Former President Donald Trump’s Hush Money Trial: The Mystery Behind the Yellow Sticky Notes
Former US President Donald Trump was caught on camera with his hands on two yellow sticky notes before his hush money trial continued on Tuesday. The image, which resurfaced on Reddit, showed Trump with a note scribbled in thick black marker that read, “This case should be dismissed by the judge, but it’s totally corrupt.”
The note sparked mixed reactions, with some questioning why Trump needed a written reminder for his stance on the trial. One user joked, “LOL at needing a handwritten note that says the ‘case should be dismissed by the judge,’” while another suggested that Trump may have written it intentionally to grab attention.
Getty Images featured the image in their pool, confirming that it was not doctored or AI-generated. Despite the speculation, one Redditor debunked the idea of AI involvement, stating, “No, this is neither some AI fakery nor is it photoshopped. This is pure Trump intelligence at work.”
Trump is currently under a gag order that prohibits him from speaking about the case outside the court premises. Judge Juan Merchan fined Trump $10,000 for contempt of court for repeatedly disregarding this order. The closing arguments in the trial concluded on Tuesday, with jury deliberations scheduled to begin on Wednesday.
The image of Trump with the sticky notes has sparked a debate online, with Redditors questioning the former president’s actions and motives. Despite the controversy, the trial continues to unfold as the legal proceedings move forward.
