    Man, I found this weirdly satisfying: “But just as the judge neared the end of his sentence, Trump abruptly stood up—apparently thinking the day was over. Immediately, Merchan turned his face to the former president and said in a firm voice: ‘Sir, can you please have a seat.’ His long, black robes dangled from beneath his right hand as he waved it down, like a man addressing his dog. It wasn’t a question. Without hesitation, Trump went and plopped straight back down into his maroon leather chair at the defense table—and remained for another minute, fuming as the judge gathered his paperwork and strolled toward his chambers.”

        Trump stood up to early and a judge, politely, asked him to sit back down. Trump did so without bitching.

        This actually made the news.

        Edit AND NOW ITS A TOP STORY HAHAHAHAA

          To be fair Trump doing literally fucking anything that someone other than Vladimir Putin asked him to do, without bitching about it, is incredibly newsworthy. In fact I’m not sure it’s ever happened before.

            So…thats why we are seeing this as a news story? The title is just a red hearing to lead us to how trump didn’t complain during a mundane court activity?

          Man must be sweet for Trump’s pr team who can just take the day off and go suck each other off instead. Another media cycle secured

          If he really was clicking his tongue as he walked out of the court, that’s what my MIL started doing as her Alzheimer’s dementia started getting bad.

        You don’t? I call mine Mr. Floofers, Señor Flooferson and, around St. Patty’s day he wanted to be Shamus O’Floof. None of those are anywhere close to his actual name.

        After only a few years, my dog has been knighted, has an honorary doctorate, is a king, and occasionally a monsignor. He also has a deep lineage on both the Floofington and Sheddingsworth lines.
