LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chris Hayes, the host of 'All In,' made an astute observation about Donald Trump's demeanor during his ongoing hush money trial in New York, "One detail stood out to 'everyone involved' that Donald Trump is 'losing his patience' on the 15th day of his trial."

Hayes humorously likened Trump's behavior to that of "a child with an iPad at a restaurant," underlining the spectacle of the former president engrossed in positive news articles about himself amidst the trial.

Chris Hayes says Trump's 'human printer' his constant companion 

Hayes noted that Trump has a designated aide known as the "human printer," who accompanies him with a portable printer to churn out favorable articles whenever needed.

This aide's presence extends even to leisurely activities like golfing, where she's spotted trailing behind Trump with stacks of ego-boosting pieces. This practice, as per Hayes, dates back to Trump's civil trial in 2023, indicating a longstanding penchant for seeking affirmation, even amid legal proceedings.

“The ex-president needs to be entertained during the less salacious portions of his trial,” Hayes added. The irony wasn't lost on Hayes that Trump's need for validation extends even to his legal defense strategy.

Trump's legal defense: seeking validation through photographic affection

“Donald Trump’s need to be mollified, validated, apparently extends to his actual legal defense,” Hayes added. Trump's attorneys reportedly presented a January 2017 New York Times article during the trial because Trump admired the photo accompanying it.

Hayes playfully remarked on Trump's fondness for his own image, finding it "sort of adorable." “Trump is enamored with how he looks in the attached picture,” he explained, “which I find sort of adorable.”

Describing the day's testimony as "dryer" compared to previous highlights like Stormy Daniels' appearance, Hayes suggested that Trump's quest for entertainment through self-affirming news might have been a response to the lack of excitement in court.



 

Jimmy Fallon's humorous take on Trump's behavior

Hayes wasn't alone in observing Trump's behavior; Jimmy Fallon also joked about it, suggesting that perhaps an iPad playing children's show 'Bluey' might be the only thing capable of keeping Trump awake in court.

He said, He said, “I read that in an effort to stop Trump from falling asleep in court, his lawyers have been giving him a number of different devices. A number of devices? So far, the only thing that can keep him awake is an iPad playing ‘Bluey.'”

Internet says Trump's ego is so fragile

In the midst of Donald Trump's hush money trial, Chris Hayes highlighted Trump's reliance on favorable news articles for solace, likening his behavior to that of "a child with an iPad at a restaurant.

One user wrote,"HE IS SICKER than we thought! And that's hard to Top! Why is he not in a MENTAL INSTITUTION?"

Another said, "Trump's ego is so fragile...what a snowflake."

One user replied, "Why hasn't a reporter brought a thermometer into the courtroom and posted the number for us?"

Another stated, "His attorneys could bring him a throw."

One user commented, "It's what narcissists do."

Another added, "Trump looks weary and demoralized."
