If Trump had to back up his threats himself, the world would see what a whiny-butt pussy he really is.
Former President Donald Trump reportedly spent “several seconds” glaring at New York Times political reporter Maggie Haberman as he exited his criminal trial in New York City on Monday. Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Jury selection began on Monday, marking the first time a former U.S. president has stood trial on criminal charges. He has pleaded not guilty.
Haberman apparently raised the former president’s ire by reporting from inside the courthouse that he fell asleep during the lengthy proceedings. “Former President Donald J. Trump seemed alternately irritated and exhausted Monday morning,” Haberman wrote on the Times liveblog, adding, “Mr. Trump appeared to nod off a few times, his mouth going slack and his head drooping onto his chest.”
“Trump has apparently jolted back awake, noticing the notes his lawyer passed him several minutes ago,” Haberman added a few minutes later.
Law360 court reporter Frank Runyeon detailed Trump’s exit from the courtroom, “After the thirty-some jurors remaining file out of the room for a brief afternoon break, Trump rises. After the jurors leave the courtroom, he stares over at DA Alvin Bragg. Then Trump turns his eyes to the press pool. As he exits, he glares at New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman for several seconds as he walks out.”
Haberman has had a famously up-and-down relationship with Trump as access to the former president during his 2016 campaign and first term in office landed her scoop after scoop. In recent years, however, she published a very critical book about his rise to power and has been a target of the former president’s anger – including being called “Maggot Hagerman” by the GOP’s presumptive nominee for president.
