‘Defeated and Deflated Donald J. Trump’: MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Trump’s Remarks After First Day of Hush Money Trial

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: “All right, so this was about a request that Trump had made to skip his criminal trial, something he’s expected to be present for every single day to attend the oral arguments in the Supreme Court hearing over whether or not a president has absolute immunity. The judge said no, and so Trump came out and complained — he appeared when he first went in to be complaining about not being permitted to attend a graduation, but we want to run that down to make sure that is indeed what transpired. So, this was a pretty grievance-filled griping Trump. This wasn’t, you know, the jurors love me so much. And he looked fatigued from the day. I mean, you had the reporting, and Maggie Haberman I know saw him nod off at one point, and there’s also a vast body of reporting that he was very engaged in jury selection, but this was a pretty defeated and deflated Donald J. Trump.”
