Former President Donald Trump looked “scared” at his arraignment, one of his political enemies is claiming.
During an appearance on MSNBC on Friday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) discussed Trump’s appearance in federal court.
“I wasn’t in the courtroom, of course. But when I saw his coming out of his car and this or that, I saw a scared puppy,” she said.
Pelosi added, “He looked very, very, very concerned about the fate.”
She suggested:
“I didn’t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that. He knows the truth, that he lost the election and now he’s got to face the music.”

Trump is facing criminal charges for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
On Thursday, he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Trump was reportedly frustrated when the judge presiding over his arraignment simply referred to him as “Mr. Trump.”
Yet, in a post on Truth Social, he insisted, “CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I HAD TO FLY TO A FILTHY, DIRTY, FALLING APART, [and] VERY UNSAFE WASHINGTON, D.C., TODAY, [and] THAT I WAS THEN ARRESTED BY MY POLITICAL OPPONENT, WHO IS LOSING BADLY TO ME IN THE POLLS, CROOKED JOE BIDEN, IT WAS A VERY GOOD DAY!”
“Biden [and] Garland file bogus cases against me so it becomes difficult for me to campaign. Nothing like this has every [sic] happened before. Must be Unconstitutional? BUT SOMEHOW, WE WILL WIN IT ALL!!!” he wrote in another post.
