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.
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.
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.

It would suck. But also, you would be a part of history forever.
Some people go overseas and risk their lives in the military and lose family time as well without having as much of an impact on the world. Here, the potential to have a positive impact on society is also profound. To show that all people are equal under the law.
So, yes, it would suck. But it's still worth it as a society to require people to do this and as a juror it's better than the equivalent trial that nobody hears about for commercial fraud that takes the same amount of time.
