A recent letter writer said that Trump's criminal trial denies him the right to campaign and state his case.
Set aside that Trump has used his time off from the trial to go golfing, that Trump owns his own social media outlet where he spews "his case" repeatedly, that Trump's legal ploys have delayed the trial until now, that Trump is constantly appearing in all media, and that he was president for four years. He's not exactly an "unknown".
The more salient point is this: This trial is not responsible for keeping Trump from campaigning. He is. He chose to commit election fraud in 2016 by colluding with a national publisher to keep his extra-marital affairs out of the public eye. Trump could have easily avoided this criminal trial simply by being honest.
