The Judge sits above him.
He's not used to others being above him.

[davidroosa]

at least his wife and family were there to support wait, what?

[maskedmarvyl]

He was bored and fell asleep three times because he's never had to concentrate on anything for this length of time before.

[andan]

Bored because he's not getting to talk about himself ad nauseam

[resQfurppl]

oh boo hoo 🤬 maybe you shouldn’t have broken 34 laws!!!

[williamkelly]

He won't continue to behave. It's only a matter of time before he has a meltdown or several

[rrrjjj]

Hey Donald, it's your own actions that are keeping you from attending your son's graduation. Stop blaming others for the results of your actions. No one has "lifetime immunity." Consequences are a way for us to learn, to do better.

*I LOVE THE FACT* - he has to sit there like a good little boy every day for 2 or 3 months, he eats when the judge says he can eat, he arrives when told, he gets to leave when the judge says he can leave...

this will be the single worst experience of his ENTIRE LIFE

[vanadyan]

The worm is on the hook, watch him squirm, throw the book.

[kay-guey]

Trump says Micheal Cohen is a terrible lawyer, yet he employed him for twelve long years. Hard to take Trump's claim seriously.

Confused British person here. If a defendant in the UK stood outside the Court and called the judge a crook to waiting press, the first thing that would happen on going inside would to be given an immediate custodial sentence for contempt of court. How is this man not already in jail?

[judyvanselous]

I am super proud of the Americans that are honest and say that they couldn’t be impartial

[bgfdqbo]

Hard to imagine a person who has trashed so many other people's lives, and the lives of their families, himself upset that he may not see an event in his son's life. Awwww. There, there.

[jennifermorris]

Is that the son’s graduation that was only a baby when he was fooling around with SD?

[neildutton]

"Fidgety, can't sit still"....check his diaper.... usually the problem with my one year old.

[martelbaran]

His wife and youngest son have been absent since his Mother in Law passed away, so the graduation event, likely is just another excuse and lie from stumpy!

[johnwest]

If you think trump's bored now, just wait till he's been sitting in his cell for 6 months.

[deborahbarbour]

He's getting a dose of how ordinary folks are treated in criminal court. He's not used to that. It's a shock to his system.

[miguelpaul]

The narcissist was on his best behavior because he was fully sedated and on downers bc pig eyes was losing it that morning.

[mariekamerdula]

45 delayed, and delayed, and delayed, ect. So it's really his own fault all this wasn't solved months ago.
