Donald Trump’s anger reached new heights behind the scenes during the first week of his New York hush money trial.

The former president’s anger during the first week of his New York hush money trial was “maxed out, even for him,” a source tells 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. “I’m very proud to be here,” he told reporters before heading into court on Monday, calling the proceedings an “assault on America” that his presence, presumably, would serve to expose. “I’m very honored to be here,” the former president added.

Trump hasn’t been taking to martyrdom very well behind the scenes, though, three sources with knowledge of the matter tell Rolling Stone. He has privately raged over everything from reports that he can’t stop dozing off, to how the court sketch 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 “maxed out, even for him,” says one source who has had to personally endure Trump’s recent rantings about his trial.

    So how long before we hear about New York courtroom random sketch artists getting death threats?

    If I understood anything about the MAGA people is that they are fast at getting angry but slow at understanding what they should be angry about…

        Back after the pussy grabber tape came out, a MAGoo woman went on the TV show The View to defend Donnie. One of the panelists kept saying ‘pussy’ over and over. Finally the MAGoo snapped and demanded that the other woman stop using that offensive term.

        They don’t blame God for sending the earthquake, they get mad at the builder for not making their house stronger.

          Don’t know if the panelist that kept saying ‘pussy’ was deliberately baiting her into revealing her hypocrisy, but if they were then fucking bravo.
