#Trump #DonaldTrump #trump
I have never seen a grown man whine so much. It is staggering that there are people that look at him and think "this is a strong man, this is a leader." Absolutely pathetic.
He's just as bad of a bigot as they are.
Exactly
That's what I was thinking. Is that his idea of a strong person? If he were actually strong,he'd walk out and not say a word to the people in the hall!
He is innocent … of having a conscience
You said it. Let's see if they can recover from the fallout when this phase passes and a restoration is in full swing.
GET ON THE WITNESS STAND DONNY AND STOP YOUR SONG AND DANCE SHUFFLE
No one is going to feel sorry for this guy, he just doesn't deserve it.
Agreed. How can you claim innocent if you don't even have the balls to speak for yourself. And this the guy they want as president. He's just a coward bully in a clown suit.
It is an absolute disgrace. The gQp should have never allowed a morally bankrupt game show host to destroy their party, but it's too late for that, isn't it?
You believe men can get pregnant, bub.
@@jimeagle5509😂
Trump diminished all his opponents to me, especially. That wasn't a strong cast.
Because that's how scams work. The GOP got scammed first, then those who voted for him, . .
If he wants to see a disgrace all he needs to do is look into any mirror.
joe does that.
Just because you do it doesn't make it true !
@@kelperdude 🍊💩🍊💩🍊💩💨🤧😯🇺🇸
@@kelperdude Joe demonstrates daily what a disgrace Donald is.
@@kelperdudeYes, Joe does that. You wouldn't object to Trump doing the same, would you?
"Trump calls hush money trial a disgrace"???? Is that anything new? Isn't that what he says every single day when he goes in and out of court? I'm just sick of Trump's incesant whining!
Please stop whining.
Always sounds like a baby needing a diaper change
The charges against Trump for his behavior publicly identify him as the disgrace.
T**** really sounds like a broken with all the repeats.
He needs to not have any coverage coming out of the courtroom. He whinges about the exact same thing every time.
Let me guess " it's a disgrace" Let me guess " it's a witchhunt" Let me great "legal scholar all say ..."
Add: "This is happening, like it's never seen before'
Almost verbatim. Forgot the crying about the gag order.
You got it! President Trump is certainly an effective communicator!
It is a disgrace -- TRUMP'S DISGRACE!!!!
BidaconMan is a real American Idol.
Dusty Saddles testimony was completely irrelevant to the indictment charges, yet the extremely biased Judge Merchan allowed her salacious testimony to go on and on. Neither the indictment nor the testimony thus far has identified an actual crime.
He's obviously disturbed mentally.
The trial is a disgrace. As Harvard law professor emeritus has said and described in detail, "Trump trial: No crime, No First Amendment, No justice".

Then why is Trump beating Biden????
And his excruciatingly limited vocabulary...
"It's a disgrace" is one of Chump's favorite expressions. If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Normal people don't stand in a hallway in a courthouse with print outs about himself and lie and cry.
That's his picture book, all kiddies love those!😂
yes trump should testify or shut up
As a Democrat if he testifies in going to say he's just doing it for attention but if he doesn't then I'll say that he's a coward. It's a win-win for me!
Sadly he'll do neither.
Trump won't testify because his lawyers know he is guilty.
He shouldn’t dignify this kangaroo court.
Something tells me you Democrat don't know the perimeters for Shame or repentance or rethought, how can Alvin brag spend over 8years only to come up with just an "attempt" don't you guys have any scrupules or shame of your own, this is the worst witch hunt ever but don't worry , he will still be the president and I don't blame him for what he does in revenge, he will have the full support of all his supporters and remember the Democrats started it. Trump will drain the SWAMP
Trump had 18 years without the gag order to get anything off his chest about this that he wanted to. SHUT UP you had time dude.
Only disgrace is you Donald Trump
On the contrary your ignorance is the disgrace along with your inability to think for yourself!
Correct, but much worse.
Don’t talk about our first Emperor like that! 😠

