Criminal defendant Donald Trump walked out of his trial for election interference in New York, and again addressed the media with a repetitive rant.
But this time he created a new conspiracy theory, claiming the judge is purposely keeping the courthouse freezing to undermine him.
Trump began whining that he was stuck in a courtroom during Melania's birthday.
Hey, did you guys hear that President Joe Biden is old? It's true—a shithole site with shithole writers has a "scoop" on it.

Jamie Raskin hilariously suggested that the RNC headquarters could host the Supreme Court after wingnut justices appeared open to recognizing some form of presidential immunity yesterday. Via HuffPost:
Host Joy Reid, who noted that Trump’s federal election interference case could be remanded back to the D. C. Circuit Court of Appeals and thus further delay the trial past Election Day, called the Supreme Court majority “so clearly politicians” before looping in Raskin.
“Well, they’re politicians who are not even subject to popular election unlike me.
