Donald Trump continuously keeps the country in a state of suspense — navigating the current situation while waiting for the next one, with no clear end in sight.
People are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the Republican primaries and another election. Additionally, there have been moments throughout the spring and summer when people have anxiously awaited indictments, bookings, the reactions to those indictments and bookings, and even the bizarre sight of Mr. Trump’s mug shot alongside his co-defendants’, displayed on iMessage or Instagram.
The recent indictment by District Attorney Fani T. Willis in Fulton County, Ga., is the most significant thus far. The document charges 19 individuals and serves as a culmination of months of indictments, ultimately bringing them to Atlanta.
The scenes outside courthouses and jails during Trump’s bookings this summer reflect the internal struggle for people’s attention: whether to be present, to eagerly await news, or to anticipate the inevitable outcome with a touch of worry. Photographer Joshua Dudley Greer captured this experience firsthand while waiting outside the Fulton County Jail.
The most dedicated Trump supporters have been present for months, as have those thrilled by the arrests. Meanwhile, members of the media find themselves merely waiting to report on news they already anticipated. Perhaps nothing captures the exhaustion of this process quite like late summer in the South, where the heat and humidity weigh heavy.
However, the waiting game is far from over with just four indictments. This ongoing process has almost become familiar in 2023 due to the frequent updates and charges. But eventually, we will find ourselves waiting for the next uncertainty: the trials.
