In recent days, former President Donald Trump has been attending court proceedings in New York for his criminal trial regarding hush money payments. During this time, potential jurors have openly shared their opinions of him. Trump, now a defendant in a criminal case, must adhere to strict courtroom regulations, relinquishing control over his speech and even room temperature. While occasionally encountering protesters, Trump has largely been shielded from criticism since leaving the White House. He currently resides at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where he is surrounded by supportive staff and members who pay substantial fees for proximity to him.
