After the jury found Donald Trump guilty on thirty-four felony charges, Trump lumbered up to reporters outside the courtroom and tried to give a response. The trouble for him is that there isn’t much left of him.

Trump’s people posted a minute and a half long video of him speaking. It was clearly an attempt at finding the “best” portion of Trump’s statement. But even that was embarrassing. Trump just kept mumbling words like “rigged” and “disgrace” in no particular order, like a wind-up doll on his last few ticks before tipping over.

Trump was clearly attempting to come off as defiant. Instead he came off as deflated, dejected, and confused. The guy has no life left in him at all. His people will surely try to put defiant words in his mouth on his social media site. But in reality there’s just about nothing left of this guy.
