It seems the legal troubles of former President Donald Trump is only one aspect of his discomforts. In the New York courthouse where he’s currently facing criminal charges related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, Trump complained about the courtroom being too cold for his preference. A sentiment quite familiar to women around the globe, it seems cold corporate environments aren’t exclusive to office spaces.
The judge in charge, Juan Merchan, proved more sympathetic towards Trump’s chill factor than his courtroom peers, acknowledging that the room was indeed cold. But on the balancing act of maintaining indoor temperatures, the judge leaned towards mitigating clamminess rather than coldness. The HVAC system’s overreaction to incremental adjustments left the occupants with a tricky temperature conundrum.
However, Trump may find respite in his future hearings. Kyle Cheney reports that Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing the former President’s January 6th case, prefers a warmer courtroom environment. A Jamaican native, Chutkan confessed to prospective jurors in a previous trial that she’s a “tropical person” and doesn’t understand why fellow judges lean towards frigid temps.
While Trump may prefer a more balmy courtroom, it may be worth considering that the cool temperatures could potentially keep Sleepy Don from reappearing at unwanted times. It seems the ‘freezing’ temperatures might indeed be a gift in disguise for Trump.
