The second day of jury selection for Donald Trump’s hush-money trial hadn’t even begun Tuesday when the former president embarked on his first angry tirade about his perpetual victimhood.
After firing off a caps-lock-ridden missive against the judge presiding over his case, Trump arrived at the Manhattan courthouse and complained to reporters outside that he should be campaigning instead of being in court. According to pool reports, he then walked into the courtroom and winked at a court officer before taking a seat between his lawyers, Emil Bove and Todd Blanche.
While preparing to stand trial on felony charges over a 2016 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, the former president also found time to, once again, rant against the judge on social media.
