The View’s Sunny Hostin recently dropped her analysis of former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial on Friday after being in the Manhattan courtroom this week. She had lots of thoughts about the former president’s color via Mediaite.
It has been noted that Hostin began her report by labeling Trump’s skin as “burnt sienna” after co-host Joy Behar asked about his “shade.”
“It’s a burnt sienna. I have never seen him in person. I didn’t realize he was that orange… It’s almost like a radioactive orange, and it’s very shocking to see in person because he’s a tall person and he’s also a little thinner now,” Hostin, a lawyer, said.
Hostin stated that Trump was unlike any defendant she’d seen and claimed that he was “fist bumping” with lawyers and “took a little nap.”
She has described the jury as one of the most “engaged” she’s ever seen and described the jury pool as “female skewed” with more women than men.
“I think that cases are won and lost with jury selection. There are several lawyers on the jury. That was striking to me. It’s a very diverse jury,” she said. “There are many more women on the jury than there are men, even including the alternates. I mean, I couldn’t tell which ones were the alternates but there are 18 people and the majority of them are women, so that was kind of interesting to me because if people drop out it’s a pretty female skewed jury. I will also say it’s one of the most engaged juries I’ve seen.”
Trump’s Manhattan trial has often attracted some big media names to the courtroom, and the former president has not always been a fan. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell had described receiving a glare from him one day in court. The former President had also attacked O’Donnell on Truth Social, saying his vocal critic “looks like shit” and is a “loser.”
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels has testified this week over two days. Daniels alleged an affair occurred between her and Trump, something he continues to deny. Daniels detailed her alleged encounters with Trump and had to be warned at one point about giving too many unnecessary details in her answers. Two motions to dismiss from Trump’s legal team were denied.
