    Being treated as if he is not above the law is not the only reason Trump is whining hysterically. The self-styled martyr is being forced to listen to Americans who do not worship the Cry Baby Loser. His lawyers contrived ways for him to avoid justice in his other, more serious criminal cases in the hopes that justice can eventually be crushed, but he's being force-fed truth in this one, and will be bitching and moaning throughout.

    He seems "selfish and self-serving,” said one woman.

    The way he carries himself in public "leaves something to be desired," said another.

    His “negative rhetoric and bias," said another man, is what is “most harmful."

    Over the past week, Trump has been forced to sit inside a frigid New York courtroom and listen to a parade of potential jurors in his criminal hush money trial share their unvarnished assessments of him.

    It’s been a dramatic departure for [Trump] who is accustomed to spending his days in a cocoon of cheering crowds and constant adulation.

    Now a criminal defendant, Trump will instead spend the next several weeks subjected to strict rules that strip him of control over everything from what he is permitted to say to the temperature of the room.

    “He’s the object of derision. It's his nightmare. He can't control the script. He can't control the cinematography. He can't control what's being said about him. And the outcome could go in a direction he really doesn't want," said Tim O'Brien, a Trump biographer and critic.

    I wonder how he would feel if some billionaire took out a full page ad suggesting capital punishment?

    It is good that Trump is being extended the privilege of hearing average Americans explain why so many regard him as being so repulsive.

    Despite the sexual abuser's desperate attempts to defer justice, he must now endure their freedom of speech in this trial.

    Especially if the minors that the billionaire* was recommending for execution ended up being innocent . . . and then the billionaire doubled down and just claimed that, well, they must have been up to something!

    *Note that said billionaire's supposed billions may, themselves, be fictitious.

    Not even a misdemeanor. He wanted completely innocent minors executed.

    Infinitely more freedom of speech than Trump has.

    If you are imagining a world in which the Cry Baby Loser is prevented from incessantly spewing his ravings in the media and before his grievance jubilees, it sounds like a utopian construct, indeed.

    I did provide a link. Meanwhile, you appear to be the first person on this forum to not know about Trump taking a full page out about wanting the Central Park 5 executed.

    You made a claim. You support it. That's how this works.

    I'm not sure why you always do this: demand more and more links that you'll never actually address. You get one more. If you can't be honest and address it . . . yet again . . . the message will be received loud and clear. Here you go again, and before you ask, it is impossible for me to read for you. You have to do it yourself: https://static01.nyt.com/images/201...arge.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale
