Donald Trump faces four criminal trials amounting to 91 felony counts, and three civil cases. None of this has phased his base as he runs for election. “If he was in jail, I sure would vote for him,” said Ralph Hunter, a South Carolina resident. He told the Big Take DC podcast that while he doesn’t like Trump “as a person,” he was impressed with his presidency.
