Probably for the best. Last time he was on the stand the judge threatened to kick him off if he mentioned Biden or Democrats or Deep State any more because none of that has been entered into evidence and you can't just say anything you want on the stand.
I don't even understand why he did it when there were no cameras on him. He wasn't even performing for his audience. I guess he really is that demented.
Because this isn't an act. This really is who he is. He's not showing off for the cameras, it's not calculated to get attention. He is exactly one layer deep. This is it. This is who he is. An old, fat, spoiled child that has never been told "no" in any meaningful way and has been surrounded by yesmen and sycophants his entire life. He behaves like this around cameras, he behaves like this in a one on one meeting.
One of the freakiest things I ever saw was a Trump family photo. Donnie, Melania, and five [?] year old Baron. Besides the gold wallpaper, the thing that amazed me was that they had Baron wearign a little business suit and sitting in a toy limo. Because who wants their kid to dream of being a jet pilot or a space man? Make sure he's programmed from Day One to be a clone.
Wasn't Barron riding a fake lion and the toy limo was just that, a small toy limousine. The hot trash interior design is on another level. The portrait is talked about in snopes https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/family-photograph-of-melania-barron-and-donald-trump/
The most telling part about that "family portrait" was how distant everyone was from each other. Poor kid is on the other side of the room, ffs.
The fact that SO MANY still don't realize this is truly baffling. The only explanation I can come up with is they are also adult children themselves, and thusly do not even know what maturity looks like.
One of the most depressing parts of getting older is seeing how many of your peers just stop mentally developing at some point -- middle age people for which highschool never ended.
Most of his cult loves him because of this. They love that he's mean, and a bully, and selfish. He acts like they want to but can't. They'd have repercussions and consequences, he doesn't. They get to see a guy behave like they dream about behaving and get away with it. They know exactly who he is, they aren't being fooled, he's not conning them. He's a hero to them because he holds up to the ideals they truly believe in. They totally realize who and what he is. They worship him because of it, not in spite of it.
Don’t forget that he’s demented. And a sociopath.
Oh, and a fraud.
Ah, yes, and a rapist.
So very. Much best.
there may be a little slurping and grunting in some of his 'one on one' meetings.
Grab them by the MAGA.
I think the assumption that it will get out and be discussed is being proven right here, cameras or not his mouth is a megaphone
I guess, but not really at a significant level. Not compared to his press conferences outside the courtroom.
