I'd think Trump lawyers would want jurors that think Trump is dumb. I mean, isn't his defense 'I was too dumb to realize I was committing a crime?'

Judge Merchan is reading Trump memes reposted by prospective jurors into the record and periodically apologizing for any offense given. The latest: "Trump invites the Thai boys to the White House, and the boys request to return to their cave."

Had to be dismissed for cause. It would be unfair to the prosecution to seat this potential juror. "I'm dumb as fuck" is essentially Trump's defense & might negate the mens rea element.

I feel confident that I would be able to rely solely on the facts of the case and instructions from the judge to come to a fair and impartial decision. I'm also sure the defense would drop kick my ass before I even sat down for questions.
