New Yorkers who said they couldn’t approach the case fairly were excused during jury selection. But one of the women with the harshest assessments of him will be among those who will determine his fate on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

“I don’t like his persona, how he presents himself in public,” said the woman, who has lived in upper Manhattan for the last 15 years. The woman said she didn’t agree with some of Trump’s politics, which she called “outrageous.”

“He just seems very selfish and self-serving, so I don’t really appreciate that in any public servant,” she said, adding that while she doesn’t “know him as a person,” how he “portrays himself in public, it just seems to me it is not my cup of tea.”

Trump’s legal team took issue with her responses, but they were out of challenges by the time she was up for consideration.

    Trump has spent his entire life in an insulated bubble of yesmen who take his literal shit and praise it as the greatest of perfume, because they wanted his money.

    Since his election, He has been exposed, perhaps for the first time in his history, to the unfiltered view that most of the world has for him… Especially after his response to covid, his insurrection, and his post-presidency constant temper-tantruming… and I’m convinced he does not know how to handle it, that its probably causing him severe mental decline due to his extreme obsessiveness over what people think him now that his insulating bubble has long since popped.

    Hes basically the child in all those entitled parent stories you hear where the parents let their kid do whatever they want and never tell them no.
