The former US President wishes that people had more 'sorrow' for him because he's 77 and freshly convicted of felonies

Former President Donald Trump speaks a day after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony charges Donald Trump, a day after becoming the first former US president to be a convicted felon, admitted his hush money trial guilty verdict is a ‘bad thing’ and wished there was more ‘sorrow’ for him. Speaking from Trump Tower on Friday morning, Trump brought up his age, which he normally does not bring attention to. ‘He’s 77 years old. And normally I’d say that’s an old guy, but I don’t feel 77.

’ Trump suggested that his legal team told him not to testify and that he followed their advice to opt out. He said that he feared making a verbal misstep and getting prosecuted for perjury. ‘I would have loved to have testified,’ he said. ‘But you would have said something out of whack like, “It was a beautiful sunny day, and it was actually raining out.”‘ Trump complained about a ‘nasty gag order’ the judge in the case imposed on him.
