Sykes, while speaking about Trump’s trial, stated, “I am enjoying the Trump trial; I really am.”
“I know they say he’s passing gas and everything, so I like that I’m watching it from home, you know? I don’t think I wanna be in that room.” added Skyes.
Sykes continued, “You fall asleep, and you toot a little bit. I mean, I do it.”

Here’s what Yahoo News reported:
Like hundreds of thousands of other rapt viewers, comedian Wanda Sykes is getting a lot of mileage out of the Manhattan criminal trial of Donald Trump, the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president.
