    “I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury?” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

    State law, a law that’s been around for over a hundred years, limits it to 10 strikes.

    That’s what he gets for thinking again.

      Trump always complains when he has to follow the rules. Doesn’t matter what the rule is, he always wants to be the exception.

      It probably comes from the decades of experience he has in not having to follow the rules.

        And he’s always been a lying manipulative piece of shit too.

        Exemplifying that here - he actually does get unlimited strikes if there’s a legal reason that juror shouldn’t be there (e.g. if they say, “I’m not going to consider the evidence, I’ve already made up my mind.”) He’s only limited to 10 strikes without having a legal basis for them, but his followers are going to see Trump’s whining and walk away with the impression that his lawyers are forced to spend those 10 strikes on “I’ve already made up my mind” jurors.

          Trump supporters already have the impression that all the potential jurors are out to get Trump, because their whole worldview necessitates a constant attitude of victimhood.
