Wanda Sykes Rips Trump’s Courtroom Farting
Like hundreds of thousands of other rapt viewers, comedian Wanda Sykes is getting a lot of mileage out of the Manhattan criminal trial of Donald Trump, the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records connected to his sexual relationship with adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Podcaster Ben Meiselas insisted this week that Trump, present this week in-person for the beginning of the trial, had suffered a spate of audible flatulence in the courtroom.
“I am enjoying the Trump trial, I really am,” Sykes told Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday evening. “I know they say he’s passing gas and everything, so I like that I’m watching it from home, you know? I don’t think I wanna be in that room.”
