Trump early on on the stand reportedly went off a monologue in which he called the trial “crazy,” prompting Justice Arthur Engoron to instruct Trump to only answer questions presented to him, according to Messenger reporter Adam Klasfeld.
Trump reportedly took a swipe at Engoron, reportedly going “off on a tangent” about the statute of limitations in which he said, “I’m sure the judge will rule against me because he always rules against me.”
Engoron asked Trump’s counsel Chris Kise if “that was necessary,” before telling Trump, “You can attack me, do whatever you want, but answer the question.”
Engoron asked Kise, “Can you control your client? This is not a political rally.”
Kise reportedly responded to him, “You’re in control of the courtroom, not me.”
Kise doesn't confer with his client, and Trump boasts about his financial statements.
Trump: "It's a nice compilation of assets. It's a great statement. […] It's a lot of cash. […] The banks came to me. They wanted to make deals with me."
Judge: "Stricken! Stricken!"

Later, Engoron pleaded with Trump’s lawyer to “control him, if you can.”
Engoron: “I beseech you to control him, if you can.”
The judge warns Kise that if he will control Trump if the lawyer doesn’t.

Trump lawyers Alina Habba and Kise defended Trump, saying he was being responsive to the questions.

Trump responded: “This is a very unfair trial. Very, very unfair, and I hope the public is watching it.”
Trump also during his testimony took a dig at New York Attorney General Letitia James, reportedly telling her counsel, “you” and other “Democrat” prosecutors “were all coming after me from 15 different sides.”
All of the cases are “not good,” Trump reportedly said. “Weaponization, they call it,” he said.
Engoron looks like a character from the the movie “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
HE’S PURE EVIL And NEEDS AN EXORCISM BY HIS RABBI !

They are threatening Trump with 700 years in prison and taking away his entire lifes’ work and he is not bending the knee. How anyone can want another nominee and President is beyond me at this point. This level of courage is read about in the bible and we imagine what we would do in similar situations (think Mesheck, Shadrack and Abendigo). Win or lose Trump is a legend and should the country survive he will be looked upon with awe. Most people, if you’re being honest, would have cried uncle about 6 years ago (It’s likely that they wouldn’t have made it that far).
My 85+ years old pastor always said, “If GOD has something for you to do, He’ll preserve you like a pickle.”
TRUMP is on Assignment.
President Trump can’t even. get an accurate depiction form a biased media.
“Engoron asked Kise, “Can you control your client? This is not a political rally.””
That’s right! It’s a kangaroo court and a monkey trial. Can’t you tell the difference?
Trump knows that the judge is determined to rule against him, so he is baiting the judge hoping to force a reversible error.
He also kinda looks like the late Bob Denver aka Gilligan.
HAHA!
He needs a Damascus Road experience. He has a dark and twisted heart.
It is a show trial. Put a defendant on trial in public for show after already deciding that he will be found guilty.
Actually more like Sam Bankman-Fried, but aged!
It’s not unusual to bifurcate trial issues. Unfortunately, as usual, media coverage of these legal issues has been sloppy and lazy, simplified to the point of being incoherent. I think His Honor may have jumped the gun on his liability finding (it’s not a criminal case, so it’s liable or not, not “guilty” or not.) he certainly
Jumped the gun on the now-stayed order essentially liquidating the Trump business operations.
