Keyboard Warrior Trump Became A Complete Coward When He Had To Face Judge - Farron Balanced



Donald Trump loves to talk a big game from behind a keyboard, but last Tuesday when he had to face Judge Merchan in person, he only uttered 6 words, and none of them were an attack on the judge. Before and after the arraignment, however, Trump attacked the judge, his family, and the prosecutors. But he just couldn't bring himself to say anything to their faces when he had the chance, which only proves that he's a complete and total coward. Farron Cousins discusses this issue.


===============

*This transcript was auto-generated. Please excuse any typos.

When Donald Trump went into the courtroom last Tuesday, even though he had spent the evening and mourning before going into the arraignment, attacking the judge, attacking the prosecutors, just ranting and raving like a mad man on true social. He walked into that courtroom a different person. He was somber, he was tightlipped. He said maybe 10 words that included, yes, I do, thank you, not guilty. And then one or two other words. That's it. That's all. He spoke. During that 45 minute hearing, he was given opportunities. And then immediately upon leaving the courtroom, he flies back down to Mar-a-Lago. He holds his stupid little hate rally. He attacks the judge, the judge's family. The judge's daughter. He attacks the prosecutor, attacks everybody he can. And he's been doing that ever since. He got back to Mar-a-Lago. He's been doing it in interviews. He's been doing it on true social. He is talking a big game saying, by God, these people are, are maniacs and lunatics and perverts, and it's a kangaroo court.

But he wouldn't say a single word of that. When he had to look that judge in the eye, you wanted an opportunity to call this judge out and you had your opportunity. But like every other coward, every other bully in history, when you are face-to-face with somebody, suddenly all that courage that you have from behind a keyboard disappeared. You became a frightened and scared little baby because you didn't want to be held accountable for your words, cuz you don't have the scrotum to actually look somebody in the eye and say the horrible things to their face that you would say about them on social media. Donald Trump is the classic example of a keyboard warrior, internet troll. That's all he is. That's all he does. That's the only thing this man knows how to do because again, he had the opportunity you wanted to call out that judge for, for the political connections. You know, the the $15 he gave to Biden, you could have done it right then. You didn't because you were afraid and because you do not have the fortitude to look somebody in the eye and tell them the same kinds of horrible things that you want to say about them on social media. And by the way, this did not go unnoticed by Republicans. Let me read this. Uh, Jennifer Horn, a former chair of the New Hampshire Republican Party, said, when it comes to real life, Trump is a coward. His arrogance in bravado

Disappear when his MAGA audience isn't there. Mike Murphy, a former top G O P consultant, who's worked on a number of presidential campaigns, said Trump in reality possesses little of the strength. He boast of Trump's private game is always different than the public show he puts on for his voters who he considers Rubes. Then you had Rick Tyler who worked on Texas Senator Ted Cruz's 2016 run for the G O P nomination who said outside of the courtroom, Trump is the casting director, screenwriter, set designer in the main actor in his real life reality game show inside the courtroom. He's a criminal defendant. All the bravado, all the bluster, all of the courage disappears when Donald Trump is face to face with these people who hold his fate in their hands. He is scared. It doesn't matter what he says on true so well, it matters what he says on true social because it's causing death threats. And he should be, you know, put under a gag order. But in his personal life, it doesn't matter what he says on social media because that is not who he is. He wants people to think it's who he is. It's this image that he is spent decades trying to craft. But when it comes time to actually call these people out to their face, right, make your stand bud. He can't do it cuz he's a pathetic, wimpy, coward.
