Perennially obsessed with television ratings, President Donald Trump is furious his lawyers in the Senate impeachment trial have to defend him on Saturday, when America’s less likely to tune in to the circus.
“After having been treated unbelievably unfairly in the House, and then having to endure hour after hour of lies, fraud & deception by Shifty Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer & their crew, looks like my lawyers will be forced to start on Saturday, which is called Death Valley in T.V.,” he complained via Twitter on Friday morning.
As a former reality TV magnate, Trump knows that Saturday is considered to be the “graveyard slot” in the entertainment world.
He went on to claim for the umpteenth time that he “did nothing wrong” and that “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer never had what it takes” to convince Republicans to vote for witnesses in the trial.
And to anyone who might say his reactions to the impeachment proceedings have been volatile or unhinged, Trump insisted that it’s really the Democrats who are the “deranged” ones.
More than anything else, the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, like AOC, Omar, Cryin’ Chuck, Nervous Nancy & Shifty Schiff, are angry & “deranged” over the fact that Republicans are up to 191 Federal Judges & Two Great New Supreme Court Justices. Don’t blame me, blame Obama!

Maybe he has a point. Afterall, trump gets almost no attention from the news media. It is like he has disappeared.
Just fucking resign you god damned traitor. Your waste of carbon lawyers don’t “have” to defend you at all. The derelict of duty Senate is letting you skate in any event. and there’s no excuse for any of you Russianlovers.
He should be happy nobody will tune in to see the shit show “defense”
Or he’s pissed it interferes with golf
Just STFU you crying whining little baby. Just a reminder that this is all your doing and what a pity some of this will be on Saturday with your clowns.
McConnell knows what he is doing, if he had Trump’s lawyers on Prime Time, the republicans would get destroyed. McConnell could have had his lawyers on at any time, but has chosen to do much of the work late into the night.
