Michael Goodwin: The world has now seen the 'Trump Effect' on...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : And while no doubt many of the visitors aim to curry favor, the larger truth is that they know what Trump wants, and by giving it to him, are doing right for America and freedom everywhere.
55% : In the early days after his election, Trump said he got more than 200 congratulatory phone calls from business leaders and politicians from around the world.
49% : Trump could have skipped the theater, but chose to appear by video.
45% : It's in that spirit that even the leaders of Greenland now say they want to talk to Trump about his effort to make it part of America!
40% : "Of course it's rare, but there's never been someone like Trump or a moment like this.
40% : And so it was with the case at hand, the work of Democratic operatives in the White House and the Manhattan District Attorney's office who concocted a witches' brew to charge Trump with 34 felonies.
29% : That's absurd because had the defendant's name not been Trump, no charges would have been filed and there would have been no trial.
27% : It's hard to remember now, but the case represented the vanguard of Dems' demonic plan to protect a decrepit Biden by persecuting Trump.
25% : Chief among these is the pledge from Mark Zuckerberg to Trump that Meta would immediately end its censorship of speech on all its platforms.
24% : Either way, Trump is, with apologies to Reggie Jackson, the straw that stirs the drink.
24% : "This defendant has caused enduring damage to public perception of the criminal justice system," Steinglass moaned, as if the miscarriage of justice he helped create was not responsible for destroying public confidence.
21% : But even that has backfired, with many voters supporting Trump precisely because they agreed he was being treated as a political enemy of the state.
