Trump reads positive press clippings about himself to bide time during trial
Instead of poring over evidence or arguments related to his legal defense, today in the courtroom Donald Trump leafed through positive press clippings about himself. “Much like a child with an iPad at a restaurant, the ex-president needs to be entertained during the less-salacious portions of his trial,” says Chris Hayes.

#Trump #DonaldTrump #hushmoney
Dementia patients are given papers to occupy time also. He has all the symptoms!!! HE IS GETTING WORSE ALSO!!!
Great....a narc with dementia....
Another symptom is chills.
Trump was Sundowning severely during his final press conference. He was using words that were odd, like saying "twenty-oh-six" for 2006 and many more mixes of sounding close, but the wrong meaning. His facial expression was distorted, showing only a puffy deadened look around his eyes, even when trying say things with anger or humour. He had the idea of what he wanted to say, about condemning Jews for voting Democrat - but got totally confused reading one of his articles. It was about some Jewish doners, that were unhappy about Biden restricting arms to Israel. He repeatedly got confused saying these pro-Israel doners somehow hated Israel. I've witnessed this stage of dementia before, in people that developed full blown Alzheimer's.
@@gregedmand9939 It couldn't happen to a nicer vile creature!
you are right biden has dementia
It's what narcissists do.
He's three blocks past narcissist. In fact it's his unique special brand, in a black jar, with gold block letters.
The Way of the Narc
@@jonproctor3739 A man in his 70s with hair like that is really all anyone needs to see. UNLESS you're a cult member. LOL
All that's missing at 2:50 is a set of crosshairs.
He believes in Norman Vincent Peele's power of positive thinking. If he believes he is winning he will win.
I would say the lawyers trying to stop him from having a temper tantrum... Like giving toddlers coloring books to keep them quiet. But it's unfair to compare him to a toddlers... They have much better self control than this dumpster fire
Trump needs to go and sit in time-out
He is not playing with a full deck. Sick and twisted.
Ok and threatening to withhold help for isreal is ok 👍 you lefties are insane
He has a full deck of jokers.

An election changing court case and you’re all in on the temperature ?
Because honestly, who cares? The only time he could possibly get any sympathy for that is on day 1. Anytime after that it's just foolishness on his part or more likely than not, he is just flat out lying about his fat depends filler being really cold. I would bet my life on the latter.

He gets no sympathy from me. He made countless numbers of people sad over the years and has never spent an hour of remorse for it.

Even after weaponizing the federal government and attacking him with the DOJ, the FBI, crooked prosecutors, crooked judges, and the liberal media Trump's still beating the bark off of Biden in every poll. That's how badly Biden sucks! FJB
It was you Marists that needed coloring books and safe places to cry when President Trump won.
I think they need to just give him a coloring book and crayons 😂😂😂
@@vstanick I don't think Trump could comprehend something as complicated and sophisticated as a coloring book, he'd have a hard time understanding it.

He’s like a child who needs a coloring book and crayons to keep him occupied while the grown ups do grown up things
In 2006 Trump was 60 years old, Stormy Daniels was 27 years old. Ivanka Trump was 25 years old.
And ashley biden was a child when her daddy joe took inappropriate showers with her.

The perfect point on the opposite side of that narcissistic behavior, how the crew of the McCarthy had to cover the ship's name on the bow so trump would be distracted for a speech. XD
The psycho also edits the parts of stories he doesn’t like, out completely.. That’s the most shallow stuff possible!
He gives "shallow" new depth.
Is it?
@@dienomo Yes... It means the man has no self-reflection and no growth as a human being... Accepting that you have a negative is the first step in fixing that negative. Avoiding it is childish in it's own right... But I've seen your others posts here. You have nothing to argue because you have no ground to do so. So you aimlessly try to counter point with lame comments like this. But I hope you read this and see where you can grow and be better, as you are a perfect specimen for my "Non-evolved human" theory I have. (Non-evolved referencing that a majority of our species still having the cognitive capacity of a cavemen)
Tuck Frump.

