“An outright rejection”

Hi everyone happy Wednesday it's four o'clock in New York Donald Donald Trump is many, many, many, many things, right?

A disgrace twice at peach, four times indicted ex-president

who's never met a conspiracy theory he didn't love,

who wishes nothing more than to become a card-carrying member of the

autocrats club. But this week? This week and for the coming weeks he's just

another one of America's 400,000 or so criminal defendants.

In the trial of the people of the state of New York versus Donald J. Trump,

the ex-president faces a dynamic in which he has virtually no control.

He's subject to the rules of the courtroom and to orders from Judge Wamershahn.

As Politico puts it, quote, could he attend his son Barron's high school graduation on May

17th? I'll get back to you, Rashan said. May he skip the trial on April 25th

to attend Supreme Court arguments about whether he's immune from Special Counsel Jack Smith's

charges for trying to subvert the 2020 election.

Can he be exempted from any proceedings that arise on Wednesdays?

And Rishon's court is typically dark so he can campaign.

Not if the jury's in, the judge told him.

Now to make matters worse for Donald Trump, he has to listen to jurors express their unvarnished

He has to hear about their memes mocking him.
