Trump was a quiet presence inside court, but outside he said ‘deranged’ judge overseeing case ‘should be out of office’

Not many defendants would dare to brand the judge overseeing their case “deranged”, call for them to be kicked out of office and dismiss the suit against them as a “witch-hunt”. Not many defendants are Donald Trump.

On the first day of a civil fraud case that could decide the future of his business career, Trump cut an angry, uncomfortable figure. “This is a judge that should be out of office,” he told reporters as the court broke for lunch. “This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he’s doing.”

In court, in a navy suit and light blue tie, Trump was a quieter presence. Hunched at times and conferring with his lawyers, he mostly listened quietly as lawyers for the New York attorney general outlined their case.

      Where can one learn to speak like this? I would pay for this class.

      No idea if this is true but it sounds like something straight out of Trainspotting… I can almost hear the accent in my head. No offense hopefully, I’m just a dumb Yank.

          Snatch is the only movie I pirated and was not disappointed when it wasn’t a porno.

    It is really stupid to say things about the judgeb in a jury trial.

    It is incredibly stupid to say things about the judge in a bench trial.

      It is, unless as every other time before, Trump faces no consequences for his actions.

          Good thing most judges are old enough and wise enough to see his grandstanding for what it is and not give it to him.

    I get it; he’s rich, really rich…or was…maybe…idk…but why is it so hard to understand that he is US Citizen (SSN) #999-99-9999. Treat him like literally every other person, if you’d hold them in contempt, the same goes for Trump.

      Right, damn his supporters and bootlickers. All I want is for them to do their fucking jobs. Who cares about his title, past our present. Just. Do. Your. Fucking. Job.

    If he hasn’t learned what “don’t piss off the judge” means by now his ass is grass. Grass that smells like shit.

    You know, every time he says something dumb I think to myself, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard”. I then wait about a week,tops and he manages to say something dumber-er. Amazing.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Not many defendants would dare to brand the judge overseeing their case “deranged”, call for them to be kicked out of office and dismiss the suit against them as a “witch-hunt”.

    On the first day of a civil fraud case that could decide the future of his business career, Trump cut an angry, uncomfortable figure.

    In a hushed courtroom with secret service agents posted on all sides of the room, Trump sat directly facing the New York judge Arthur Engoron.

    As the judge and the lawyers conferred, Trump gave the occasional scoff and eye roll but the fireworks were saved for outside the court.

    After a three-year investigation the attorney general Letitia James, also present, has accused Trump and his sons of “grossly inflating” the value of the properties in order to secure business loans.

    Habba also told the judge that the attorney general’s office had brought the case forward on political motivations, that people are mad that Trump’s real estate brand is so successful.
