Trump

Carla Sinclair, Boing Boing Donald Trump has gotten so cozy in the courtroom, he's not only snoozing — he's now reportedly raising a stink. As in having a gas. As in farting, according to MeidasTouch's Ben Meiselas via "credible sources." And it isn't pretty. "What I'm hearing from … credible sources who know what's going on in the courtroom … is that Donald Trump is actually farting in the courtroom," said Meiselas. "And that it's very stinky around him. It's a putrid odor in the courtroom," he unfortunately continued, as I am apologetically doing now. "And that Trump's lawyers are repulsed by the scent and the smell."

Daily Beast - In the New York case, the prosecutors said Thursday that they would not be providing to Trump’s legal team the names of the first three witnesses that the prosecutors would be calling to testify. Trump’s lawyers objected. Judge Juan Merchan sided with the prosecution, saying that he couldn’t fault the prosecutors for refusing to identify the witnesses, given Trump's history of criticizing and potentially intimidating witnesses. Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, promised that Trump wouldn’t post anything about the witnesses. Judge Merchan rejected the offer: “I don’t think you can make that representation.” At last, Trump’s paying a price for his antics.

Jonathan Alter, NY Times - As a kid, Donald Trump was “a brat,” according to his sister Judge Maryanne Trump Barry. He pelted rocks at other toddlers and was sent to a military academy for being disobedient.
