You were right when you said "Chump".

[Sandra-dmrd]

She got it right the first time - Chump

[brandonmonroe]

His wife and newborn son were home alone while all this was happening

[mr.pizzamarlon]

He's [proud] to be there... Oh, is that why you attempted _everything_ in your power to *delay* sir because your proud?

[ShinAdamSmasher]

Stop calling it "hush money". Stop giving the wannabe tyrant a platform. It's been a long time since 2015. LEARN!

I can see how this selection process will go. Do you have TDS? No? Not on the jury, next.

Him saying this is an assualt on our country. Are you sure you are not the assualt Mr Chump?

Picking a jury for this isn’t going to be easy, everyone knows who and what he is. Good luck guys! 🤞

It would be nice if you covered any actual news not political drama.

Why does it matter what news station you watch

What happened to the brown face paint ?

[Bevpiatt]

Why do y’all keep putting Trump news out if y’all would stop talking about him he will start disappearing I can’t with this man he don’t deserve to be president of our great nation

[GREGORPRODUCTIONS]

Stormy is such a lovely contrast to this nasty man, nasty.

[AlvaSudden]

Every juvenile delinquent and 2-bit punk says the system is "rigged."

[jayralston]

why is it against the law to pay hush money

[NorbertoMercado-wqqx]

Long live Donald Trump ! You are much much better than grandpa Joe !

[reecom]

Trump is always seeking the spot light wearing his iconic red tie. He's like a clown wearing a red nose seeking attention!

[jmhiss]

Proud to be here, he says. He has done nothing that he should be proud of. His actions caused this case to even exist so no one to blame but himself. Unfortunately for him it disrupts his campaign but decent law abiding presidential conduct on his part could have prevented the whole thing

[Paul-bppc]

Donald Trump don't defend yourself donating 100 million to our homeless people that's what you should do

[slottibarfast]

Do people on trial get time off for graduations? What next birthday parties.
