I wonder if others on the jury helped them see the light. Or maybe the nodding and smiling was sarcasm, or even intentionally trolling Trump. Fun to think about.
The thing is, you can sometimes get through to these Trump supporters if you can deprogram them from their echo-chamber… That requires very long conversations, an expose of facts, dismantling of their fallacies, and keeping them away from right-wing propaganda and peer pressure for an extended period of time.
… Which just so happens to be what jurors go through.
That’s a nice wholesome take. Reminds me of this man:
Thanks for sharing, hadn’t read this before!
Doing this right now with my in-laws who are from India and deeply Modi-fied.
If that’s what actually happened, I wonder if those things stick when he re-enters civilian life to go back to having Fox News blaring 24/7.
That’s exactly the kind of thing a New Yorker would do. “Oh, yeah, sure, I’m on your side, buddy, we got so much in common.”
Hahahaha, I very much want to believe this is what happened.
It’s my head cannon, don’t care if it’s true
I seem to recall seeing an infographic (uncertain of its provenance) indicating that one juror listed the NY Post as a frequent news source. That guy’s presence on the jury certainly had me concerned.
The infographic I saw said one juror got their news from only Truth Social and Twitter.
I live in New York. I saw the Post’s headline yesterday. “Injustice!”
There was one juror who got their news from Truth Social and Twitter so I am guessing they were not trolling.
I would tell you I got my news from God if it meant I could put a nail in Trump’s coffin ;)
One of the jurors followed Trump on truth social, it was maybe him?
Sometimes i flip on fox just to see what the monkeys are up to today.
I’m not even slightly surprised that Trump doesn’t know how jury trials work.
Brilliant move by the juror. Getting crushed is just that much worse when you have some hope.
(although I highly doubt this was a calculation by the juror and more Trump reading into something that was never there)
Surprise, motherfucker.
Some fries mother fucker?
Sunrise, motherfucker
👔👔👔👔👔👔 Motherfucker
Thick thighs mother fucker.
All rise motherfucker
Super sized mother fucker.
he did a little trolling lol
I was very surprised by this part of the article:
Trump made careful effort not to mention or criticize the jury in a press conference on Friday morning.
I guarantee they were the truth social user
If he believed that he filled a 20,000 capacity venue with 100,000 people, hell believe that he has at least 1 fanatic in the jury.
Loyalty be damned! It’s the law bitch!
Maybe that’s why it took 9 whole hours.
