Meme of Trump’s Head Defended by NY Judge & Prosecutor: It’s Humor (Day 2, Trump Trial)

RE: NEW YORK TRIAL (DEMOCRAT DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG) v. DONALD TRUMP Case: New York v. Trump, No. 71543-23 Source: Court Reporting by Inner City Press Transcript: New York Trial v. Trump – Day 2 (April 16, 2024) [Emphasis added] Trump’s lawyer Blanche: 330’s husband’s account, it has a meme of President Trump’s head being held. Justice Merchan: There’s an image of Barrack Obama, then your client, and it says, “I don’t think this is what they meant by Orange is the new Black.” Trump’s lawyer Blanche: We’d like to ask the juror if her family – Justice Merchan: We’re not going to go this. You should have asked, if you have the goods. Prosecutor: It’s humor. It’s not a window into their soul Justice Merchan: I’m not going to allow inquire into the husband’s post from eight years ago, humor – though not very good humor — who’s next? Note: The judge criticized the defense for bringing up this meme from 8 years, but they are prosecuting Trump for something he allegedly did in 2016.
