Internet jokes Donald Trump's 'busy seething' as he doesn't campaign on hush money trial day-off

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Donald Trump has been exposed for not campaigning during his court break on Wednesday, May 15 as he previously lamented how court obligations have interfered with his campaign activities.

On Thursday, May 16, Trump critic Ron Filipkowski took to X ( formerly Twitter) to address the former president's campaign absence on his day off from court as he wrote, "On Trump’s off day from court yesterday, he did no campaigning. Again."

Donald Trump accused Judge Juan Merchan of not giving him a day off from court

On Trump's first day of trial in court on April 15, he initially petitioned Judge Juan Merchan for an adjournment during his youngest son Barron Trump's graduation.

However, the judge cited the trial's time constraints and refrained from making an immediate decision at the time.

Trump, who was furious after he learned the court schedule would prevent him from missing Barron's graduation, wrote on Truth Social, "Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony."

"Something that we have been talking about for years, because a seriously Conflicted and Corrupt New York State Judge wants me in Criminal Court on a bogus 'Biden Case' which, according to virtually all Legal Scholars and Pundits, has no merit, and should NEVER have been brought," he wrote.

However, the judge later permitted Trump to skip court for his 18-year-old son's graduation.

“I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” Merchan said in the courtroom on April 30.
