From your link:
"The pre-sentence interview is a chance for the defendant to try to make a good impression and explain why he or she deserves a lighter punishment."
I think the convicted felon/former president is starting off on the wrong foot here. In the public rant shortly after his verdict, he berated the judge, Michael Cohen (news flash - he's still under the gag order and this was ANOTHER violation), the entire "corrupt" judicial system, and so on ad nauseum. Regret and contrition are not part of his makeup, only cheap orange spray tan.
And people WANT this disgraceful excuse for human flesh to represent the US?!? What the hell is WRONG with them?
