The former president and GOP frontrunner was once again a chaotic wreck during his second E. Jean Carroll defamation trial.
Trump fans love when the big guy gets mad. They love when he hurls insults, when he attacks journalists (or inspires others to do so), when he vows revenge on his endless list of enemies. (Do these same people like when he doesn’t understand how magnets work, forgets about World War II, and can’t get the sitting president right? Oh, probably.) This week the former president is back in court, despite not having to be there. And of course he’s acting like a petulant child again, even if only jurists and journalists are there to see it.
Trump was back in the hometown that hates him Wednesday for the second defamation lawsuit brought on him by E. Jean Carroll. He’s already a predictably unruly presence in a courtroom, but this may have been him at his worst. During the trial’s second day, which found Carroll taking the witness stand, Trump, per Politico’s Erica Orden, was muttering so loud that the jury could hear it.
