The former president’s anger during the first week of his New York hush money trial was “maxed out, even for him,” a source tells Rolling Stone

Donald Trump, if you take it from him, is cherishing the opportunity to stand trial on criminal charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. “I’m very proud to be here,” he told reporters before heading into court on Monday, calling the proceedings an “assault on America” that his presence, presumably, would serve to expose. “I’m very honored to be here,” the former president added.

Trump hasn’t been taking to martyrdom very well behind the scenes, though, three sources with knowledge of the matter tell Rolling Stone. He has privately raged over everything from reports that he can’t stop dozing off, to how the court sketch artist is rendering him, to late-night talk show hosts joking about his legal troubles. The former president is reaching levels of fury over the judicial process and all it entails that are “maxed out, even for him,” says one source who has had to personally endure Trump’s recent rantings about his trial.

    So how long before we hear about New York courtroom sketch artists getting death threats?

      If I understood anything about the MAGA people is that they are fast at getting angry but slow at understanding what they should be angry about…

          Back after the pussy grabber tape came out, a MAGoo woman went on the TV show The View to defend Donnie. One of the panelists kept saying ‘pussy’ over and over. Finally the MAGoo snapped and demanded that the other woman stop using that offensive term.

            Don’t know if the panelist that kept saying ‘pussy’ was deliberately baiting her into revealing her hypocrisy, but if they were then fucking bravo.

    It is fucking hilarious that he’s fixated on how the court sketch artist “drew him bad”, which is the absolute least important detail he should be focusing on right now.

      His image is actually the only thing he really cares about. Which sadly makes sense because it’s also the only thing he should have when this is all over.

    This is a clear call to anyone sketching him in court to turn the “caricature” dial all the fucking way up to 11.

    Let him rage. If a stroke takes him out of the game, the world wins.

    I wish we could just fire him into the sun. The world is sick of hearing about his diaper-clad ass.

      I would rather they grind him down with trials and punish him so that others think twice before following in his steps.

            Damn straight one can, but firing him into the sun is a far more realistic dream than thinking Trump will be made an example of anything but how to get away with every political crime known to man.

            I like the way you think though.

    Its Democrats resorting to this kind of gossip tabloid news to get their fix that will be their own downfall. Even Hillary had the insight to say that when they go low, we go high.

    You’ve got plenty of legitimate things to complain about and investigate. Be careful promoting this type of stuff is all I have to say, or at least don’t complain when it backfires and he uses it to get a new trial.

          So many people lost their heads that she’d say such a thing, but from what we’ve seen since then, it was an understatement.
