there was every opportunity to be here. melania not said a word. ivanka said, i love you, dad. this is a moment for a man who was on trial for six weeks inside a lower manhattan courthouse to not be seen with his family. eric trump the only one. this would be a moment if they were to appear with him you would think they would be here. inside the courthouse as the verdict was read, eric shook hit head. when donald trump got up he was mostly stone-faced throughout this, looking straight ahead. i felt he looked deflated. he had the signature grimace you see when he is trying to look tough and serious. there was an emptiness behind it, almost an effort to continue to present that face as he has presented it. he shook hands with eric and then he walked out. i do think it s really interesting that knowing a verdict was coming down, that don junior was out of the country. it s interesting that ivanka never showed up to court. i know she s been trying to separate herself from her
