And through it all, Trump has been required to remain seated, not gesturing, not talking and not using his phone. He has not even been allowed to adjust the temperature a few degrees in a courtroom he described as “freezing.”

I don’t like Trump politically but I’m just not into this schadenfreude journalism. “This guy had an upsetting experience in court…ISNT THAT COOL?”
No, it’s a criminal trial. The point isn’t to get the defendant to feel bad, it is to have justice served, whichever way that goes.
If I could make the trade where Trump has his best most successful and happy life, but it’s 100% outside politics, I’d happily do it instantly. I don’t want him to suffer, I want him to fail in his political goals.
He was made to act in a quiet, respectful manner just like any other defendant. What made it upsetting for him was being required to act in a quiet, respectful manner just like any other defendant.
They’re not revelling in him being treated poorly they’re revelling in him being treated like every other defendant on the fucking planet any of which would be in prison with bond revoked for any number of dumb shit Trump has done or said.
