According to statements made by the former President, Donald Trump himself, he appears to be embracing the opportunity to stand trial on criminal charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. However, behind the scenes, sources tell Rolling Stone a different story. Privately, Trump has been seething with anger over various aspects of the trial process.
This includes reports about him dozing off, the portrayal of him by the court sketch artist, and jokes made by late-night talk show hosts about his legal troubles. According to one source familiar with the situation, Trump’s frustration with the judicial process has reached levels of fury that are “maxed out, even for him.” Rolling Stone reporter Asawin Suebsaeng reports that Trump believes the courtroom sketch artist is targeting him, expressing concern that some of the images created “were likely drawn to mock him.”
“One such sketch captured Trump snoozing, with his eyes closed and head tilted,” Suebsaeng wrote.
