PETER ROFF: Will Trump Take The High Road?

A sealed indictment of former President Donald Trump was issued late Thursday by a Manhattan Grand Jury. How he responds will determine whether he has a future in American politics.

Nonetheless, all eyes are again on Trump — which is how he likes it. A statement issued in his name after news of the indictment broke, while excited and hyperbolic, stopped short of calling for protests as he did earlier in March when he said an indictment was forthcoming.

What he cannot do, and what should immediately quash any attempt by him to return to office in 2024 is if he does anything that leads to the kind of uncivil disobedience that was on display on Jan. 6, 2020.

Trump’s response to the indictment is a test. It’s an opportunity to see what he’s learned in his time out of office and if his respect for the constitutional processes that made this nation great has grown.
