Surely, even the idiots he has as lawyers didn't advise him to "go after" Bragg.The former president has vowed to people close to him that he wants to go on the offensive and – in a private moment over the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida that demonstrates his gathering resolve – remarked using more colorful language that it was time to politically “rough ’em up”.

UPDATE 04/04/2023: Why Trump doesn't want Judge Merchan presiding. (Aside from the fact of the judge's Latino heritage, which would be enough, of course.)
