Trump Visits Chick-fil-A as Court Rejects Delay Tactics in Hush Money Trial: A Closer Look

-Donald Trump lost a series of desperate attempts to

delay

his

trial

over

hush

money

, meaning he is now just days away from becoming the first former president to face criminal charges in

court

. But Trump apparently had enough time to stop by Chick-fil-A, earning him fawning coverage from Fox News. To learn more about this, it's time for "A Closer Look." ♪♪ In just a few days, barring unforeseen events, we will all witness the unprecedented spectacle of a former president appearing in

court

for a criminal

trial

. For now, that trial will move forward with jury selection on Monday, despite Trump's many desperate attempts to

delay

it. -For the third day in a row, a New York appeals court rejected an attempt by Donald Trump's lawyers to delay his criminal trial over

hush

money

. -The former president pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records related to a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. -His defense team is still struggling with some last-minute legal maneuvering after failing to get the trial postponed. -Former President Trump has tried no less than 10 times to delay this trial. -Trump tried to delay 10 times and failed each time.

It's like when I get caught lying to cancel an appointment at my dentist's office. "Hello. Sorry, I can't do my cleaning today. My aunt is in town." "No, she's not." "Yes she is." "What's her name?" "Uh...Stormy Daniels." Trump filed 10 motions to delay a single case. Combine that with his three other criminal trials, his civil cases, his various appeals, and he's racking up legal bills at a truly shocking rate (Donald Trump has spent), are you prepared for this figure? -- over $100 million in legal bills since 2021. -$230,000 is a huge amount of money. That's how much Donald Trump's Save America PAC spent per day on the former president's legal bills in February. -First of all, it's really funny that you have to pay all the lawyers for all your criminal trials through something called Save America.

Save America from what? You? Plus, $230,000 a day. For comparison, you can buy a pristine 1967 Chevy Corvette with original transmission and turquoise blue interior for about the same price, which is perfect because it's Joe Biden's favorite car. Biden should put that thing in front of the courthouse every day. "Hey, Donny, what did you spend your $230,000 on?" Every day Trump drops big money on lawyers, you should hear Joe Biden say the words "vroom, vroom, mother." Over the weekend, Trump held a major fundraiser with elite Wall Street donors in Palm Beach, where he raised tens of millions of dollars, some of which will likely go to his lawyers.

As we mentioned earlier this week, the event was so classy... I guarantee Trump has no idea what a pavlova is. He probably thinks that's the name of someone she dated. "Pavlova? Pavlova will be there? I thought we paid her." So that's what Trump eats when he's behind closed doors with his rich friends. But when the cameras are on and his fans are close to him, he makes a big show of enjoying fast food, like he did on Wednesday. -We are on scene right now in Atlanta. This is former President Donald Trump making a brief stop at Chick-fil-A right before we went on air with these images you're seeing. - "And that's just for me.

You can pour the smoothies into a large container and then bring me a straw." Also, what do you mean you want "some

chick

en"? You have to be more specific. It's Chick-fil-A. It's all

chick

en! That's like walking into a hotel bar and asking for "a glass of your best alcohol." Are you a covert alien? "I'd like to try some of your best chicken meat. Maybe an arm or a beak?" My favorite part of that clip, though, was the small talk Trump tried to make with the employees when he placed the order. -Yeah. Yes. -It's as if he had never spoken to normal human beings in his life.

Do you think they own Chick-fil-A? Although, if you ask me, they deserve to be rich. Certainly richer than Donald Trump. And they deserve a raise for working that shift because he sure didn't pay. "Let's make 30 shakes and a bunch of chicken, can I take a

look

at your reservation plans? I thought that was short for Chick-fil-layaway." Although, to be fair, I will say that it can be difficult to make small talk in a restaurant. I mean, take it from me. -Hello how are you? -Hello! -It's good to see you guys. In my defense! In my defense...

I wasn't planning on buying ice cream. I didn't know that was going to happen. It's not like he's sitting in the home workshop in that row. "Do you like frozen desserts?" No. Now, presidential candidates from both parties have made routine appearances at fast-food restaurants and hamburger joints. For example, and this is true, Joe Biden has been to every ice cream shop in the continental United States. You should see his customer loyalty card. And yet, you probably won't be surprised to learn that Trump's cult followers on Fox News fawned over him for having the wisdom and courage to walk into a Chick-Fil-A and buy, as he put it, "some chicken." . -I'm thinking about the fact that President Biden buys an ice cream cone.

Um, but, you know, I don't know if he buys them from everyone else. I haven't seen that part. Forward. -Martha, I don't know if the president has done this for you. The last time we interviewed him at Mar-a-Lago, he wouldn't let us go until he gave us Mar-a-Lago shakes. -What the hell is a Mar-a-Lago shake? That sounds like something Trump would try to cover up by paying a porn star to keep quiet. "Donald, why did you write a secret check for $130,000?" "Let's say my dear friend Pavlova gave me a Mar-a-Lago shake." Can you imagine what's in a milkshake at Mar-a-Lago?

