefore, Trump's--fate in Judge Chutkan's hands less than 100 days before the November election. And barely a month after SCOTUS handed Trump immunity on a silver platter.
Judge Chutkan had wanted the case to go to trial before voters go to the polls in November, initially pushing for a March trial date. But that pesky ruling from Trump's SCOTUS pals put that on pause.
And that pause ended Friday, at the end of a week when the Trump campaign had taken plenty of L's already. If she gets her way, the Judge could begin hearing testimony in mid-September, around the same time Trump is set to be sentenced in New York on 34 felony counts.
You love to see it.
It's no easy task, considering the immunity ruling's language. Judge Chutkan will have to decide whether Trump’s efforts to undo the 2020 election results--including that pesky little insurrection on January 6th--count as "official acts" that would now retroactively be protected.
And the timing is even better thanks to Trump telling ABC's Rachel Scott that he would pardon all of the January 6th prisoners who have been convicted so far.
Notably, this case landed on Judge Chutkan's docket thanks to her history. She's presided over dozens of January 6th criminal prosecutions and is known for delivering tough sentences for those convicted of charges related to the Capitol riot.
