I’m not going to pretend that this is some grand strategy by Trump. He’s an immature man-child and that’s all there is to it.
But there most certainly is a strategy by his lawyers.
If their client somehow manages to make the judge “lose their cool” its fuel for an appeal/mistrial. So they really have no interest in ACTUALLY controlling his outbursts.
Isn’t it typical for a lawyer to be held in contempt for not following court rules? Will there contempt proceedings near the end of the trial?
Now take everything from him.
careful now, drumpf. that hamburder heart might just do the world a favour…
my money is on him having a stroke, but yeah-- he’s old and in shitty health. there’s only so much more of that crap he can pull before he drops dead of something.
Snowflake behavior ❄️👶
When you’re famous, they just let you do it.
Since when is the client allowed to deliver a closing statement anyways
I wish the judge had simply replied “would you like cheese with whine?” and then locked him for contempt of court.
Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them this shit is unacceptable. Call over and over until their aides are sick of hearing your voice. Even if you aren’t in the same party and you didn’t vote for them. Let every gov’t employee know enough is enough.

Hello, Mr. Ted Cruz? I’d like to file a complaint abou… Oh, go fuck myself? No, that’s fair. I’ll just dial Mr Crenshaw and… Nope, it appears I’m being told that this phone call is uncivil and I can go fuck myself. Okay, well, you’ll be hearing from my vote in a heavily caged and gerrymandered set of districts.
Call over and over until their aides are sick of hearing your voice.
Daily screaming matches with some telemarketing company paid to handle their calls will do more harm to me than to any of them.
He should have been arrested, cuffed, and hauled off to be locked up like anyone else.
Instead everyone will continue to coddle him, emboldening his jackass followers as if this course is somehow favorable to consequences.
Why is this a thing?? I don’t get it. It’s so stupid. Anybody else would get their ass handed back to them but he’s the exception for some reason I can’t fathom. Like, even if he has a lot of followers, so what?
In this case, to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints that the judge was biased against him.
And guess what? He has zero room for complaints. The judge has handled this pretty much perfectly.
to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints
My man standing up on the desk, pulling down his pants, shitting all over the place, then waddling out with his pants around his ankles and the judge turns to the bailiff saying “No no no, let him do his thing, I don’t want to risk a mistrial”.
He has zero room for complaints.
He’s been indicted 91 times since he left office and we’ve yet to see any of them resolve into some kind of legal punishment. Everything is supposedly coming to a head between March and May of this year, but… In the middle of a heated election season, I’m not holding my breath on that shit getting deferred or extended or whatever.
And then if he makes it to November and wins (hardly unlikely, given the direction of the current polling) he’s back to being Unitary Executive and immune to prosecution. And then we’ll get four more years. And if the country doesn’t collapse on itself after that, we get to restart the whole process and hope another four years of pretending to indict a former President now pushing into his mid-80s will mean anything.
Guy is going to die of poor health long before he sees the inside of a jail cell. The US justice system simply is not built to punish people like him.
sounds like baby needs a nap, or a good spanking
Sounds like someone needed some Baby Shark and a snack. Poor kid.
I was sure this would be an Onion article. Jesus.
He stormed out because he shit himself. Again. And was stinking up the courtroom. Again. If you watch the video, you see him holding his butt and waddling.
Don’t be so hard on the guy. He just needed a diaper change. Happens all the time to babies.
Trump is such a pussy. Yes, I will judge anyone who still supports this weak, sad, mentally deranged man. People keep throwing around accusations of this and that is what is wrong with America, well, the fact that anyone even allows this traitor or anyone like him the time of day, is what is wrong with America.
Justice Engoron previously denied Trump’s ask to deliver part of the closing arguments when his attorneys refused to agree to terms that Trump would not attack the Court and violate Court rules.
“Your Honor, I have literally no control over my client. He’s essentially an aged, rabid dog at this point.”
Edit: lol, I haven’t gotten to this part of the article yet
Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump’s attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor’s alleged political motives, including what he called her “failed” run for Governor.

lmfao and the attorney will probably never get paid. God what those meetings must be like…
Kise has already been paid to the tune of $3M.
No attorneys will work for Donald Trump without a huge retainer up front.
Good attorneys will not work for him at all.
