Donald Trump spent Monday night at his Trump Tower triplex in Manhattan before facing criminal charges the next afternoon in a local courtroom. When his public humiliation was over, he found his way to his private jet and flew to Florida to his other longtime refuge, a villa at his Palm Beach country club, Mar-a-Lago.
A carnival barker first and a public servant never, Trump used Mar-a-Lago as a backdrop for an incendiary call-to-arms on Tuesday evening. It was his most sweeping attempt to control the narrative — and dictate ground rules for Trump cultists — following his legal reckoning. He stayed true to form: The speech was a stew of anger, resentment, emotional flotsam and dangerous psychobabble.
