Former president makes impromptu speech to cheering crowd, hours after pleading not guilty to four criminal counts in Washington DC court
Donald Trump was irritated by a judge who called him “Mr Trump” instead of “President Trump” as he pleaded not guilty to attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
He left the Washington DC courthouse in a “sour and dejected mood”, according to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
She continued: “One thing that irked him particularly was during that hearing… when the magistrate judge referred to him as simply ‘Mr Trump’.
“That may not sound odd to anyone else, but he is still referred to by his former title ‘President Trump’ when he’s at his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey or at Mar-a-Lago.”
