HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — Donald Trump’s status as the Republican presidential front-runner can’t keep him from jury duty.
Trump is taking a break from the campaign trail Monday to appear for jury duty in New York City. He says he’s “looking forward to appearing.”
Trump confirmed the summons on Friday before a campaign rally in New Hampshire, home of the first presidential primary.
The New York Daily News reported in June that Trump had ignored five jury summonses since 2006. A judge fined the billionaire $250.

Since you are entitled to a jury of your peers, can I assume Berlusconi is on trial in the US?
Who needs 12 + alternates when Donnie’s around?
I will soon be able to say I have something in common with Donald Trump: We will both have been dismissed from a jury pool because of our hair.
My heart breaks at this beautiful display of civic-mindedness. Taking out time from campaigning to appear on a low life jury! Talk about service to the country.
Of course, backing out without notice five times previously, when there was no PR value in it and when it took time out from billionairing somehow taints the picture a little bit. But only liberals would be that picky and vindictive. All hail the noble mind of The Donald!
the jokes write themselves…
to the jury foreman… YOU’RE FIRED!!!
s/he’s guilty (or not guilty) because I say s/he is!!!
