The former presidentā€™s anger during the first week of his New York hush money trial was ā€œmaxed out, even for him,ā€ a source tellsĀ Rolling Stone

Donald Trump, if you take it from him, is cherishing the opportunity to stand trial on criminal charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. ā€œIā€™m very proud to be here,ā€ he told reporters before heading into court on Monday, calling the proceedings anĀ ā€œassault on Americaā€Ā that his presence, presumably, would serve to expose. ā€œIā€™m very honored to be here,ā€ the former president added.

Trump hasnā€™t been taking to martyrdom very well behind the scenes, though, three sources with knowledge of the matter tellĀ Rolling Stone. He has privately raged over everything from reports that heĀ canā€™t stop dozing off, to how the courtĀ sketchĀ artist is rendering him, to late-night talk show hosts joking about his legal troubles. The former president is reaching levels of fury over the judicial process and all it entails that are ā€œmaxed out, even for him,ā€ says one source who has had to personally endure Trumpā€™s recent rantings about his trial.

    I wish we could just fire him into the sun. The world is sick of hearing about his diaper-clad ass.

      I would rather they grind him down with trials and punish him so that others think twice before following in his steps.

            Damn straight one can, but firing him into the sun is a far more realistic dream than thinking Trump will be made an example of anything but how to get away with every political crime known to man.

            I like the way you think though.