You reap what you sow, no sympathy for this creep!
Good!!
And I am so there for it.
Who else needs popcorn 🍿 here. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
He needs the validation to support his self-worth. It’s why he conducted election rallies despite being in office, kept interviews limited to parties who mirrored his ego, and surrounded himself with individuals who reiterated his speaking points. He sees validation as a source of truth, rather than as a means of boosting his ego. It never challenges his outlook, sense of self worth, or beliefs. It’s likely the compromise his lawyers made to keep him engaged. He can bring any information he likes to court, as long as that information is kept out of the court records (appeals to his sense of knowing something no one else knows, while allowing that information to remain personal). It’s his lawyers learning from his past antics in his other court case involving a woman. As long as DJT thinks he has an upper hand, it keeps him cooperative and quiet. And a quiet DJT is better than one introducing trivial, unsupported, or speculative information to his defense which tends to discredit his argument he’s truthful and distracts from the reality that he doesn’t need to prove anything for his defense; and only needs reasonable doubt (i.e., the prospect that the prosecution’s evidence doesn’t conclusively (sufficiently) demonstrate their assertions. Distraction is a particular skill used with individuals who have emotion regulation issues, to allow the immediacy of their reactions to pass and return to baseline without acting them out.
Trump: " my ego is so huge and fragile I need to be told how wonderful I am." YOU'RE NOT!!!!!!
100,000 people thought otherwise in New Jersey
@@bethanyhealy4989 Crowd counting experts say the crowd was actually around 30,000. So....once again Trump lied about crowd size...what a shocker!!

This is both incredibly sad and yet hilarious at the same time.
And spooky.
Totally agree. This is tragicomedy, not in fiction, but in reality.

"Stable Genius Shoots Self in Foot!" By making the DA prove every little detail, Trump is making the DA show every little detail to the jury. No room for doubt.

He has to, Trump is rich, white, and a former high office holder. If he doesn't, the 2-tier systems would work as intended.
Maybe Trump’s people can find the little guy an Etch-a-Sketch? That’s about his speed. He can turn the dials and shake it when he gets riled up!

Feed the Monster
Such a whiny old baby. The media should be non stop saying that he doesn’t have the guts to testify. Repeat and repeat, we know he flips around looking for people talking about him.
Alternative Facts come in handy in situations like this .
Is the "human printer" attending the trial?
They couldn’t afford the coloring books they usually use.
Having a batch of appealing printed material is something I’ve seen done for dementia patients. The person with whom I’m most familiar would spend extended periods shuffling through the same materials over and over, and spent long moments starting at photos of himself doing things. Without his papers he was often agitated and restless, but would be able to stay occupied calmly for 45 minutes to an hour with his papers.
Well, trump's father had Alzheimer's. If you have a parent or sibling with Alzheimer's, you are more likely to develop the disease than those who do not.
Like taking toddlers favourite story book, when visiting hospital
Trump’s like a kid at the breakfast table looking the cereal box cartoons as the grownups at the table talk!
It's to stop him from imploding or exploding. It has to make his ego feel great. It's not mainly to keep him busy, that's just a plus.
Such a baby.
They should give him a binky with that pile of papers. 👶
Gpaw needs a shawl and winter slippers with his pillow guy pillow.
Trump is such a baby.
My granny as she addjust her shawl..."Baaaaaby, baaaby, twurn up the heat... 'tis coal in here"

I wonder if the Rambo Trump depicted in those Maga flags would think it’s freezing in the court room 😂
He keeps complaining about how cold it is, because he wants to try and blame it on 'shrinkage' 🤣🤏🍄
Someone needs to let his mood stay down. Maybe then he will take time to think about all of the crazy and deranged things he says and does. Nothing like a little self reflection.
impossible for this con artist traitor
I had similar thoughts
Narcs are either incapable of self reflection or choose to avoid it because it would destroy their carefully crafted self image. I think in this case, he is UTTERLY without self awareness.
He's a full blown Narcissist. Narcissists that far up the spektrum don't "self reflect". Nothing that would have them feeling ashamed or embarrassed enough to change their conduct anyways. It's why he keeps behaving the way he does.
Is that the man-child equivalent of being given crayons and coloring book?
