Panicking Trump Hilariously Melts Down as Hush-Money Jury Convenes

>THE GREATEST CASE I’VE EVER SEEN FOR RELIANCE ON COUNSEL, AND JUDGE MERCHAN WILL NOT, FOR WHATEVER REASON, LET ME USE THAT AS A DEFENSE IN THIS RIGGED TRIAL.
Article omits the key fact that reliance on counsel defense negates attorney client privilege and would require the defendant to testify exactly what counsel they received from their lawyer. This would allow the prosecutor to cross-examine the defendant.
The reason Trump didn’t isn’t because the judge forbade it. He can’t take the stand because he doesn’t have an honest defense for what he did. He would only incriminate himself further if he took the stand.
Imagine being so goddamn stupid that you can read a milionaire posting all caps rants whining about how unfair his life and his porn star hush money trial are and think “yes. This is the man that I want to have the nuclear button”.
Why would anyone want an out of control immature brat be the highest ranking official in the United States of America?

I’ll admit I don’t know too much about George Soros, his role in modern politics (nor why he continues to send me a check every month! /s), but I have never once taken seriously anyone who says stuff like this. It is just so deeply unserious.

He’s really this stupid
He doesn’t strike me as the guy who gives a full and honest disclosure, listens to advice, accurately follows advice or acts in good faith.
Man, I feel for this jury. This is such a high profile case in all regards. I’m curious how those guys were able to keep any information about the trial away from even their periphery, especially in a place like New York City. I hope it’s not a tough decision for them to make. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of that jury room.
Does he order Todd Blanche to stand behind him with that ridiculous expression every time he’s on camera?
He had the opportunity to testify, he chose not to for this precise reason; to cry.
“A CORRUPT AND CONFLICTED JUDGE.” Is he referring to Judge Cannon?
“ADVICE OF COUNCEL” is tRump trying to push the blame on his attorneys? Is this why his attorneys need attorneys? 😆
I’m just sad that if he is guilty, no camera will catch the look on his face when he hears the verdict. Because THAT is the t-shirt I want.
No fuckin way the tangerine toddler came up with “reliance on council” on his own.
My assumption it came from his “attractive but I can fake being smart” attorney planted this phrase as she was departing from another late night McDonalds catered “working session” (that she also billed him for).

Just look at those tiny little hands!
what an unhinged monster. How does this man not have 10 heart attacks by now. Born of immense privilege and spends his entire life with a persecution complex. His blood pressure must be through the roof.
You know, Republican voters are doubling down by picking this guy as their 2024 presidential nominee. They had/have a choice, and they chose/are choosing this guy. There were other choices, and they picked/are picking this guy. Let that sink in. If this is the best America has to offer, a washed up, already lost last time, sexual abuser and perhaps felon, God help us, because at least 50% of the country has some skewed reasoning and logic. And before anyone mentions Biden, an incumbent gets to decide if he is running for a second presidential term (and maybe someday she will get to decide too).
“KANGAROO COURT! A CORRUPT AND CONFLICTED JUDGE. RELIANCE ON COUNSEL (ADVISE OF COUNSEL) NOT ALLOWED BY MERCHAN, A FIRST. HIS RULINGS, ON A CASE THAT SHOULD, ACCORDING TO ALL LEGAL SCHOLARS AND EXPERTS, NEVER HAVE BEEN BROUGHT, HAVE MADE THIS A BIDEN PUSHED WITCH HUNT. THERE WAS NO CRIME, EXCEPT FOR THE BUM THAT GOT CAUGHT STEALING FROM ME! IN GOD WE TRUST!”

It’s scared.
Whatever the outcome, I’m just glad he’s miserable.
Trump is not hilarious. The end of the USA is not hilarious.
What a pathetic sick fuck
Every whiny ass all caps post he makes just shows he’s absolutely dumb. Everything he whines about was brought up already but he wasn’t present, was sleeping or he’s too dumb to comprehend.
He’s so stupid that he can’t pay attention to his own case in a courtroom he sits in… with several lawyers he ignores…. With these accusations like “what are the charges?!” That are posted on Wikipedia which is too difficult for him to find as I don’t think he internets well.
“Mother Teresa couldn’t beat these charges!”
Correct, if Mother Teresa falsified documents 34x in order to commit fraud then she wouldn’t be able to beat the charges.
Every word out of Trump’s mouth is a lie or false.
The rants today is what a narcissistic meltdown looks like when “worlds collide” and their lies are going to cost them.
He’s a pathological liar and he actually believes he is better than everyone to the point he should never be held accountable for all his wrongdoings.
He thinks he’s an untouchable mob boss.
It’s hilarious to hear him go off and lie some more. Basically throw anything and everything against the wall to make anything stick. It has worked before.
I hope it stops working and I hope he is held accountable for every crime he’s ever committed.
This man has gleefully destroyed more lives than anyone can imagine.
He is a human cancer, a disease.
I hope Americans can defeat him and his kind like we did in WW2, without more bloodshed. And I hope our allies can forgive us our fools.
Vote and get all your friends to vote. Don’t let anyone you know stay home in November.
Otherwise I fear there will be wars we all will not survive and our kids will be left to clean up the absolutely unnecessary and dangerous mess this man and his immoral, spineless lackies created.
