The court dismissed one potential juror after Trump’s legal team had flagged their social media post last month of an AI-generated video featuring Trump saying “I’m dumb as fuck.” Trump’s lawyers sought to strike another potential juror over social media posts made or shared by her husband in 2016. In one, Trump’s head is in the hands of a character from The Simpsons. In another, Trump is pictured next to former President Barack Obama with a comment about how this is not what was meant by “Orange Is the New Black.” A third post was set in the theme of “The Avengers Unite Against Trump.” While the challenge failed, the woman was ultimately dismissed.

[Trump] tried to get his White House staff to pressure Disney, which owns ABC, to force Kimmel to stop making fun of him.

You can't make this shit up.

Every time he gets pissed at Kimmel, it makes Kimmel happy.

And Trump’s so hungry for attention he always swallows the bait.

It's peak fragility. Trump also tried to get the DOJ to investigate Saturday Night Live for being mean to him.

The classic tough guy tattle. He’s just a high-profile Karen.

Trump has also, of course, been publicly wailing about several aspects of the trial, including the “freezing” temperature in the courtroom

This is the "strongman" they are following? What a freakin' joke.

A tasty little morsel of schadenfreude.

I felt like we all needed a pick-me-up.

I'm not sure that specifically was drawn, so I took some artistic liberties (aka googled "sleeping orange").

Has no one talked about how he smells because of his adult diaper situation

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Im sure his spray tan and reportedly awful hygiene don't help matters

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago

Yes, let the rage flow through you. Actually wait, eat a few hamberders and then let the rage flow through you.

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch

[-] queue 10 points 7 months ago

He looks like the "me marrying your dad" comic face. Like a weird smug yet angry look. Handsome Jack looking motherfucker.

The same way the average Internet user rages when they're asked by their uncle when they're going to buy a house and have some kids.
