Since Donald Trump asked Judge Merchan to dismiss the criminal case, he should think that being the Republican candidate would give him immunity from prosecution.

“The judge should dismiss this case,” President Trump said. I think the judge would have regained his respect if he had done that. We have to take the appellate court step and something has to happen. Think about it. “One of the two major political parties, the Republican Party, nominated someone as their candidate, and that candidate has been sitting here in a frozen cooler listening to this for almost five weeks now.”

It's fun to think that Trump will campaign. That's because he hasn't held a campaign event more than once a week since last year. Donald Trump can campaign every day after court ends. He has a plane. Trump decided not to campaign because he doesn't want to campaign. Trump has shown no energy in his campaign since taking office in 2017.
The criminal trial appears to last until at least next week, and could take longer depending on when the jury gets its case, so someone will have to bring Trump blankets, mittens and pillows. Taking a nap in the courtroom. This is because the criminal, the old man, was complaining that he had a cold again.
