A federal judge threatened to kick Donald Trump out of court Wednesday after the former president made repeated comments within earshot of the jury hearing a civil defamation trial against him.
Trump muttered that the case is a “witch hunt,” among other similar comments, according to a lawyer for the writer E. Jean Carroll, who is suing Trump over derogatory comments he made about her while he was president.
The episode prompted a stern rebuke from U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who repeatedly tussled with Trump and his lawyers during a testy courtroom session Wednesday morning.
“Mr. Trump has the right to be present here. That right can be forfeited, and it can be forfeited if he is disruptive, which is what has been reported to me,” the judge said.
Not being able to control oneself is a trait I require in a president.
He’s obviously child trapped in an ugly and obese man’s body. He thinks he’s above everyone else because he has more money thanks to his daddy.
He’s just a little brat.
He’s pouting. He is losing and can’t accept it. It’s pathetic.
Would be hilarious if the judge told him “will you just shut up, man?”
Hilarious and poignant. However, also a mistrial.
Lead exposure plus a traumatic childhood and inbuilt narcissism made him the man he is today.
Stop insulting children.
That is why we only let them have the nuclear football. It is the only way M.A.D. works, when the enemy has no idea if you are going to hit the button.
Trump’s nuclear football only contains the Staples’ “that was easy” button
Not true. If they’re unsure when or why you might do something, they may act first to get a first strike advantage. If you can’t be reasoned with, why would they try being reasonable?
r/whoosh
You act like that wasn’t an actual argument when Nixon was president. It wasn’t a joke.
Hahaha
