"SNIP.......

A law enforcement official tells Rolling Stone that Donald Trump “was offered a chance to surrender quietly and be arraigned over Zoom. Instead, Trump opted for a midday, high-profile booking at the Manhattan courthouse.”

Said the official: “He wanted a perp walk, he wanted daylight hours. He wants to get out of the vehicle and walk up the stairs. This is a nightmare for Secret Service, but they can only strongly suggest — not order — that Trump enter through the secure tunnels. Trump wants to greet the crowd. This should be a surprise to no one — especially not his detail.”

1. Because of course

He must always have a show, and make everything all about him.

[Tickle]

2. I thought that's what was going on

He's such a jerk.

[Irish_Dem]

3. He doesn't appear to be taking any of this seriously at all.

Still a big joke and grifting opportunity.

4. Bring in the clown.

[Thomas Hurt]

5. Of course, he needs to whine and bitch and beg for money.

[Beachnutt]

6. It's all about the Grift

[Chainfire]

7. He wants it to be a good old fashioned, hell raising revival.

8. And don't hold his head down when he gets in the vehicle.

9. Close the front steps

and make him walk around to the back door.

10. and, yet, his team of hack lawyers do not want cameras in the

courtroom because of the the "circus-like atmosphere surrounding this case"...have they met their client?...this is a circus he orchestrated...

11. "Have they met their client?".....

[kimbutgar]

12. And you know he will use the photos to fundraise off his being arraigned

Making him a martyr to his cult base.

[Jarqui]

13. I hope the chants of "Lock Him Up!" are deafening ...

He'd regret that playing in the news ...

[UTUSN]

14. There's got to be a diagnosis for this level of attention grabbing

[FakeNoose]

15. Always more for grifting

You can't grift $ millions if you aren't visible 24/7.
