The former presidentā€™s anger during the first week of his New York hush money trial was ā€œmaxed out, even for him,ā€ a source tellsĀ Rolling Stone

Donald Trump, if you take it from him, is cherishing the opportunity to stand trial on criminal charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. ā€œIā€™m very proud to be here,ā€ he told reporters before heading into court on Monday, calling the proceedings anĀ ā€œassault on Americaā€Ā that his presence, presumably, would serve to expose. ā€œIā€™m very honored to be here,ā€ the former president added.

Trump hasnā€™t been taking to martyrdom very well behind the scenes, though, three sources with knowledge of the matter tellĀ Rolling Stone. He has privately raged over everything from reports that heĀ canā€™t stop dozing off, to how the courtĀ sketchĀ artist is rendering him, to late-night talk show hosts joking about his legal troubles. The former president is reaching levels of fury over the judicial process and all it entails that are ā€œmaxed out, even for him,ā€ says one source who has had to personally endure Trumpā€™s recent rantings about his trial.

    Its Democrats resorting to this kind of gossip tabloid news to get their fix that will be their own downfall. Even Hillary had the insight to say that when they go low, we go high.

    Youā€™ve got plenty of legitimate things to complain about and investigate. Be careful promoting this type of stuff is all I have to say, or at least donā€™t complain when it backfires and he uses it to get a new trial.
