  2. Trump has lived his life, with all the civil lawsuits against him, thinking he’s out of reach of the law. Hopefully this criminal case will prove him wrong.

  3. Trump lacks even the most basic tenets of simple human decency

  4. Well he is the world’s greatest genius and legal scholar, everybody’s saying.

  5. Just get him to testify. Please. It would be the funniest shit.

  6. He doesn’t care what the results are… he knows he’s going to lose. This is all free publicity and a way to rile up his base.

    Lawyer is looking at the trees, he’s looking at the forest.

    It’s really annoying how this guy stays on the front page of ever paper daily.

    Dems enjoy the schadenfreude, aloof to the fact that this is HELPING him. We’re rapidly heading toward fascism and people are cheering it on.

  8. Remember that the republicans are covering for Trump and were directly involved in many of Trump’s worst crimes. Keep voting out republicans every year. Check your registration, get an ID , learn where your poling station is, learn who is running in down ballot races. Pay attention to primaries not just for the president but for all races, local, state and federal. From the school board to the White House every election matters. The more support we give the democrats from all levels of government the more they can get good things done. We vote out republicans and primary out uncooperative democrats.

    Last year democrat victories in Virginia and Pennsylvania and others across the nation have increased the chances of democrats winning this year. This year’s elections are important but so will next year’s elections.

  9. Trump’s lawyers made a big deal out of pictures captioned “Orange is the new black” and such but they didn’t ask how many of their loved ones ended up in refrigerated trucks when Covid was only effecting blue states. The news cycle has forgotten but I doubt New Yorkers have. Perhaps he thinks it prudent to not face them.

  10. His lawyers, some of the biggest and strongest lawyers available, everyone says so, apparently came to him with tears in their eyes and said “Sir, never fight uphill me boy.”

  11. > PoopyPants ignoring “most basic” legal

    The imbecile who stared into the sun during the eclipse?

    Imagine!

    Surely not!

    Just think of the consequences!

  12. Trump couldn’t follow legal advice if he wanted to. He’s got the attention span of a flea and zero filter.

  13. God, the fist in that photo is so tiny, my brain is having trouble registering it as being attached to the bloated body it is next to.

  14. That is one of his “Strategies” when he knows he is going to lose. He wants his lawyers to quit so he can delay the case until he finds a new set of recent graduates from Bubba’s Skool of Lawyerin’ and Deezul Enjun Fixin’, and then get them up to speed.

  15. The more I look at the fist, the weirder it looks.

  16. Trump is on the platinum tier justice plan. The basic advice only applies to people who get basic plan justice.

  17. He’s aware that he may wet fart in his diaper when standing up or sitting down.

  19. This article is a nothing burger. Man known for asshole behavior exhibits, get this, asshole behavior. Shocking.

  20. Trump was failing to “rise along with everyone else in the courtroom” as potential jurors were seated in the audience.

    Saved you a Click.

  21. Worked for litigation consultants for years. The most common advice is “shut your trap”

    So yah

  22. It’s not going to matter if the judge won’t punish him and they media keeps trying to sabotage the trial exposing jurors information publicly

  23. Funny what you’ll do when you know with absolute certainty that there will be no significant consequences and that the legal/financial system will keep enabling you.

  24. To be honest. Trump is right. There is no consequences. So why would he tone it down?

  25. Yes, what a surprise – Elderly man whose been able to avoid accountability his whole life, and has been rewarded repeatedly by his outrageous behavior, continues to exhibit said behavior after the legal system repeatedly reinforces how special he is, by allowing him to enjoy special privilege after special privilege. Call me shocked..

  27. On top of everything else, he has such freakishly small hands!

  28. Why tf is looking like he was knocking on a door? Is that supposed to be some fist of solidarity?? Got that boomer lead paint stare too.
