Prior to closing arguments Tuesday in former president Donald Trump’s Manhattan hush money and election fraud trial, a photographer managed to capture an image of Donald with his hands partially obscuring two sticky notes on a piece of paper he had on the table where he was sitting.
Though Trump attempted to hide the messages with his hands, it was easy to determine what he’d written, HuffPost reports.
On one was written in thick black marker pen, in what appeared to be the former president’s handwriting: “This case should be dismissed by the judge but it’s totally corrupt.”
The photograph began circulating on Reddit, where it drew a ton of mockery aimed right at Trump, with many wondering why he had to write down what he was going to say during a break in the trial.
Here are some of the comments:
“No, this is neither some AI fakery nor is it photoshopped. This is pure Trump intelligence at work.”
“He had to write that down to remember to say it, after only repeating it 10 million times.”
“How is it possible that out of 340 million Americans, this dude is in contention to be the President…AGAIN?!”
“LOL at needing a handwritten note that says the ‘case should be dismissed by the judge'”.
Jury deliberations will begin today and it remains unclear how long reaching a verdict could take.
