Trump in 'horrible mood' as hush money trial leaves him too 'livid' to fundraise: reporter
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump has been on trial for only two weeks but one reporter says that it's put him in such a sour state that it's hurting his ability to fundraise. "He's in a horrible mood and it's hard for him to sort of do donor events afterwards or talk strategy after the sessions in court because he's just so livid," said Washington Post investigative reporter Carol Leonnig during an appearance on MSNBC's "The Eleventh Hour" with Stephanie Ruhle. Leonnig pointed to a story from her WaPo colleagues describing effects of being stuck in a stuffy court as being "disruptive to his campaign" and that his mood is intensely worsening, according top sources. That's why it's been so striking for the 45th president to sit and try to stay awake in a frigid courtroom where Leonnig notes "he cannot speak or he's not supposed to speak."
