steam he seems to be less popular each
day and he cannot deal with it Donald
Trump may be full of gas but his
supporters appear to be running out he's
um
Trump has been encouraging his fans to
Rally outside the courthouse and he's
unhappy that they haven't the New York
Times said the circus Trump wanted
outside his trial hasn't arrived this
was the scene outside the courthouse in
New York this morning you can see uh
while he was on no one showed up I don't
know if they're saving their energy for
one of his next criminal trials or and
while you would think Donald Trump
wouldn't be able to lie about the size
of a crowd that wasn't there there think
again here you go thousands of people
were turned away from the
courthouse by Steel stanions and police
literally blocks from the tiny side door
where I enter and leave it is an armed
Camp to keep people away maggot Hagerman
of the failing New York Times falsely
reported that I was disappointed with
the crowds no I'm disappointed with
maggot and her lack of writing skill her
lack of writing skill it's Maggie by the
way Heyman by the way she was the first
one to report about Trump falling asleep
in court and um and she conveniently
forgot to mention Trump is drawing the
biggest crowds of any president
criminally indicted for having sex with
a porn star in history and that's that's
just a bias that's
all
honey all Trump cares about is crowd
size one day he'll be sitting in the
electric chair bragging about all the
people who shut up the
wa the day began with some fireworks
there were several heated exchanges
between Trump's lawyers and the judge in
the hearing about whether or not he
definitely violated the judge's gag
order judge Maran told Trump's lead
attorney guy named Todd blanch that his
arguments didn't make sense that he
presented nothing and that he was losing
all credibility with the court to his
credit blanch fire back he said your
honor I lost all credibility when I
agreed to represent Donald Trump that is
not an
issue fortunately Trump didn't hear any
of it he was sound asleep
um let one Rip Van Winkle is dozing off
so often they're going to need one of
those NBA sweat wiper kids to mop the
drool puddles off his desk why Trump
hasn't already been punished for
violating the gag order I don't know I'm
sure he's driving his lawyers nuts 20
minutes after his lawyer told the judge
president Trump is being very careful to
comply with your order Trump very
carefully posted uh this highly
conflicted to put it mildly by the way
you can't put it mildly when you're
using all caps it's
impossible judge Juan Muran has taken
away my constitutional right to free
speech everybody is allowed to talk and
lie about me but I'm not allowed to
defend myself this is a kangaroo court
and the judge should recuse himself he
violated the gag order during a hearing
about whether he violated the gag
order on his way out of the courthouse
groper Cleveland stopped to tell
reporters how uncomfortably cold it is
in the room and how very unhappy he is
to be there they're keeping me in a
courtroom that's freezing by the way in
a courtroom all day long well he's out
campaigning that's probably an advantage
cuz he can't campaign nobody nobody
knows what he's doing he can't put two
sentences together yeah well you can
you're about to put two prison sentences
together maybe even three possibly
four I love hearing him so about how
cold it
is so much you knit him a little pair of
mittens to wear to court the one and
only witness today was Trump's old pal
and former publisher of the national
acquire a guy named David pecker who
looks like um the man on the Pringles
can was now dating your
mom pecker described what he called a
mutually beneficial relationship with
Trump it's weird the only faithful
relationship Trump's ever been in is
with the national Inquirer but think
about how insane it is that our our
president had a mutually benefici
official relationship with the national
Inquirer there are only two people on
the planet who can say that Donald Trump
and Bigfoot and among other things
pecker testified that he paid $30,000 to
a door man at Trump Tower to kill a
story that said Trump fathered an
illegitimate child with a maid Trump
says it never happened also it was
triplets and the maid was Cindy Crawford
but it never happened pecker testified
that in 2015 he had a meeting with Trump
and his lawyer fiction mic Cohen Michael
Cohen where they agreed he would be
their eyes and ears for any negative
stories women might be trying to sell
about Trump so they could pay the women
off or get the stories killed and he
would also publish positive stories
about Trump and negative stories about
his opponents many of them stories they
made up like this one about Dr Ben
Carson before he bent the knee bungling
