“It’s clear Trump wanted to avoid the bloodbath of a cross-examination but wanted to say something”

Former President Donald Trump spent just three minutes on the witness stand Thursday in his defamation trial brought by E. Jean Carroll, using his testimony to declare that he backs his prior deposition denying the writer’s claims.

As Trump left the courtroom, according to The Messenger’s Adam Klasfeld, he complained to the press in the gallery, saying, “It’s not America. It’s not America. This is not America.”

    Look. These people didn’t get the job on their skill but on the light drama they create while doing whatever they’ve been told to do to further their own success.

    Just like another poster noted, that some have to graduate at the bottom of their class, the pool of scummy politicos on their last career option must be deep enough they could pick two with marketability and malleability to be a success as a conservative talking head.

      Didn’t come up with those, but it bears reposting.

      I’m paraphrasing badly, but Einstein said that if measure intelligence by how well a species climbs trees, dolphins would be considered idiots.
