In scorching 110-degree Fahrenheit temperatures, former President Donald Trump gave a fiery speech at a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday. This event took place just a day before a virtual interview with probation officers, as part of his defense team's preparations for the upcoming sentencing recommendation in his hush money trial.

While Trump addressed enthusiastic supporters, a surprising development unfolded in his trial. The judge overseeing the case alerted prosecutors and defense counsel about a Facebook comment made by an apparent social media troll. The comment proclaimed a conviction, one day before the jury officially handed down a guilty verdict. Fortunately, the comment was swiftly deleted, but its implications remain under scrutiny.

In addition to these legal proceedings, Trump made headlines this week for his interview with TV psychologist Dr Phil. During the interview, the former president expressed his belief that "sometimes revenge can be justified," as he contemplated a hypothetical second term in the White House. Dr Phil largely echoed Trump's perspectives during the conversation, allowing false claims to go unchecked, particularly in relation to his recent conviction.

As Trump navigates these legal challenges and continues to shape his political narrative, the upcoming virtual interview with probation officers marks a critical moment in his hush money trial. The sentencing recommendation will play a significant role in determining the consequences he may face.

Only time will tell how these legal battles and controversial interviews will impact the former president's future political ambitions and the public's perception of his actions.
