but he wasn't in the mood...

From an LA Times columnist:

Donald Trump, once the most powerful man on Earth, threw himself a pity party Tuesday night. Indicted, booked and fingerprinted, the former president scurried home to his safe space at Mar-a-Lago, where surrounded by sycophants and other grasping hangers-on, he whined.

And this:
Never one to pass up a fast buck, the avaricious ex-president marketed T-shirts Tuesday with a made-up mug shot — a steely-faced defendant, the historic date and the words NOT GUILTY — and put them on sale as he prepared to be arraigned.

Takes on a haughty posture which is always a pretense.

Straightens up, tilts head back to be "down-looking", and narrows eyes.

Frankly, he looks to me like he might be promising himself he'll gas the nation, or at least blue cities, with sarin once he's back in power.

That said, I've changed my mind about the appropriateness of leading off prosecution with payoffs to a porn star. No matter how big his treason and crimes against humanity, that's basically the kind of person he is.

Wish I could send a thank-you to the officer who left the sick schmuck to hold his own door.

This is a guy who thinks he’s a king. He requires all guests at Mar a Lago to stand and applaud every time he enters a room. He probably hasn’t held a door open for himself in 6 years.

Salt in the wounds.

And you know his height and weight being released is killing him too. 6-1 (likely in shoes), and 270 lbs is a huge blow to his ego.

It doesn't enter his tiny mind when he follows someone through a door that they won't hold it open while he walks through, much less that he should hold it for people coming behind him. Such a rude, entitled, spoiled brat.

Most people going thru a door usually have their arms at waist height in preparation to catching the door. Not him. He was surprised by that door not being held open for his majesty.

And who is that lawyer(?) who steps in right behind the Trump? He lets Trump hold the door open for him. Hehe.

He deserves all the heat he is taking right now. Scorn coming in heaps. The judge pretty much told him to cease and desist with the nonstop hate speech. So what does he do? Goes straight home to give a pity party and start ranting about how unfair it all is. And disparaging the Justice system. So what needs to happen today?

The NY judge needs to notify him he is needed back in court — today. Give him 12 hours to get his ass back to NYC. Then put the hammer down. No second chance. No fine. Just go straight to jail to think over his behavior. Then let him comeback after a few days to apologize to the judge and the court. He’d rather choke on his own vomit than do that. But make that the requirement. And change the trial to June 1st.
