How Thoughtful of Him!
No, no, it’s real. Trump’s lawyer says he really wants to come to his trial – it’s a civil case so he’s not required to attend unless he’s subpoenaed – but, you know … it’s a hassle.
Former President Donald J. Trump wants to come to a Manhattan trial over allegations he raped a woman nearly 30 years ago, but he may stay away to spare New Yorkers the traffic jams, blocked streets and high security that would inevitably accompany him, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
To make his point about the hassle, Trump cited the ungodly mess when he was arraigned. But, when you think about it that’s Trump’s current profession – making an ungodly mess. I mean, he’s experienced at it and does it quite well.
Here’s the guy waddling all over the country making messes including his speaking to the NRA, attending the Ultimate Fighting Championship, his rallies, a deposition he gave at the New York attorney general’s office, oh damn, the messes he makes. He adores making messes so who does he think he’s fooling?
DJT needs somebody to build a giant litterbot for his use [like those cat litter robot thingies on TV].
1Just imagine His Messjestry walking into it to do his business. Have to be a big one though.
On the bright side, seeing/hearing a tad less of him in the news is certainly something I fully welcome!
2He knows that the vast majority of New Yorkers just HATE him and he isn’t welcome anywhere in the city and his ego can’t deal with that.
3Here’s a headline I’d rather see:
Trump Says He’ll Skip 2024 Election To Spare America From Hassels
4A federal judge basically told trumpf and his attorneys to pound sand. The civil case will go on and he can appear or not. The article I read didn’t specify if they were trying to get the suit dismissed but otherwise it makes no sense why they appealed to a judge. Gosh donnie, think of all the publicity you’ll miss if you stay in mar-a-lala-go-land with your hidden classified docs and the mrs.

He doesn’t want any court picture of him with Carroll – after all, he only rapes beautiful young women!
7The Sultan of Spraytan asked the judge to instruct the jury that His Orangeness’ absence was because he didn’t want to inconvenience a bunch of people with all the security that would be there, etc., etc… to which the judge replied with words to the effect of “we can handle the security and you’re free to come or not, but I ain’t telling the jury that your empty chair is the result of your kind consideration for everyone’s fee fees and so they should think purty thoughts”
8The idea that Orange Capone would care about anyone not named Donald John Trump is ludicrous beyond belief.
9Lol this is a new one!
Next he’ll try the tried and true excuse ‘My dog ate my homework.’ or the Bart Simpson excuse, ‘I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it!’
As much as malignant narcissist craves the limelight, he’s also a much bigger COWARD.
10Loser tRump will do anything to avoid accountability.
Benghazi! Obama’s birth cirtificate! You can’t make me do it, I’ll sue you … Wahhhhhh
For sheer “brightness”, this bit he is now claiming belongs down with the insistence that this Presidential inauguration had the biggest crowds in history.
11……….. although he IS addicted to the spotlight . Ooops sorry, the spotlight will be on Ms Carroll …………
12Not about the main topic, but thanks mollusk. “Sultan of Spraytan gets added to my growing list of over 160 such names for the Bloated Cheeto.
lex: I vaguely recall Bart had a long fast string of them: I didn’t do it, I wasn’t there, it was an accident, you can’t prove anything, nobody saw me do it, etc. But maybe that’s just me remembering trying to explain to my wife why the car has a dent in it.
13Thanks The Surly Professor for the memory update! Lol and hope your wife never watched the Simpsons!
14Trump wants the jury told that he really, really wanted to testify but he’s afraid of causing a traffic jam. The judge rejected that one, too. Meanwhile he’s scheduled to make a speech in New Hampshire on Thursday.
The names of the jurors are being kept secret to spare them death threats.
