    “I’m not a windmill person,” he said at one point.

    “I have a castle,” he said at another.

    Of his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, he testified: “At some point, maybe in my very old age, I’ll go there and do the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. Aberdeen is the oil capital of Europe, very rich,” Trump began to say, but he was interrupted by the judge shouting, “Irrelevant!” Trump murmured, “It is.”

    Hours into his testimony, Trump attempted to read from a piece of paper he retrieved from his pocket. “I’d love to read this, your honor, if I could. Am I allowed to do that?” Trump asked. The judge said no.

    On his way out of court, Kise further applauded Trump’s performance, telling reporters: “In 33 years, I’ve never had a witness testify better.”

    This would be a blockbuster comedy if it wasn’t real

      The way reality keeps pirating the onion’s articles, it’s a wonder they’re still in business.

      That’s sad in 33 years of pratice the best testimony he has ever gotten from a client is just random rambaling.

        It’s nothing but yes-man speak. Remember that’s the only kind of person he surrounds himself with.

        Oh, that was the defense lawyer? I assumed that was the plaintiff.

      Now I’m just imagining him reading a chapter of Shakespeare or something, like he thought he was in literature club.

      Not that I could imagine Trump visiting a literature club, but I can imagine him thinking it.

      Everything he does feels like a comedy sketch but it’s real life and I hate it.
