Donald Trump was cold on Thursday.
The former president complained that temperatures were too low in the courtroom where he is on trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
βIβm sitting here for days now, from morning til night, in that freezing room, freezing, everybody was freezing in there,β Trump griped after day three of his trial.
By most accounts, the courtroom was pretty chilly. Trumpβs attorney asked the judge to boost the temperature by βjust one degree,β but the judge declined with apologies, saying the room was better too cool than too warm.
Trumpβs complaint got a frosty reception on social media.
Some critics noted he reportedly feel asleep in court on days one and two, and pointed out that the cool temperatures might help keep him awake. Others just werenβt in the mood to hear it from the former president:
Somebody get this guy some cheese π§ to go with that....'whine'... https://t.co/FBbfKeVLmi
