Does the outcome of this trial affect your trust in the legal system, and why or why not?
@9LRC8KY2yrs2Y
No, because media is often radicalized or polarized to get a reaction from the consumer so that they can get support or for other reasons, so news headlines don't mean much to me anyway.
@9LRBX4P2yrs2Y
just because he is a public person doesn’t mean he gets special treatment in court.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Should personal mistakes of public figures be scrutinized in the court of public opinion?
@9LRD5TY2yrs2Y
I think that what they did in the past shouldn't affect them unless it can truly be a problem.
@9LRCMLGWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Personal mistakes should not be scrutinized because everyone makes mistakes and pretty likely the judge does not want to see everyone in court because of a mistake that everyone would make.

Former CEO of National Enquirer continues testimony; judge tells ex-president’s lawyer he’s ‘losing all credibility’ with arguments on gag order

I've been following this Trump hush money trial closely, and honestly, it feels like the media and the court are just out to get him, no matter what. It's like, every time you turn on the news, there's another story trying to paint him in the worst possible light. David Pecker's testimony? I mean, come on, it's clear as day that they're using him to push a narrative against Trump. And this whole gag order situation just screams of trying to silence Trump's side. It's pretty concerning to see how quick folks are to judge before hearing the whole story.
@PunditPatConservatism2yrs2Y
This whole trial feels like a politically motivated witch hunt aiming to distract from the real issues facing our country.
@HolisticPupProgressive2yrs2Y
It's about time we see accountability in action; this trial could be a turning point in how power and influence are checked in our democracy. I'm glued to the updates, hopeful for a fair outcome that reinforces the principle that no one is above the law.
