The legal expert and her 'The View' co-hosts can't help but rip the former U.S. president for allegedly passing gas in the courtroom during his hush money trial.

AceShowbiz - Sunny Hostin has fanned rumors that Donald Trump has been passing gas in court during his hush money trial. The lawyer/journalist ripped the former U.S. over his alleged behaviors in the courtroom in a new episode of "The View".
In the Wednesday, May 1 episode of the talk show, Hostin criticized the Republican party nominee for the upcoming presidential election. "I am so shocked that the Republican party has a nominee who is a former one-term, twice-impeached, indicted-with-88 criminal-charges, and found-liable-for-sexual abuse [candidate]," she said.
Her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who used to work for Trump's communications team, interrupted her to point out, "He's tied with Joe Biden - it makes no sense." Hostin continued, saying she's "so shocked that that's all the Republican party had to offer."
The legal expert, however, is hopeful that Americans won't vote for Trump given his recent strings of legal woes and reports about his alleged courtroom antics. "I do think people are paying attention to the fact that he's been fined $9,000 for violating a gag order, that he's just losing it," she claimed, before mocking the former POTUS, "He's farting up a storm in the courtroom. Everyone's writing about that. He's probably just horrified about that. He's sitting there falling asleep. He's now Sleepy Don. There's no Sleepy Joe anymore."
Co-host Joy Behar then quipped that "they need to get him some Imodium" while he sits in court. Sara Haines chimed in, calling Trump "crazy," though she argued that coverage of the legal proceedings, showing him sitting still in a professional setting, challenges what people think they know of the ex-president. "But," Hostin rebutted, "he’s sitting in a courtroom farting."
Trump has become the butt of the jokes after it was reported last week that he was farting in court. Prior to that, he was roasted by social media users after he was caught dozing off and appearing to fall asleep on the first day of his criminal trial on charges of falsifying business records.
