And it has hit him hard:
After playing a clip of Trump addressing the media in which he complained about Judge Juan Merchan denying his request to attend his son’s graduation, “he’s really angry and he’s realizing that he’s going to now have to sit there every day.”--Suzanne Craig, NYT.
Merchan also denied Trump's request to be absent to attend Supreme Court arguments on his immunity claim. "He is required to be here, he is not required to be at the Supreme Court." Merchan also told Trump that if he is not in court a warrant will be issued for his arrest and he will be jailed. Those are the rules for any criminal defendant in America. For the first time, Trump is experiencing personally what that means.
“pretty defeated and deflated Donald J. Trump. This is the rare arena in which Donald Trump is not in charge of his own fate. He’s not in charge of his schedule. He’s not in charge of when he gets to eat. He’s not in charge of when he gets to go. He’s not in charge of when it gets to come. The schedule is set by the judge. The rules are set by the judge, and he is in some ways, like any other criminal defendant in these windows of time.”--Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC.
That's good reporting. This IS different. In all the ways Wallace mentions.
