Donald Trump Takes A Break From Campaign Trail, Reports For Jury Duty

“They have to go”, he said Sunday.

Flamboyant billionaire White House candidate Donald Trump has reported for jury duty in New York, stepping out of a sleek black limo to be mobbed by media and supporters.

As for Trump, he leads most polls, and that popularity suggests some GOP candidates are hesitant to criticize him.

But prior to professing his commitment to civic responsibility, Trump has perennially skipped out on jury summonses in the past. He took a selfie with an attorney he encountered and signed a sketch artist’s drawing as he headed back into the jury assembly room. The concern, again, I think is going to get down to that treatment of the children.

Putting in his time today would win Trump a free pass from jury duty for six years.

Michael Cohen, an executive vice president at the Trump Organization and special counsel to Trump, said the summonses had been sent to an address where the New York businessman never lived.

While inside the courthouse, another potential juror captured a picture of Trump on Snapchat.

In celebrity-studded New York Metropolis, it’s commonplace for well-known names to be picked to point out up in potential jury swimming pools. The jury duty rule there is one day, or one trial if selected.

“No leading candidate for President in the last generation of U.S. politics has been so explicit about blaming Mexico, Mexican immigrants and our recent high rates of immigration for America’s economic troubles as Trump”, Rosenberg tells me.

Reports said Trump had knocked back and avoided five previous requests to serve jury duty, so this service, despite during a busy time in his life, was long overdue. They include Madonna, Spike Lee and Woody Allen.

“He (Trump) seemed in deep thought about his campaign, He’s a nice guy, a amusing guy”.

Trump’s immigration proposal, his first formal policy plan since announcing his candidacy in June, won praise Monday from the GOP’s conservative tea partyers, some of whom favor changing the Constitution to reverse the “birthright citizenship” guaranteed to anyone born in the United States, no matter the status of their parents. “And then all of a sudden, nobody knows… the baby’s here”.

He said that families with US-born children could return quickly if deemed worthy by the government. Those people weren’t sympathetic to those illegal immigrants who lost patience and came to the country illegally.

The visitors exiting the State Supreme Court building in lower Manhattan on Monday had the same bewildered look on their faces as they emerged from the courthouse, greeted by cameras, police officers, and dozens of members of the press. “And the people that are frustrated are more ideological – frustrated that they can’t have everything they want“.
