    Does Trump have to be present for the whole thing? My adhd is getting triggered just thinking about sitting still for a 4 month trial. Good luck orange dude 😂

      Fuck what Trump has to do. Feel bad for the 14 ish jurors who have to sit there for 4 months getting paid less than minimum wage. I’d say it’s likely they get sequestered at some point, meaning they don’t even see their families.

        Those jurors are definitely going to need to be sequestered and will probably need protection too. The GOP is already openly supporting domestic terrorism so I don’t expect them to stop now.

        I would love to be one of the jurors. 4 months is way better than 4 more years of Trump.

        I hope for their sakes that they are, the names and addresses have already been circulating social media according to an article I read last month.

        Being jurors on this case would suck. That being said, not shitty employers often pay your full salary for jury duty. And some states require employers to pay too.

      Does Trump have to be present for the whole thing?

      That depends on whether the judge orders an appearance. The lawyers for Trump must be present the whole time, but Trump does not necessarily have to be there unless ordered to by the judge.

      My adhd is getting triggered just thinking about sitting still for a 4 month trial.

      It seriously sounds awful… couldn’t happen to a better person.

        Oh I love this nuclear option. If Trump won’t shut up on social media the judge will just tell him he has to be present the whole time. Lol.
