I have been preoccupied with Trump for some 5 years. Have authored Criminology on Trump, May 17, 2022, and I have continued writing viewpoints and op eds. Here is my piece from The Crime Report posted on Tuesday of this week and embedded within is my Salon piece from a week ago today.

You might see these positions as contradictory. They are and they aren’t and my positions are fluid.
So that is how I have been thinking about this politically and legally. I do think that justice will prevail. I also think that Trump is losing power and won’t run in 2024 despite a lot of noise to the contrary.
Here is a question to Abdul (who endorsed my first Trump book in the front matter of the book) and to others reading this: Do you think I should go ahead and write the sequel? Criminalizing Trump: After the Failed Coup and the Struggle to Save American Democracy. After all there are already more than 7000 Trump books and 10 new ones every month.
Quite candidly as an emeritus professor who retired two years ago, I want to kick back and enjoy the grandchildren. I was also hoping that the sequel proposal would be rejected because I am so tired of having to deal with Trump, his lawlessness, etc. and yet I can’t seem to resist chiming in with my two cents.
If you've got more to share, you should. History MUST document the man's flagrant disregard for the law, propriety, or truth. So please, I hope you will!!
And congrats on a great series of articles, and an important book.
If you believe that you have some different insights to add, go ahead and write it. When you do, please include some thoughts on how to open the minds of those people whose brains seem to be tied in a Gordian Knot.
Candidly, I believe the first book shed light on Trump from a criminological and historical perspective that was unique. The sequel would be more similar with rather than different from others writing serious as opposed to PR statements.
As for how to open the minds of the Trumpists other than Trump being criminally convicted and doing time or exiled from political society, I don’t know how to fix what ails those folks.

Thanks for your support. It means a lot to me. I am just feeling a bit depressed about the whole thing.
