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.
