Michael Goodwin, the finest columnist in America. You can read them every Sunday and every Wednesday in the New York Post. Michael Goodwin. How you doing?

Good morning, Mark. Thank you. Hey, a great column yesterday about Donald Trump. You know, Democrats, when they got this bail reform and no bail, no jail, it was all about reforming the justice system. So it's not used or abused to go after people.

And then look at this.

They abuse it more than anybody to go after Trump.

Well, as I say, Alvin Bragg has finally found somebody he thinks worthy of prosecution.

Murderers, car thieves, robbers, rapists,

ah, you know, they're just misunderstood.

But Donald Trump, there is evil.

Look, I think this is part of the Democratic playbook.

It's part of the overall sort of virtue signaling that if you're for a climate if you believe in climate change and

you have to everything all fossil fuels have to go if you hate Donald Trump if you want to raise taxes

on the rich if you want to welcome the world to come across the border

as long as I live in somebody else's neighborhood,

then you're a Democrat in good standing.

And I think that there's a second element to that, Mark,

which is that nothing unites the Democratic Party like Donald Trump.

And so they have this sort of magnetism

to hating him. And as long as you hate Donald Trump and you blame Donald Trump, as Joe Biden

has done for everything from inflation to Afghanistan, as long as you blame Donald Trump, Democrats will embrace you.

And if you indict him, as Alvin Bragg did, they'll support you,

and they'll say it's a good thing, it's necessary, without even knowing what's in the document,

what the alleged crimes are.
