This means his staff won’t be able to whisk him out of the public gaze as soon as he starts displaying instances of clear cognitive decline, especially sundowning if the trial days run long.
Add to that the obvious problem of continence and the need to be able to change those products as needed.
This is a lot worse for Trump than missing a kid’s graduation. Speaking of cognitive decline, it was strange Trump spoke of himself in the third person there:
“I was looking forward to that graduation, with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge does not allow me to escape this scam,” he said.
The kid looks exactly like Donald did back in the 60s; I don’t think there’s any doubt at all as to Barron’s parentage.
But we can all look forward to more verbal slips like this, especially if he starts decompensating again as rapidly as he seemed to toward the end of the E. Jean Carroll trial.
As usual, Trump is lying about being prevented from attending the graduation:
Merchan has not prevented Trump from attending his son’s graduation. In fact, when asked if Trump could be excused from court on Friday to attend the event, the judge stated that it was too early to rule on the matter but that if the trial proceeded as planned, he would be open to excusing the defendant.<
“This whole trial thing isn’t really convenient for me at all - can we just skip to the part where I win?”
In all four cases, he was allowed to remain free pending trial, as long as he abided by certain conditions of release (conditions that he has, at times, flouted with few consequences).
Shouldn’t be surprising the he is upset about possibly needung to follow a judge’s orders after getting free reign on everything prior. Hope this judge actually follows though, but not holding my breath.
The title of this video and the douche jumping in with his take periodically are…just awful.
Absolutely heinous
I actually thought about tracking down the original source because it was so obnoxious, but I didn’t have the motivation to invest the time in it
Agreed. I love watching sovcits get what’s due but that guy added nothing
watching sov cits getting owned is it past time of mine
And he griped about the prospect of missing Barron’s graduation.
“I was looking forward to that graduation, with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge does not allow me to escape this scam,” he said
Wait, who is Barron’s father?
Think of this in context. It originally ready barron was looking forward to having his mo there and father there. But trump couldn’t stand seeing the sentence being about Barron so they changed it to I
I’m guessing this is his verbal/textual diarrhea form of saying “I wanted him to graduate with both of his parents there to see it”.
He really doesn’t want to miss the graduation of the child he ditched to raw dog a porn star because …. ?
Whole thing is a scam. Not because of Trump, but because the legal system is a scam in the US. He’s sitting trial for things that happened in the run up to the 2016 election. 8 years of zero consequences.
Assuming he loses, he will appeal. Assuming he loses, he will appeal. Everyone knows that if there was ever an appeal case for supreme court consideration, something involving a former president is a pretty good case. That’s going to be 3 years to a court he’s stacked.
If he’s still alive in 2028 he’ll still be free, 12 years of no consequence other than sitting in a chair sometimes. And that’s it.
That would have to be one hell of an appeal, regardless of the court stacking.
His co-conspirator in this crime, Michael Cohen, already got convicted and served his sentence.
Let him appeal if he’s convicted. If he is initially sentenced to prison, he’s not allowed to post bail and will continue to serve. Hopefully it would take a while to get up to SCOTUS, and he can enjoy wearing orange to match the rest of him for at least that long.
Oh honey prison doesn’t work like that for rich people
Man, there are a bunch of undeservedly optimistic statements packed into that comment.
Lock him up.
