The Utter Joy of Watching Trump Watch People Who Despise Him
In his hush-money criminal trial, the former president is coming face to face with potential jurors who have expressed unvarnished opinions of him on social media
"He is now spending several hours a day being subjected to the contempt that ordinary people hold him in. Judging by his demeanor at the trial—when he’s not asleep, he’s scowling—it’s clear he doesn’t enjoy it."
HA!

@AFinLA When you’re someone in power, you’re often in a little reality bubble of your own making, w/ people fawning all over you (unless you work actively to expand your universe of understanding). It is indeed interesting to watch the piercing of trump’s cushy little bubble.

@AFinLA I prefer to call this trial the election interference trial. So many people dismiss this trial as just about hush money paid to a porn star. trump paid the money in order to delude voters, to cover his actions.

@AFinLA trump compares himself to Al Capone.. a criminal.. so we must remember
Al Capone, a mafia boss.. was the bad guy, was the criminal..
and he died in prison..

@EmmaFaber @AFinLA Um, Capone died after being discharged from prison. After years of syphilis, tho, his mind was that of a child.

@LostInCalifornia @AFinLA Well that was probably a better judgment than anything.. nature took it's natural course

@EmmaFaber @AFinLA Just saying, you make a better analogy.

Capone died a idiot not a martyr.

@LostInCalifornia @AFinLA thanks ..TRUMP is a mafia boss, so if he ends up like CAPONE did .. then there can be no better outcome can there?
