    Poor teary-eyed Hope. She knew exactly who he was when she became the Trump Whisperer. She cried on the Stand, who cares. Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.
  • @wwrk25
    He sure has made himself a "legacy". 50 years from now his name will become synomous with loser and graft.
  • "He respected his wife?" You've got to be kidding. Being worried your wife is going to find out about your extramarital affairs has nothing to do with your respect for her.
  • @denniss618
    This jury is learning all about Donnie Dump, without the years long delays to cloud their memories. Lock him up.
  • Sorry, she's no heroine in my book, only " coming forward " after she was Subpoenaed! What if she had come forward years ago, and told the truth, and showed she might have had some scruples 😒?
  • @wyskass861
    I'm constantly reminded of Giuliani on Fox news saying "Funneled through a law firm and then the president repaid it".. Who needs enemies when your own lawyers describe your crimes in public.
  • @yannip2083
    She enabled him and now shed crocodile tears for fear of jail if caught in perjury!
  • @FoOtFoOt542
    She was an enabler. There is no redemption for that in my book.
  • @Marty_Wanlass
    He is apologizing for getting caught. He never apologized for what he DID.
  • Sleepy Don can't even stay awake during a criminal trial for his own freedom, how can he be expected to lead a country.
  • Trump in court is like a homeless guy wandering around an airport terminal
  • @SpacepoetYT
    i think what he was searching for was "if you reimburse someone for buying you crack, you're just buying crack"
  • @tonyz766
    And yet Hope weeps, " sorry Mr. President," so pathetic! After all this Animal has done. Hope must have major issues!
  • @ryanwebber3705
    I disagree with the middle commentator about this helping the defense. Just because he might have covered up the facts to shield his wife, doesn’t mean he didn’t hide it from voters. If I commit a crime that I didn’t know was a crime, I’m still committing a crime. Ignorance is not an excuse for committing a crime. 😂
  • @caroleboots7591
    Hope Hicks went along for the ride , these republican woman are dispicable. She knew her boss was a criminal and was shady !

    If trump had respect for his wife , he wouldn’t be in court defending himself
  • @niclewis9610
    "We were all just following HIS lead"

    The classic defense of the guilty Co-conspirators!

    This is one of the best corporate owned networks out there, if I want news, I go overseas or Australia, or anyplace else but big media.
