“This is a witch hunt, and it’s a very corrupt trial,” Trump said on his way into court Thursday.
He still doesn't grasp that this is not a trial. The judge has already found the Trump org guilty. This is about assessing damages.

“This is a witch hunt, and it’s a very corrupt trial,” Trump said on his way into court Thursday.
He still doesn't grasp that this is not a trial. The judge has already found the Trump org guilty. This is about assessing damages.
Technically, they’ve been found liable - not guilty - as this is a civil trial. But, yeah, you’re right. At this point, it’s just a matter of determining how much they’ll have to pay.
In this case, it’s a useless distinction that encourages people to still deny responsibility. “They said I had to pay something but I’m not guilty of anything.” Like the press still having to say “allegedly” when there’s a mountain of proof something did really happen.
It’s a technical distinction in law. Is he guilty of the things of which he’s been accused? Also yes, but in a colloquial sense.
As far as the “allegedly” thing goes with the press: I’m kind of on the side with agreeing with it, just because I know that if I were wrongly accused of a crime that made it to the press, I know I would want them to use the word “allegedly” until it was actually proven edit: * in a court of law*.
Ok, enough with the pedantry!
Actually, he was found guilty on one count. The trial is partly to decide how much money he has to pay, and partly to decide if he's guilty on any of the other ~6 counts.
Six Head, Shit Head, and Empty Head.
Quite the trio in that thumbnail photo.
My God that is quite a bit of forehead
And this camera is already at a high angle. His hair must be migrating to his neck. The entire legal team looks like people set to random on character generators. Each their own kind of weirdo.
I know it seems like real life from this perspective, but we’re actually in a Dick Tracy villain origin story.
He's got Peyton Manning beat for sure.
