Stephen Colbert spoke enthusiastically on behalf of millions of Americans in responding to the news that Trump’s silence trial will move forward by saying, “Let’s go.”
Colbert said:
Okay, despite, so far, despite the 88 criminal charges, Donald Trump has faced no consequences. It was one delay after another. But… Exactly. But it’s about to end. Because right here in New York, in the case of silence, the judge will not delay Trump’s criminal trial while awaiting a ruling on immunity.
Let’s go!

The best part is that it’s a criminal trial, so Trump has to be there every day. Starting April 15, we will see Donald Trump having to watch Stormy Daniels testify about having to see Donald Trump naked. Ugh. Ugh. “Your Honor, for reasons that will soon be all too apparent after your testimony, I would like to present this little Bella mushroom as evidence.” If you know what I’m talking about.

The entire country seems ready for the trial of Donald Trump. The former president attempted postponement after postponement, but the judge ruled that there will be no more delays and the trial will begin on schedule. The trial is expected to last weeks, and a guilty verdict for Trump would likely make it nearly impossible for Trump to return to the White House.
There are ten days until the trial begins, and the case that many legal experts consider the weakest of the four may be the only one that reaches a verdict before the November election.
