The former president got very mad about his inability attack witnesses and jurors before reportedly dozing off in court again
Donald Trump claimed on Friday that he has been stripped of his constitutional right to speak to the press … while ranting to a giant gaggle of reporters.
The former president took time before entering court in his criminal hush money trial to once again complain about a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, and jurors involved in the case.
“The gag order has to come off. People are allowed to speak about me and I have a gag order,” Trump said. “They are taking away my constitutional rights to speak, and that includes speaking to you. I have a lot to say to you, and I am not allowed to say it — and I’m the only one. Everyone else can say whatever they want about me. They can say anything they want, they can continue to make up lies […] But I’m not allowed to speak. I want to speak to the press and everybody else about it. So why am I gagged?”
Oh no, his right to verbally attack people involved in the court case he is the defendant of has been taken away!
Trump being forced to have to sit quietly in company of people who aren’t yes-men and stooges is the tiniest bit of relief I get from 8 years of having to put up with this guy in our news.