*big guy joe.
Everything is 'shameful' and 'disgraceful', I'll bet he learned that as a child
And he has never learned anything else.
STOP.....Broadcasting his comments entering and exiting out of court... JUST STOP...
Skip past them. He's a broken record.
They didn't listen to Michael Steele!!
Why does Trump look like a shoplifter caught stealing from Walmart and now regretting he ever screamed "I didn't do anything" at the police?
Sucks to be a criminal defendant! Being held accountable is so painful for him, especially since his ignorance of the judicial system is just so glaring.
political persecution.
@@kelperdude🍊💩🍊💩🍊💩💨🤧😯🇺🇸
@@kelperdude just because the criminal defendant is a politician ? lol prosecution happens when you are indicted by a grand jury. Actually can’t really consider Trump a politician - he declared his Candace knowing he could face prosecution for almost 100 crimes ! So funny to see support for this ignorant con man.
@@kelperdudeYeah, the poor little thug.
Is trump able to say more than the words: disgace, witchhunt, disaster, biased, conflicted, very unfair etc? On a continuous, endless loop of petulant grievance? Can't his people come up with some new material? Or is he unable to assimilate anything new to spew?
The truth doesn't change. DJT is right.
@@rebeccasmith8567 The eternal victim. No wonder he's your hero.
He's dumb and all the money in the world can't hide that.

@@kelperdude SAD? You aren't smart enough to see through Trump's deception. Credit Inflation to the Republicans who added $ 8 Trillion dollars to the National Debt and to Trump's Stupid Tariffs on imports.

Um.. have you recently seen Biden try (and fail) to speak? There is a reason Biden and his failures are kept out of the news cycle.
no.

Only about ten more words.
The real disgrace is the Defendant in this case.
Stop talking about everything but proof of your innocence, all your energy in everything is misdirected
Does every defendant get to whine in front of the press like this???
One way to resolve this is take the stand and clear your name from the disgrace
And he will not do that because all he knows how to do is lie! He has a lot to say when he is not held accountable ! So tied of this 5 year old behavior> He has been this way his whole life living an over privileges life. Stop crying Donnie! You are Pathetic.
Trump should stop whining and stressing about Cohen. He looks very guilty his demeanour shows he is worried and severely stressed watching every move Cohen makes. Trump can’t ruin Cohens reputation. He already did. Cohen can’t ruin Trumps reputation. Trump has ruined his own. There is no reputation to salvage. You can fool some of the people some of the time.
You'd think someone innocent would just relax and let the FACTS exonerate them...

He should thank his lucky stars this is still a democracy. If it were an autocracy his death would have occurred between Jan 6 and Jan 21, 2021.
If Lincoln were a better president he would have abolished the Democrat Party.
But Lincoln actually knew something about the law, and so understood that it would be illegal to try that. Learn from Lincoln.
Then why didn't you do it yourself. Or are you all mouth?
“Democrat” Party - ha ha ha! From now on I’m saying “Republic Party”!
You do realize that when Lincoln was alive the Republican party was the progressive party… The two parties have swapped platforms since then, so all these comments about Lincoln and the Republican Party have no bearing on today. It only serves to make the person who brings up such comparisons look unread.
5,437 times violating the gag order THEN big consequences!
If Trump wants to say his piece, he should take the witness stand.

It says that he can't talk that he's gagged get yourself up there on the stand big boy Trump
BS. Trump has been insulting both of them, so just stop talking crap
why does Trump always describe himself when he describes someone or something that he doesn't like? "total disgrace", so he just described himself
He projects everything about himself onto others. Typical narcissist. Want to know what he did, is accused of, or is about to do? Listen to what he blames others of doing and then you will know exactly what he is doing!!!
Ya know...like election interference....for example
No Gag order if you take the stand and SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT! But Remember the threat of jail through PERJURY !

Really that’s your headline? He says that constantly
Donald Trump this is not Burger King you cannot have it your way
Trump can saw what he wants. He just needs to watch HOW he says it,. and whether or not what he says could be construed as a threat to anyone. This is one of those situations in life where you shouldn't need a Law or a Court or a Judge to teach you how to speak. Just stop and be reflective about your thoughts before you say them. Oh wait... Trump can't do that.
The only disgrace is the blob on trial.
