During CNN’s coverage of former President Donald Trump’s trial in New York, Attorney George Conway expressed his opinion that cable news channels airing the trial details were actually helping Trump politically. Conway noted that the news outlets seemed to be repeating the same talking points, which he believed were ultimately benefiting Trump.
Conway pointed out that by keeping Trump away from making public appearances where he tends to say controversial things, the trial was actually preventing him from damaging his own image further. Conway suggested that if Trump were to be convicted by a jury, the situation may change, but for now, the trial was not necessarily hurting Trump’s political standing.
In conclusion, Conway argued that the trial was serving to divert attention away from Trump’s erratic behavior, which he believed was ultimately beneficial for Trump’s political prospects.
