Why not just say something along the lines -
Mr Trump, you have been proven a liar in court. A jury of your peers found that you lied about assaulting a lovely lady, that you forced yourself on her and then lied about it. Why can you be trusted to do the right thing by the country when you have been proven a cowardly liar?"
Not only would this hit his weak-spots, it would also invite him to go off on and repeat the claims for which he has already been punished, seeing him back in court double quick.
And those are just the major ones. There are plenty more, like his failure to build more than a few miles of big, beautiful wall, despite having a House & Senate majority for his first two years.
Draw a throughline from all of his many failures as a businessman leading into all those failures in his term as Pres. Keep repeating the “Loser Donald Fail Fail” narrative.
If someone attacked Trump as you suggested, Trump would attack them back. He does not answer questions, and he does not play defense. I doubt that Trump asks any questions in private, either. Trump’s persona is as someone who already knows everything, and tells people what to do. There is no need for subtlety or new information. He controls the narrative of any conversation, and talks about what he wants to talk about. You may think you can box him in by bringing up uncomfortable topics, but no one has done it, yet.
Some of that description is true of all politicians, but particularly Trump.
He also has the persona of someone who gets angry and lashes out in a way that is not controlled or effective, someone who is not in control of himself. Your description is only true part of the time. He can be taken by surprise, and he can and does react in a stupid and self-destructive manner.
Yes, exactly. The purpose is not to get him to admit anything, it’s to make him go off on as unhinged a rant a possible. Think the, “I’m not a puppet, you’re the puppet!” bit from his debate with Clinton, but turned up to 11.
I think Trump is too controlled to really throw a tantrum in public. He’ll interrupt like the “I’m not a puppet” moment. I’d like to see debate director turn his microphone off when it’s not his turn to talk. I think silencing Trump would frustrate him more than anything his debate opponents might say.
This is a 12 minute video but the first two minutes sum it up. “Mark Meadows has agreed to plead guilty to several federal charges as part of a deal he has already received for limited immunity in exchange for his testimony.” MeidasTouch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUEYSdMwK1o
Murray said his client “would rather surrender to pretrial detainment than subject these suretors to what will inevitably come” if their names are publicly released.
I just did a Google search.
