During an appearance on CNN's"State of the Union," the New York Times' Maggie Haberman claimed that, despite all of his bravado, Donald Trump is not looking forward to being indicted in Manhattan if District Attorney Alvin Brag has enough on him for paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Just 24 hours after the former president posted on Truth Social that he will be arrested on Tuesday, CNN host Jake Tapper asked Haberman how Trump is dealing with the looming indictment reportedly coming this week.

"What can you tell us about how Trump is handling this situation?" the CNN host pressed.

And now a word of more irony from this Haberman and CNN.....this just about says everything about what is wrong with todays media.....quit treating him like some fucking baby....

"Look, Jake, he's very anxious about the prospect of being indicted for a couple of reasons," she began. "Yes, two things can be true at once: he is aware that there are reasons to believe this could help him politically, we have heard a lot about this morning already, but he does not want to face getting arrested, which is what happens when you get indicted."

1. Good.

[tinrobot]

2. He's probably too broke to make bail

[madinmaryland]

16. He'll probably have to call his daughter to make bail.

[llmart]

27. She and her criminal husband should be there also.

You can't tell me that they're innocent.

[Emile]

17. Deutsche Bank will bail him out.

[virgdem]

3. Oh cry me a river.

Who gives a flying fig how he feels. Just Maggie apparently.

[Fullduplexxx]

4. Idk why ... He's gonna walk in and walk out after processing..

[Poiuyt]

11. His mug shot should make for an interesting campaign ad.

[llmart]

28. Oh, I hope, hope, hope he makes the cover of Time with his mug shot.

He'll finally get the cover that he deserves without having to make it up himself.

[Midnight Writer]

21. Exactly. I would be surprised if there are even photos released, unless he wants them.

[Pobeka]

5. Guess who will have access to those fingerprints?

Jack Smith.

The Federal SC with a whole bunch of classified documents that Trump refused to return, and will no longer be able to claim he's never seen if his fingerprints are on the documents.

[rsdsharp]

9. Which would prove nothing. One would expect his fingerprints to be on the documents.

He had access to them when he was President. Fingerprints wouldn’t prove he touched them after he left office; only that he touched them at some point.

[Dave says]

15. Defeats the argument "he's *never* seen"

[rsdsharp]

18. There's a difference between never seen, and never seen since leaving office.

[GoCubsGo]

19. And, it's not like he didn't leave his prints all over the White House and AF1.

They could easily lift them off of door knobs, Sharpies, the Resolute Desk, his Diet Coke button, drinking glasses, ketchup bottles...

[Pobeka]

22. Ketchup bottles.

[Yonnie3]

6. I might be more anxious than TFG as I wait for it to happen n/t

[Bayard]

7. Can't wait to see him sweating orange,

Looking like Giuliani with his hair dye running down his face.

8. Maggie...go away!!!

your book, begging readers to throw Trump a little sympathy because he had a mean daddy and a cold mommy, was truly vomit worthy...

Mags..this isn't 2020..a shit-ton has happened since January 6..his army of week-end warriors are in prison or awaiting trial or otherwise occupied with harassing drag shows...if and when your guy, an amoral lying deranged sadistic malicious deviant, is held to account for the hell he rained down on this country, the people dancing in the street will far outnumber the mourning MAGA assholes by millions...

[brooklynite]

25. I don't recall anything about eliciting sympathy in her book.

Can you provide a citation?

[agingdem]

26. that's how it reads to me..

she was Trump's whisperer...he lambasted the NYT while allowing Maggie access..he spewed poison and she defined his venom...because Maggie detested the Clintons, Hillary in particular, she recasted a caustic tv persona into viable presidential candidate and downplayed his know-nothing crass bravado, confident he would grow in office..I read her book as an apologia to Trump and for Trump...

[jcgoldie]

10. Fuck Maggie Haberman

Wittle Trumpie is anxious wahhh!

[bullwinkle428]

12. Probably worried about how tiny they'll look, when the world sees them!

[lame54]

14. Like those pictures on a grain of rice

[lame54]

13. Then he should have thought of that before cheating in an election

[CanonRay]

20. Tough shit.

Hope he has to surrender his passport.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. He'll get released on his own recognizance, but may have to surrender his passport.

If he can't travel internationally, I'm sure the Scottish people will be most dismayed. Or not.

[brooklynite]

24. "quit treating him like some fucking baby"

She's not; she's reporting how he's feeling about what's going to happen.

[llmart]

29. He's a psychopath...

he doesn't have "feelings" like a normal person would. He's probably already figured out a way to bilk his followers with his fake performance to garner sympathy.

He showed us who he was when he separated babies and children from their parents and threw the kids in dog cages.

[pwb]

30. I am sure he will market his finger print card for more money from the fools who follow him..

All pukes laugh at our government and use it for themselves. I have seen people booked in in New York City. It did not look fun. Dingy and dull and tough with lots of creeps around. Hope they save some undesirables to sit next to trump eh?
