Does tRump need to appear Monday in NY for Jury Selection Phase?

[FarPoint]

I know he may appear for photo op and his victimization speeches as he always presents....But, is he required to show up Monday?

Jury selection may indeed be the first of many outbursts and drama moments by 45...and for this trial.

[montanacowboy]

1. yes

jury selection is part of the trial I believe

[FarPoint]

4. I just know there will drama games evoked by tRump...

tRump will claim sickness, bomb treats/ interference stuff....he could fire his lawyer????

[Irish_Dem]

6. He could do some sort of fake drama.

And then claim the jury is biased by whatever it is he did.

Just like he drums up publicity and then claims the trial has to be cancelled or moved
because of all the publicity.

[FarPoint]

8. Absolutely....

He smells the opportunity....I expect it and much more...

[jimfields33]

9. He can't say biased jury when he can get his favorable members on the jury too.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Of course, he will only accuse those he doesn't like as biased.

The rest are perfect.

[jimfields33]

16. Of course. He only needs one. Ugh.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yep.

[Septua]

30. I heard a lawyer on MSNBC...

..say those were some 11th hour tactics he could attempt. Here's some discussion.

[getagrip_already]

2. Yes, unless specifically excused, he must be present every day

And no motions to let him skip days have been made.

[FarPoint]

3. Good....

Overall....him being present will be an aggravation for him....Makes me smile....I sense his "showboating and disruptive behavior" will get old quick....

[jimfields33]

11. We will only know by articles. No cameras.

[FarPoint]

17. Ohhh crap....

I was thinking cameras were going to be accepted....Darn it.

[jimfields33]

19. I think majority are disappointed in this

[bluestarone]

5. Gonna be real interesting how the judge keeps order in the court

The BLABBERING asshole is gonna BLABBER again.

[FarPoint]

7. The Judge needs to start off with clear boundaries to maintain control...

if you give him an inch he runs with it...tRump. Tantrum behavior 101.

[bluestarone]

10. AGREE! That's what i mean.

Hope the judge sets boundaries the first day!!

[FarPoint]

15. YES...

This is essential for this Judge...

[Irish_Dem]

12. I highly recommend the judge use operant conditioning: a spray water bottle.

Every time Trump acts out he gets squirted with water.

[Ocelot II]

21. Or a cattle prod.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Yep you can really crank up behavior mod that way.

[gopiscrap]

26. or a tranq dart

[Irish_Dem]

29. Damn that is good.

[Emile]

22. That would wash away all his Maybelline makeup.

[Irish_Dem]

24. Busted. That was my plan. Wash away his make up and flatten his hair.

Behavior mod can be quite effective.

[FarPoint]

28. Hahahaha

Yes....it does seem appropriate in all honesty...

[niyad]

31. dilute vinegar works.

[Irish_Dem]

34. Vinegar would work better to melt his makeup and hair spray.

Would also cut down on his bad odor.

Yah water is way too tame for Trump.

[Ping Tung]

14. He's going to build a wall of lawyers around him and make Mexico pay for it.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

18. LOL.

Now that is some funny shit right there.

[Emile]

20. It's a criminal trial, so yes he better show up!

[a kennedy]

27. Seriously how are they gonna know a juror is not a damn MAGA.....they'll lie won't they??

[niyad]

32. There is an entire science devoted to jury selection.

[bdamomma]

33. That POS

orange thug does his rallies from his trials.
