Donald Trump will win some and lose some.  He's had some important wins so far, most having do with the Republican presidential primaries, ownership of the Republican Party and affect on Congress.  My speculation of what will happen into the future.  First, I predict that he will become the Republican presidential candidate.  A good win for him.  If, against current odds, he selects Nikki Haley as his vice-presidential running mate, another big win for him. Let me start with the Supreme Court, and all the following are my guesses. They will allow him to run for president, a win for Trump. They will say, by not hearing the appeal court decision, or taking time to make a Supreme Court decision, that Trump is not immune from prosecution.  A huge loss for Trump.

See that photo above?  This could well be the most memorable photo ever taken of a past president of the USA.  Donald Trump's mug shot is the first for someone who held this position, and could well earn him a billion dollars on his way to the Republican nomination for president next July in Milwaukee.  Secretly ecstatic would be Democratic insiders who see a successful Trump opposition to Joe Biden as the key to holding on to the White House and Senate, while flipping the House on November 5, 2024.   Milwaukee, incidentally, was also the site of that  first Republican presidential debate , said to have been "won" by  Vivek Ramaswany , with DeSantis and Pence gaining some, and Joe Biden perhaps being the biggest winner.  As the center of attention, Ramaswany showed huge flaws.  He is a 38-year old high tech almost billionaire who was born in Cincinnati of India Hindu immigrants.  Incidentally, the 2028 convention will occur in Houston.
