The hush money trial of former US President Donald Trump took an unexpected turn on Thursday as the courtroom debate centered around the term ‘orange turd’. Stormy Daniels, the former adult film star involved in the case, referred to Trump as the ‘orange turd’ in a tweet, sparking a heated discussion during the trial.
Trump’s attorney, Susan Necheles, brought up Daniels’ tweet in which she stated that she would never give the ‘orange turd’ a dime. The defense argued that this derogatory term belittled Trump and suggested that Daniels was seeking financial gain from the case.
Initially, Daniels claimed that her tweet did not specifically mention Trump, but later clarified that she did indeed mean the former president. The courtroom drama escalated as Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC mocked Trump’s lawyers for repeatedly mentioning the term ‘orange turd’ during the proceedings.
O’Donnell highlighted the tense atmosphere in the courtroom, with Trump forced to listen to his own attorney referring to him as the ‘orange turd’. The segment on Trump’s trial drew mixed reactions, with some finding the situation humorous while others viewed it as a serious legal matter.
As the trial continues, the debate over the ‘orange turd’ tweet serves as a reminder of the contentious nature of the case and the colorful language used by both parties involved. Stay tuned for more updates on this high-profile trial.
