Merely campaigning is not enough to win the unwinnable. Otherwise Biden could win Texas and Ohio simply by campaigning there a lot. Trump could campaign in New York for a 1000 years and not win it.

The bombast and bravado are for making lemonade out of the lemon he got. He’s in NYC out of necessity. Why not do a couple of events, see if he can hook in looky loos and energize tristate GOP voters who don’t normally bother because NY’s a lost cause? The tristate media complex and the circus around the trial means it’s a way to get free media. People want to see if he’s depressed, resigned to his fate, whatever. An obvious persecution like this is a good chance to brandish and shake his shackles, protest the injustice of it all.

Trump understands good PR. It’s just that his spur of the moment brain farts often get in the way. This isn’t one of those moments.
