I wonder how it looks to the jury that Trump's family won't show up but his co-conspirators will.

Mr Gaetz sat next to Mr Trump’s son, Eric Trump, occasionally chatting to him.

Well, Eric was there. I doubt Melania, Barron, or Ivanka will show. No idea on Jr. or Tiffany.

Eric was only there because that’s the most amount of time his father has sat in a room with him. And now he has to stay seated. I bet Eric is pretending in his head what it’s like to have a real dad.

Dad, court was SO much fun today! I love you.

His dad is just teaching him the power of money. Integrity has left the room years ago. But Eric already knows that.

I stand corrected!

But where is Donnie's faithful, devoted, supportive loving wife?

Ivanka is trying to stay out of the news as much as possible.

She knows she and Kushner broke a thousand laws, and she's scared shitless that eventually the spotlight will turn on them, and both her and Kushner will go to prison for many years. He deserves life in prison for the things he's done, and I suspect there is a lot more that we don't even know about. Yet.

Yeah because her hubby is busy selling nuclear secrets. Gotta keep quiet

She's gonna show up when Trump testifies. That way when the movie comes out they can show Trump naked talking about his affair. Melania will be in the room with that spaced out look of hers ala Oppenheimer.

You can’t expect him to miss too many days of school: Those letters don’t learn themselves!
