'He's gonna hate that:' Hush money trial reporter revels at Trump's next big challenge
Donald Trump is in for a rough ride in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday after Judge Juan Merchan sends the 12-person jury considering the 34 felonies filed against him off to deliberate.
After weeks of sitting through testimony and lawyers for both sides battling before Merchan, Trump is now obligated to sit in the courtroom with nothing to occupy him as the jurors decide his fate.
According to CNN legal analyst Paula Reid, the former president who has had trouble staying interested and awake during some of the more boring moments of the trial is going to have a hard time dealing with the anticipation and boredom.

Speaking with host Kaitlan Collins, Reid said Trump will end up like a "caged tiger."
"It is notable that Trump has to stay inside the courthouse as the jury is going to be in that jury room deliberating, we don't know how long it could take," Collins prompted.
"Yeah he's going to hate that," Reid replied. "He's made it clear —clearly he doesn't like the case — but he also doesn't like the courthouse."
"He really just does not enjoy being in there so he's gonna probably be like a caged tiger and that'll be something for his lawyers have to deal with," she added. "And it really stinks for anyone obviously to be a defendant in a criminal case. It's stressful, you're waiting, but they have no idea how long they'll wait, even when the jury does come back with a note; it could just be a question. So this is going to be a challenging few days for him."
