The court dismissed one potential juror after Trump’s legal team had flagged their social media post last month of an AI-generated video featuring Trump saying “I’m dumb as fuck.” Trump’s lawyers sought to strike another potential juror over social media posts made or shared by her husband in 2016. In one, Trump’s head is in the hands of a character from The Simpsons. In another, Trump is pictured next to former President Barack Obama with a comment about how this is not what was meant by “Orange Is the New Black.” A third post was set in the theme of “The Avengers Unite Against Trump.” While the challenge failed, the woman was ultimately dismissed.

    [Trump] tried to get his White House staff to pressure Disney, which owns ABC, to force Kimmel to stop making fun of him.

    You can’t make this shit up.

        And Trump’s so hungry for attention he always swallows the bait.

      It’s peak fragility. Trump also tried to get the DOJ to investigate Saturday Night Live for being mean to him.
