Trump Mocked For Struggling With 'Emotional Support Paper' In Courthouse Rant
Donald Trump often emerges from court with a stack of papers to read from in front of the waiting cameras, but he ran into some problems with one of them Tuesday.
Trump was trying to cite an editorial by National Review columnist Andrew McCarthy slamming Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the criminal trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
But Trump ― who often mocks Biden’s speech flubs, saying he “can’t put two sentences together” ― ran into some problems as he read aloud.
President Joe Biden’s campaign team was standing by to call him out for struggling with what they called his “emotional support paper.”

He is definitely doddering. And that Todd Blanche life-sized cardboard cutout looks almost real.
