    The judge after Trump has finished speaking.

    “What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

    I’ll believe it when I see it.

    He loves to do this little act where he puffs up his chest and claims that he’s going to testify, only to back down at the last minute.

    No, he doesn’t. He always backs out at the last minute. I’ll bet a tooth he doesn’t even show up for closing arguments.

        Maybe his plan is to be held in contempt so he becomes a martyr and proves to his idiots that he’s being silenced (though everyone else sees that he’s simply not following the rules).

    I’m the victim of a very unfair trial and very unfair judge. A judge who I think probably has magnets, if there’s one thing I know it’s magnets and you put water on it - no more magnets. No but - it’s true, Mexico is sending over killer magnets that hate Christians, it’s so terrible, folks, the biased prosecution doesn’t - I don’t have to because of president. See, they don’t want you to know that - it’s true that many people are saying I’m the smartest fraud who ever shat himself, but I think - if you want America back, you need to buy my steaks.

    Amen.

    Any legal experts in here? Can this be used as testimony for the judge/jury?

    I don’t know why people are acting like he won’t…

    This isn’t taking the stand as a witness, this isn’t presenting facts like a lawyer.

    And his lawyers will still say everything they were gonna say anyways.

    This is just trump knowing how much this will get his name out for something remotely positive. He isn’t speaking to the judge, he’s speaking to his followers. And this is going to bring in a shit ton of donations. He knows any sound bite is going all over national news for a day or two.

    He can say whatever he wants and lie about whatever. And everyone has to listen to him, it’s a captive audience of people that he believes hates him and are “witch hunting” him.

    trump is gonna be a trumpet in a subway car.

      First of all, he won’t present facts.

      Secondly, he is talking to the judge as there is no media allowed in the room.

      Third, the judge can stop his blather anytime he wants to, which is the reason he won’t do it.

        Never said he would, in fact I said he’d lie…

        Secondly, he is talking to the judge as there is no media allowed in the room.

        You legitimately haven’t read a single article about what was said in court?

        Third, the judge can stop his blather anytime he wants to, which is the reason he won’t do it.

        And the media would be entirely about how the judge stopped him from speaking…

        That’d probably be more donations than anything he could say.

        He gets to have the hypothetical that whatever he was going to say would prove his innocence

    Well, it’s not the worst idea he’s ever had.

    Although, I’m really only saying that because this is the same guy that suggested nuking tornadoes, trading PR for Greenland, and drinking bleach to cure COVID.

    Could he be trying to cause some sort of mistrial or appeal on the grounds that his lawyers we incompetent for not stopping him?