surgeon Ben left sponge in patient
brain this one's about Ted Cruz Ted Cruz
shamed by porn star and um Hillary frame
Trump family you understand Donald Trump
who calls the New York Times fake news
was literally generating fake news
admittedly with his friend David pecker
everything he accuses anyone else of is
something he actually did and yet these
bootlickers on Fox news they cannot
believe the Injustice I consider myself
to be a proud American but after sitting
in that dirty disgusting criminal
courtroom today watching the former
president of the United States being
persecuted like a criminal I don't know
if I'm so proud to be an American
anymore the judge is ridiculous the
conflict of interest is ridiculous this
whole case is ridiculous these are the
types of election year shenanigans that
happen in other countries in third world
autocracies Trump's not even allowed to
complain about the thermostat it's a
meat locker in there he gets mocked for
just closing his eyes my father was
focused on running the United States of
America not bookkeeping this isn't law
fair it's torture a totally corrupt
judge and a totally corrupt district
attorney are going to try to put a
former president of the United States in
jail I mean this is literally like some
of the Civil Rights workers in
Mississippi in the
1960s literally literally is it there is
literally no difference between Donald
Trump and three men who are murdered by
the clan can somebody please put a sock
down n gingrich's throat already I mean
it's it's time what are these people
even
saying at least Mitt Romney Mitt Romney
is a republican who hasn't drunk the
Kool-Aid but every once in a while he
likes to come crashing through the wall
has made their own assessment of
President Trump's character and uh as so
far as I know you don't pay someone
$133,000 not to have sex with
you the MS are
off somebody slipped a vitamin in his
milk this morning or something Trump did
get some good news today he's expected
to get a stock bonus from his worthless
Media company for $1.2 billion do of
other people's money he's getting $1.2
billion for truth social and still doing
things like this so to all of you great
Maga Republicans I love you you know
that if you want to win a signed hat
from your all-time favorite President me
what you do is just sign up and you're
going to get it and here it is I'm going
to sign it right in front of you so this
way you know there's no games being
played like people play games constantly
playing games but there it is just
signed oh that's a nice one that's a 10
have a good time everybody yeah that's
right we will you go back to huffing
that pen um yeah I actually noticed can
we go back to the video now zoom in um
he has a tiny f Oscar on his sh I don't
know for best performance with an adult
video
star the man was President he has a
plastic Academy Award like he could buy
next door at the souvenir shop in his
maybe this explains why he gets so mad
about the Oscars he wants
one so sad you know one of the arguments
Trump's been making lately is that
Americans were better off four years ago
than we are now so for the sake of
comparison this is where we were exactly
four years ago go today so supposing we
hit the body with a tremendous uh
whether it's ultraviolet or just very
powerful light and I think you said that
has him in check but you're going to
test it and then I said supposing you
brought the light inside the body you
can which you can do either through the
skin or uh in some other way and I think
you said you're going to test that too
sounds
interesting right and then I see the
disinfectant where it knocks it out in a
minute one it and is there a way we can
do something like that uh by injection
inside or or almost a cleaning cuz you
see it gets on the lungs and it does a
tremendous number of the lungs so it' be
interesting to check that so that you're
going to have to use medical doctors
with but it sounds it sounds interesting
to
me one more minute of that she would
have hung herself with her scarf it's uh
that was our president meanwhile
President Biden was in uh Trump's home
state of Florida today his advisers were
worried about him going there because a
lot of times when an 81-year-old goes to
Florida they don't come back but Biden
believes he can win the
state um Step One winning Florida forg
giving all their jet ski loans and Biden
was in Tampa to talk about reproductive
freedom and to counter Trump's new and
very convenient position that claims
he's not so anti-abortion after all he
described the do's decision as a miracle
maybe it's coming from that Bible he's
trying to
sell
whoa I almost wanted to buy one just see
what the hell's in
it Biden and Romney are on a on a roll
today
that oh speaking of books you know what
today is garmo uh no you don't know Taco
