Trump Blurts One-Word Response In Dead Of Night After Dubious ‘Professional Sh*tposter’ Facebook Comment Goes Nuclear On Right

Former President Donald Trump jumped aboard the right’s outrage train over Judge Juan Merchan’s letter notifying the defense and prosecution of a Facebook comment claiming inside information about the trial.

On Friday, Judge Merchan — who presided over the Stormy Daniels hush money trial — sent a letter to Trump attorney Todd Blanche and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office notifying them of a recent discovery:

Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bnng to your attention. In the comment, the user, “Michael ,\nderson,” states:

“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted $ Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”

The comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, postcd on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellatc Division unrelated to this procccdrng.

The post, entitled “The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, will hear oral arguments this morning at 10,” and the comment are both viewable at https ://www. facebook.com/NewYorkCourts/.

The comment is attributed to a user named “Michael Anderson” whose profile describes himself as “a professional shit poster.”

That letter set off immediate outraged credulity among Trump allies in the media, who seized on the revelation as evidence of a jury “leak.”

On Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj interviewed guest and attorney Mehek Cooke, who told her “This needs to be a mistrial immediately. This judge is now going to be on the hook and every single person is going to be watching because we know in jury instructions you’re supposed to be very particular about the evidence that you’re talking about and that stays within the jury room.

Several hours later, in the dead of night, Trump appeared to respond to the letter with a single word blurted at two in the morning:

MISTRIAL!!!

The “shitposter” in question responded to the flap by posting a message reading “Take it easy… I’m a professional shitposter” and including a definition of the term: “Shitposts are generally intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort.”

That message has apparently been deleted.
