Jack Smith, the tough-as-nails former Chief Prosecutor at The Hague, seems to have encountered unprecedented challenges in the Trump case. After completing his investigation reports, he chose to leave quietly, leaving behind that highly anticipated two-volume report. And Trump, the former president, seems to have maintained the same attitude towards Smith – both angry and disdainful. In the shadow of Smith’s resignation, Trump’s 2024 campaign seems to have intensified even more, his slogan simple yet powerful: ‘Smith, get out of our country!’ This play, one can’t help but think of an old joke: A policeman chases a thief, and the thief shouts, ‘Stop, you can’t catch me!’ And the policeman just smiles and replies, ‘It’s okay, we’re just here to chat.’ It seems that this ‘chat’ has not yet ended.
