But Trump’s confidence didn’t stop there. He took a jab at Joe Biden‘s business sense, asking if anyone would trust Biden to run their store while they went off to New Hampshire. Trump’s charisma may win over some, but others worry about him running away with all the candy. “Don’t worry,” Trump assured. “I probably wouldn’t happen. First of all, I can’t run. Second, if I see candy, I’m gobbling it down right there.”
Meanwhile, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is making her move in New Hampshire, where she is tied with Trump in some polls. If she wants to secure the nomination, she’ll have to take down Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who finished a distant second in Iowa and is known for his clown-like appearance.
In other news, Donald Trump‘s defamation trial with E. Jean Carroll continues. Last year, a civil jury determined that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll and then lied about it. Now, they are in court again to determine how much money Trump owes her. Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, who has been called a “bad lawyer,” tried to get the trial delayed by claiming Trump had to attend his mother-in-law’s funeral. However, the judge was not persuaded and denied the application.
Trump’s behavior in court hasn’t been any better. He kept talking loudly, causing Judge Kaplan to warn him. But Trump brushed it off, saying, “I would love it if you excluded me from the trial. It would only make my poll stronger.” Trump’s disregard for the court proceedings is not surprising, as Mitt Romney noted, “I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them.”
Despite the controversies, Trump’s poll numbers continue to rise. It seems that the more he gets worse, the more his supporters love him. As the defamation trial carries on, it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that a jury already determined that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll. It’s a serious offense that should not be taken lightly.
On a lighter note, Pope Francis made headlines when he declared that sexual pleasure is a gift from God. This statement surprised many, especially those who have been raised to fear God’s judgment of their sexual behavior. But according to the Pope, enjoying sex is not only acceptable but also a blessing from the divine.
