When the sun rose Thursday morning, Donald Trump was still a former president facing beaucoup counts in his New York criminal trial. Come dinner time, for many across the United States, he's cemented in history, and in memory, as America's first felon president. But whether that "president" title is a future and/or past thing, remains to be seen.
After hearing the jury tick off a verdict of guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the trial overseen by Judge Juan Merchan, Trump spoke to reporters outside the courtroom, bashing the "conflicted judge" that led to his Wikipedia page being updated to reflect the latest ding to his reputation, with lightning speed. And then he made a bee-line for his motorcade to ensconce himself in Trump Tower, a location that once held much different meaning in the middle of a city that Trump once thought held him in convenient favor. But as Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs sings in "Maps," "Wait, they don't love you . . ."
