I gifted this WSJ link so there is no paywall.

Donald Trump, a billionaire accustomed to jet-setting between adoring campaign rallies and his Florida estate, has spent two weekswith as many as six to gositting unhappily at the defense table in the city where he built his real-estate empire and his 2016 White House campaign. Though he fumes daily about the 34 New York felony charges hes facing, the small indignities of being on trial are what appear to bother him most.
Hes freezing, he says, due to the buildings finicky heating system. In court he cant eat or drink anything but water, robbing him of some of the multiple Diet Cokes he consumes in a typical day. He can use the bathroom only when the judge declares a break in proceedings. A panel of 18 New Yorkers12 jurors and six alternateshave front-row seats to his every yawn, catnap and mutter.
Perhaps worst of all, Trump must remain silent in court as witnesses who swear to tell the truth recount his alleged crimes and sexual impropriety several feet away.
Hes miserable, said John Catsimatidis, the New York grocery-store magnate and a longtime Trump friend. There is no more horrible thing than just having to sit there and be quiet.

(10,370 posts)I still think of the hundreds of children Trump had ripped away from their migrant parents and sent somewhere with no records of where. Hundreds have still not been found, and its likely that they never will be since Trump and his evil twin Miller probably sent them to sex traffickers.
If I prayed, Id be on my knees every day praying for a guilty verdict and jail time. Then Trump might know some real misery.

TRAITOR** has perpetrated on US and the rest of the sane world these last almost nine years, if he isn't writhing in excruciating agony every second of every day, BEHIND BARS, he isn't nearly miserable enough.
Side note: he has friends???

. drug (adderall) use and has to wait until the judge tells him he can go and use the little boys
room. I pity who or whom ever has the job of cleaning him up and changing his diapers. I hope
he is miserable because a large of the 14 million dead from C-19 is because of his actions.

(32,123 posts)Oh, really??? I'm thinking that all of those tens of thousands people who suffered and died from COVID due to his neglect, or who are dealing with life-long debilitation from it--and their loved ones, would heartily disagree with that. Ditto for all the Puerto Ricans who had paper towels thrown in their faces by that motherfucker, after they lost everything. And, I could go on all day with lots of other examples that are worse than having to sit down and shut up. Go fuck yourself, Mr. Catsimatidis, you over-privileged sack of shit.
