I greatly enjoyed this part:

Trump has been angrily venting about one of his lawyers, Todd Blanche, ever since the trial began.

He has griped that Mr. Blanche, a former federal prosecutor and veteran litigator, has not been following his instructions closely, and has been insufficiently aggressive. Mr. Trump wants him to attack witnesses, attack what the former president sees as a hostile jury pool, and attack the judge, Juan M. Merchan.

Trump support is a spectrum, now an awful chunk will rationalize or dismiss anything. But there are those around the edges of verdant support who can become uneasy as they learn more.

verdant support

Perhaps you meant “ardent support”? “Verdant” means ‘green’, and is a word you would use to describe a lawn or shrubbery. Perhaps a forest.
