During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, Republican Party campaign strategist Susan Del Percio dismissed Donald Trump's complaints that his Manhattan hush money trial is to blame for his inability to campaign across the country.
Speaking with host Alex Witt, the two noted that Trump is only expected to be in court four days a week leaving him weekends and Wednesday free to roam the country and no court scheduled this coming Monday.
Del Percio was quick to point out that the former president eschewed hitting the road this weekend choosing instead to hole up for the entire weekend, purportedly to celebrate his wife Melania's birthday which was on Friday, since she has not been in Mantahhan attending his trial with him.

"Now, Donald Trump has always played the victim, he has always blamed others," she began. "And frankly, when he campaigns, he only does quick stop-ins into states."
"He could be campaigning more, he's going out to a couple of states mid-week," she continued before asking, "Why wasn't he campaigning this weekend? He could have done that. He could campaign on Monday, but the fact is they don't have enough campaign cash on hand to actually hold these rallies."
