It's difficult to argue convincingly whether Trump is winning or losing his plethora of legal battles, as the former president continues to undermine the very essence of any legal process: following the rules. While it is unlikely that Chutkan will be removed, Trump has shown himself willing to go down any viable avenue – regardless of its merit – in order to delay these proceedings.
