The worst part is that they don't realize that's how a courtroom always is. They think Trump is the only one getting treated badly, when in actuality, he's been given more chances and more leeway than any regular citizen ever would. They cry about freedom of speech for Trump, yet they want the national guard to silence protesters. It's really hard not to hate these people.
