    Two sections from the article: ““Closing arguments are for an advocate to comment on the evidence presented, on the relevant law, and on how the latter applies to the former to justify the result sought. Such arguments may not be used to testify, to introduce new evidence, to make a campaign speech, or to comment on irrelevant matters,” Engoron emailed Trump’s legal team on Tuesday afternoon.” Ha ha

    and

    The judge’s warnings came after months of Trump’s unhinged speeches outside the courtroom and social media posts in which the billionaire labeled the judge a leftist hack, insulted the judge’s law clerk, and dismissed the entire trial as an empty political persecution." Who is “the billionaire” in this sentence? LoL

        I don’t think he was even a former billionaire. That claim seemed to be based off his fraudulent property claims.

          He has always just been a trust fund kid, pretending to be a business magnate. He had enough money via inheritance to fly around in a private jet, wear terribly fitting suits, make appearances wherever he could and claim to be wildly successful. It was all an act.
