Yrue: AFAICT, Trump doesn’t really have much of any real “defense” here, outside of two points:
1. “I’m the famous Donald Trump, premiere Privileged Character in the U.S.A., and trying me for ANYTHING is an outrage, and inherently false.”
2. “See Point no. 1”

I’ve heard that there’s actually a viable defense in this case, mostly revolving around the felony charges stemming from the fact that the fraud was done in furtherance of a crime. Prove that he wasn’t doing it to support a crime, the felonies no longer apply. But of course, he won’t go that route, he has to stick to his preferred defense, which is, “OMG DEEP STATE WITCH HUNT I’M BEING PERSECUTED THIS WHOLE TRIAL IS ILLEGAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG.”
