Fox News host Jesse Watters apparently thinks its unfair for former President Donald Trump to have to attend his criminal trial.
Monday marked the start of the second week of Trumps hush-money trial in Manhattan, with opening arguments beginning after a jury was seated last week, and Watters lamented that Trumps being treated worse than prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
Watters also said that making Trump appear in court every day of his trial something required of all criminal defendants was cruel and unusual punishment.
The guy needs exercise. Hes usually golfing, and so youre going to put a man whos almost 80, sitting in a room like this, on his butt for all that time? Its unhealthy. ... He needs sunlight, and he needs activity. ... Its really cruel and unusual punishment.

Watters is definitely in the tank for Trump, but many people on social media found his latest bootlicking comments even more annoying.
I never really thought about how cruelly they treated O.J., a prolific golfer, by keeping him indoors for weeks.

What bullshit. The sociopath is one of the less active people around. He constantly uses a golf cart, not just on a course but in meetings with world leaders as they walk alongside him.

He sits on his ass & uses social media day & night. He just had a weekend: what the fuck did https://t.co/ARQf7ATitU
Waddling three steps out of a cart to hit a ball then waddling back into the cart to be driven to where it landed does not a workout make. Also, your orange lord hates exercise because he thinks it runs his energy reserves down or some bullshit. If he doesnt care, why do you? https://t.co/d8VEMGtS7q

Watters just leaving any shred of dignity right there on that floor. https://t.co/s1SHK7vnTR
