Fat former President Trump really lost his shit over being found in contempt of court on Tuesday, writing “This is a total Witch Hunt. Hours of sitting down and listening to nothing except EXONERATION AND LIES. The Trial is going like a speeding bullet, because the Judge is working hard to make all of his friends happy. Merchan is Rigged, Crooked and above all, and without question, CONFLICTED. It’s a disgrace to our Country – They’ve taken away my Right to Free Speech. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!” in a Truth Social post following the rough go of it.
The “nothing except EXONERATION AND LIES” is kind of self-contradictory, as was his earlier rant outside the courtroom in which he screamed that Judge Merchan is “rushing this case through,” but also that “somebody just told me they never sat for such a long period of time in a courthouse before. It’s ridiculous.” And yeah it is ridiculous to say that because defendants, lawyers, plaintiffs, judges, bailiffs, and others sit in that courthouse for lengthy trials all the time. Every day, really.
