Donald Trump said on Monday he would appeal the scheduling of a March 2024 trial over his alleged efforts to subvert his 2020 election defeat, though legal experts said such a move was not possible before a verdict is reached in the case.

"I will APPEAL," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. He did not say how or when the appeal would be made.

A trial court's scheduling decision is not a legitimate basis for an appeal prior to a verdict being reached, according to legal experts.

He probably doesn't know either.

Yeah, to be fair I also didn't know you couldn't appeal a date set by the court. I know I've personally requested court dates changed because I would be on vacation, so why couldn't Trump?

For traffic court probably not real "you fucked up" court.

He can and did request a different court date. The judge told him to piss off.
