    Presence is possible just like campaigning is and hanging out at races. Which one should go first when one is facing multiple trials?

      Campaigning and hanging out at races is being done when court is not in session.

      If the Florida court demanded he be present at 8 AM on 5/20, and the NY court was in session that day which would ALSO demand his presence, there’s literally no way to do that.

      He, and his lawyers, can’t be running one case in person and running another remotely. That’s not going to work.
