Does Trump have to be present for the whole thing? My adhd is getting triggered just thinking about sitting still for a 4 month trial. Good luck orange dude 😂
Fuck what Trump has to do. Feel bad for the 14 ish jurors who have to sit there for 4 months getting paid less than minimum wage. I'd say it's likely they get sequestered at some point, meaning they don't even see their families.
Those jurors are definitely going to need to be sequestered and will probably need protection too. The GOP is already openly supporting domestic terrorism so I don't expect them to stop now.
I would love to be one of the jurors. 4 months is way better than 4 more years of Trump.
Being jurors on this case would suck. That being said, not shitty employers often pay your full salary for jury duty. And some states require employers to pay too.
I hope for their sakes that they are, the names and addresses have already been circulating social media according to an article I read last month.
It would suck. But also, you would be a part of history forever.
Some people go overseas and risk their lives in the military and lose family time as well without having as much of an impact on the world. Here, the potential to have a positive impact on society is also profound. To show that all people are equal under the law.
So, yes, it would suck. But it's still worth it as a society to require people to do this and as a juror it's better than the equivalent trial that nobody hears about for commercial fraud that takes the same amount of time.

That depends on whether the judge orders an appearance. The lawyers for Trump must be present the whole time, but Trump does not necessarily have to be there unless ordered to by the judge.

It seriously sounds awful... couldn't happen to a better person.
I wonder if the lawyers expect to be paid
Being infamous sells books. They'll come out on top in the end, just not by his tiny grifting hand.
Oh I love this nuclear option. If Trump won't shut up on social media the judge will just tell him he has to be present the whole time. Lol.
