As Donald Trump is facing his first criminal trial — and in fact, the first criminal trial against any president ever — his supporters are going crazy. That includes Fox News.
And while Fox may have dismissed their former clown shoe host Tucker Carlson, they do still have Jesse Watters. As an insomniac, I often take a walk outside in the middle of the night, and my 94-year-old neighbor Ruth has Fox News on her television.
Almost invariably, I can hear the strains of Jesse’s voice coming through her window at 4 AM.
But they’re pretty fired up with the trial, and Jesse is no exception.
Yesterday, Watters told the world how badly he felt for the former president, having to sit in court for the trial. He literally said that Trump was like a puppy: “It’s really cruel and unusual punishment to make a man do that. He needs sunlight. And he needs activity. He needs to be walking around. He needs action.”
Okay, so he didn’t compare him to a dog. But he might as well have.
But while we’re at it, let’s compare Jesse to one as well — a lapdog. “Cruel and unusual punishment,” Jesse? Are you kidding?
My goodness, how could a court possibly hold a man accountable for falsifying his finances in order to cover up his extramarital affairs just in time for the 2016 election?
And it’s not like Trump didn’t CHOOSE to be in court for his last two civil trials. He likes the microphone. Heck, he used it yesterday [1] to make a lengthy speech before court.
Jesse’s just mad that this trial is actually one that could cost his hero more than money.
AND, it’s not like Trump didn’t do this to himself. He’s in court for committing a CRIME. He has to sit there because people alleged to have committed a crime have to go to court.
I’m really sorry that you’re so sad about your cult leader, Mr. Watters. But maybe save the crocodile tears for after he’s convicted.
Watters: Trump needs exercise. He’s usually golfing and you’re going to put a man who’s almost 80 sitting in a room like this on his butt for all that time? It’s not healthy. He needs sunlight. He needs activity. It’s really cruel and unusual punishment pic.twitter.com/xT1RKZyIgc [2]
