When asked about the experience by Carlson, Trump called them “incredible.”
“When I went to the courthouse, which is also a prison in a sense, they signed me up and I’ll tell you the people were crying — people who work there, work there professionally, who have no problem using killers and they see everyone,” Trump said. “It’s a tough, tough place, and they were crying. They were actually crying. They said, “I’m sorry.”‘

Trump is walking through New York’s Manhattan Criminal Court last week after becoming the first former president to be indicted
Trump’s day in court was a first for a US president – he became the first to be charged after leaving office.
Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a $30,000 payout to a doorman who tried to sell information about a child Trump allegedly fathered out of wedlock, $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal and a payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels.
He pleaded not guilty at the New York Criminal Court after the 16-page indictment was unsealed.
That night, Trump ranted at Mar-a-Lago about the key prosecutors and judges involved.
He said Bragg campaigned “about getting President Trump.”
He also went after Judge Juan Manuel Merchan, who is leading the New York hush money case.
“I have a Trump-hating judge, with a Trump-hating wife and family, whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris and now receives money from the Biden-Harris campaign and a lot of it,” Trump stormed from the podium at his Florida home and refuge.
He also accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, calling her a “local racist Atlanta Democratic district attorney.”

Willis, who is black, is overseeing a case in which Trump could be indicted for his role in trying to overturn the 2020 Georgia election results.
Trump also called New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is also black, a “reverse racist” for prosecuting fraud cases against his companies.
The ex-president also labeled Special Counsel Jack Smith a “lunatic.”
Smith, who was appointed by President Joe Biden’s attorney general Merrick Garland, is handling two federal Trump-related investigations: his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House and his role in the 6th Capitol bombing. January.
However, the next day he released a statement applauding the professionalism of the police officers and court employees he interacted with.
“The AMAZING PATRIOTS inside and outside the courthouse on Tuesday were incredibly nice, in fact, they couldn’t have been nicer,” Trump said. “Law clerks, police officers and others were all very professional and represented New York City sooo well.”