If Donald Trump chooses all the ingredients, chefs must have a recipe longer than a CVS receipt. "Okay, let's see here. One quarter cup of whole milk, one scoop of chocolate ice cream, one scoop of chocolate ice cream, 10 scoops of chocolate ice cream, one gallon of vanilla ice cream, six whole bottles of chocolate syrup , including the container, Adderall, Ambien, amphetamines, ketamine, a double Whopper with cheese and fries, 45 packets of ketchup and some chicken... you choose which parts." Also, let me say that I also don't know if Joe Biden ever bought ice cream for his supporters, but I know exactly what the headline on Fox News would be if he did. "Ice Cream Socialist." But the Fox segment took a very strange turn.

You may not be surprised to learn that Fox was fawning over Trump for buying chicken, but I guarantee you he has no idea where this is going next. -The last time we interviewed him at Mar-a-Lago, he wouldn't let us leave until he gave us Mar-a-Lago shakes, which was... I mean, again, the idea that Democrats are trying to sell that Trump. "He is a horrible human being, which is Adolf Hitler, I don't know if Hitler bought milkshakes from journalists regularly or went into Chick-fil-A or Dairy Queen like that." -I'm sorry. You do not know. Didn't he do it?

I know he didn't do it. They say he's crazy all the time on Fox News, but they're not willing to risk saying with certainty that Hitler didn't buy milkshakes for journalists. , everyone knows that Hitler never went to Chick-fil-A. He'd rather get his burgers at Nein Guys! being the first person in a conversation to mention Hitler. And I'm not the only one who thinks it's strange to say. Look at the presenter's face as he talks about Hitler. Slowly crouch under his desk like this. -I don't know if Hitler bought milkshakes from journalists regularly or went into Chick-fil-A or Dairy Queen like that. -Look, Trump supporters love to present broad, sweeping arguments comparing Trump to historical figures that make no sense.

On Wednesday, Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, whom she named co-chair of the Republican National Committee, said Trump has been treated worse than not any president, but anyone in the history of the world. -If you want to

look

at a family, I'll say a man like Donald Trump who has had nothing but misinformation (and misinformation, as they like to say on the other side of the aisle) thrown at him every day. I mean, there's never been anyone in history that I don't think has required as much income as Donald Trump. -First of all, he only takes inputs because he gives outputs.

The guy has brutally attacked everyone from disabled people to Gold Star families to the institutions of American democracies to toilets that don't flush. Although, now that we've seen how many shakes he drinks, I think we know why. Secondly, anyone in the story? History? Even if we ignore, say, Abraham Lincoln, I think maybe Julius Caesar would like to talk a little. The guy was betrayed by his best friends. Can you imagine that happening to Trump? What would Trump say? "What about you, Rudy?" "Oh, I'm sorry, boss! I was carrying this knife to the table and I tripped!

I was about to cut up some of that delicious Chick-fil-A you bought us." "I didn't buy it. I said you would pay for it." But this is the state of the modern Republican Party. It is not an institution with discernible political objectives. He is simply a vessel for Trump worship. Here's Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs describing what he believes he should be the number one target of House Republicans. -I think the first job is to get President Donald... Donald Trump re-elected as president of the United States. -Yes, but what about passing laws? Can you think of anything else you can do with your time besides help Trump?

There are so many things you can fix: immigration, healthcare, child poverty, hell, maybe you can pass a law that says when you get to the counter of a fast food restaurant, you have to specify what exactly you're ordering. Sorry, I'll come back to this in a quick segment we'll call "Seth returns to something that still bothers him from before in 'A Closer Look'." There's nothing worse, nothing worse than a guy who gets up. to the cash register and he has no idea what he wants. We have all been there. It's 8:30, you're late for work. You're in line at Starbucks and the guy right in front of you grabs the counter and says, "Hmm, you guys sure have a lot of sizes." And the baristas are just sitting there looking at it, thinking, "Even if Hitler came to Starbucks, he would have his order ready." You can't just say you want "some chicken"!

Look at the menu before it's your turn to order. Here's my proposal: We put a shot clock on every counter in America with a buzzer. You have 10 seconds. If you are not done with that order, you will hear this sound. Then you have to go back to the end of the line and think about what you did wrong. You know, I'm sorry, guys, I really am. I'm sorry for this rant. It's just that "Curb" is over and I feel like there's room for crazy takes on social etiquette. This has been "Seth returns to something that still bothers him from before in 'A Closer Look'." So, barring...barring any unforeseen developments, Trump will become the first former president to face a criminal trial in just a few days.

He is also still awaiting trial for interfering in the elections, altering the vote count and stealing classified documents that he then kept in his bathroom next to the toilet where he deposits all of his... -Mar-a-Lago.
