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.

Dang, I sure wish this was televised.
It sounds like Trump at his best.
NO ONE CAN CONTROL HIM!
Wait until this goes to the U.S. Supreme Court. Engoron should be disbarred, if that’s possible.
He does look like a rocky horror; also Harpo Marx (honk, honk!)
This biased Judge is helping Trump. Lots of people resent this farce.
Riff-raff!

Alina Habba is top notch
Glad President Trump has such loyal fighters representing him
Must watch video of Attorney Alina Habba via Fox News.
Ugly...inside and out.
It will not go to SCOTUS. It is a civil trial involving NY State law. It will goto state’s appellate division and then to Court of Appeals. Trump will lose but will likely survive the effort to divest him of his properties and ability to do business inNY. The only way this goes to SCOTUS is if Courts and AG James seek to go after his out of state assets. Then they will get smacked by the federal courts, likelyat every level.
That’s because he is a character in a movie. We’re watching a movie.
Not a bad strategy. Not a bad strategy at all.

JUST IN: Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba says judge Arthur Engoron had an unhinged episode in the court room where he started “slamming” a table.
Kangaroo court.
“You have a right to hire a lawyer who can stand up and stay something when they see something wrong.”
“I was told to sit down today. I was yelled at and I had a judge who is unhinged slamming a table. I don’t tolerate that in my life. I’m not going to tolerate it here.”
Wow.

You're watching history. An inflection point whose outcome will determine whether we live in a Republic, or a WEF geographical district.
"But if we only get behind a candidate that's acceptable to the deep state..."
The ratchet only works one way. The only way out of this is to smash the ratchet itself.
You’re watching a coordinated operation remove the deepstate Cabal and restore the republic. And yes its historical. But its not happening organically.
Flawed character
BLACK SOUL!
without question
Drop dead, New York!
