Chris Hayes Checks On Trump's 'Fragile Ego' After Hearing 'Mean Tweets' About Himself
HuffPost
The former president was forced to hear about being called "dumb as f**k," among other things, in posts shared by prospective jurors.
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes laid out some of the “mean tweets” former President Donald Trump was forced to hear about himself in court on Tuesday.
On day two of jury selection for Trump’s hush money trial, potential jurors’ past social media posts about the former president were read out in court as prosecutors and defense attorneys debated potential bias.
That meant the notoriously thin-skinned presumptive GOP nominee was forced to sit and hear unkind things about himself, including one meme calling him “dumb as fuck,” and another that said, “This isn’t what we meant when we said Orange is the New Black,” with pictures of Trump and former President Barack Obama.
On Wednesday, Hayes said the episode resembled a “late night Jimmy Kimmel ‘mean tweets’ skit.”
“That’s what Donald Trump had to sit through yesterday,” he said. “This is a person whose entire life, in some ways, revolves around a sick and destructive desire for praise, as well as revenge against those who dare to say anything negative about him.”
