I wonder if he will do his “big scary man looking tough” through the whole thing? Or if he figures today was enough to get his “I’m a fighter” point across.
Exactly the way he behaved toward Hillary during their “debate.”
Every single opponent of Ali, Frasier, Tyson, etc were all ‘fighters’ too - just not good ones.
Seen on the inter webs ;
Trump: “This is a judge that should be disbarred. This is a judge that should be out of office. This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he’s doing. He’s interfering with an election and it’s a disgrace.”
Narrator: “This is also the judge who will decide Trump’s fate.”
I wonder if anything would actually be done, even if Trump at some point threatens the judge or James directly. Even if is in a comically inept way. (“when I am elected they will be executed for treason”)
He’s just working on his sentencing submissions: “Please don’t be as mean to me as you are to Daddy. It’s all his fault.”
Those were from McDougal’s, a cheaper knock-off.
He doesn’t have credit at MickeyD’s since he stiffed them for that dinner he hosted for the Clemson Tigers at the white house.
Ah yes! The old “he made me do it…” (while pointing with your lips) defense. So successful.
I’ve said before that Trump operates like an organized crime boss: he never actually orders anything like a hit, so he can truthfully say, “I never ordered that hit on the guy.” Instead, he drops broad hints about what he’d like to have happen. They sound innocent enough (“Nice guy to do business with. Be a shame if anything were to happen to him,” for example) but his wishes are clear.
I sincerely hoped she bee-lined to the nearest restroom and washed her hands.
I was going to ask if he was wearing gloves. I hope she’s feeling okay.
At least he didn’t bring her a cup of tea.
“Oh, yeah, the entourage. Get a bag of food for them, too…”
And get a burger for whatever lowly assistant is stuck paying for all of it.
I’ve seen a few thumbnail shots of Trump in the courtroom today. He seems to be doing the same pose as his mugshot in Georgia. Someone must have assured him that he looks like a total badass when he poses that way.
I will say this. If at any point in the penalty phase any decision hinges on the defendant’s remorse or lack of same, well … he’s got the “lack of same” market sewn up.
Maybe that’s Trump’s inspiration?
