Surreal to watch. This is the most alone Trump has been in a long time. He’s not flanked by aides, lawyers, body men & so on. He’s face to face with the American legal system that has caught up with him.

Following this, a tweet was posted by Griffin where she talked about how for the first time in history, Donald Trump appeared to be alone and helpless. She mentioned that, unlike other times, Trump is not protected by aides, sources, lawyers, and bodyguards this time. She noted that watching the arraignment was almost surreal.
During his arraignment this Tuesday, the presiding judge Juan Merchan also rejected a request which could exempt Trump from being present at his trials after this. Therefore, Donald Trump is forced to face the court by himself.
