'Needy, rattled' and 'smaller' by the day: Columnist sees trial taking toll on Trump

Donald Trump boasted that he would use his criminal and civil trials to campaign for president, but he already looks "needy and rattled" after just a week in court, argued one columnist.

The former president – amplified by numerous media outlets – claimed he would bask in the wall-to-wall coverage to manipulate the courts and boost his campaign profile, but that's not what has happened since he lost defamation and fraud judgments for more than a half-billion dollars, wrote Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin.
