Trump was testifying before state Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron — whom he has mocked on his Truth Social platform as "crazy, totally unhinged, and dangerous." In one post, #trump said Engoron "should be thrown off the 'Bench' as a giant Embarrassment to New York State!" His account continued posting jabs at the judge and James while he was testifying Monday.

There’s no jury, so Engoron will be the one who ultimately decides the outcome of the trial...

@shekinahcancook @dalfen propably the latter one.

They can't face malpractice if their client is being a loudmouthed asshole who disregards their advice and warnings out loud.

So they might just grift here since their reputation is already in the shitter...

@kkarhan @shekinahcancook Yeah, I would hope lawyers wouldn’t be as dumb as they’re acting. There HAS to some reason behind it, right? 😂

@dalfen @shekinahcancook I'm shure they'll have all their meetings with Trump recorded where they brief him on the seriousness of the case and that he'd be wise to do #STFUfriday in court.

Just to get any suit against them dismissed outright...

Bit then again in the USA #SueHappy is a thing for better (#ClassAction) amd worse (#ThielVsGawker and other #SueIntoInsolvency cases)...

@kkarhan
He acted bad today-- even for his standards. From what I've read/seen, he has typically been more subdued under oath.

Oh yes, he should really be quiet. I'm wondering ab those lawyers.

Yes, and then he has always been sue happy-- he thinks he is above everything :eyeroll:

    omg yes... and that all jives w/ how the judge was acting in the article-- to me he seemed a bit reserved, or careful w/ what he said and how he handled the situation

    @shekinahcancook @dalfen And since the Range Tyrant isn't really choosing his words wisely they propably already plan of either getting Trump declared insane or pushing the judge into something that could get the case retried amd said jidge yeeted.

    Or both - after all, those ain't mutually exclusive and based upon the load of evidence, pushing the judge and/or trying ableism as get-out-of-jail strategy are the only option.

    Trump ignoring his lawyers may after all he beneficial for them.

    @kkarhan

    Oh I hear you. He won't go to jail w/ this one bc it's a civil suit, but he stands to lose a lot. His ego is especially hurt here bc he always wants everyone to know how wealthy he is.
    They've got a very bizarre strategy going on here if this is planned bc he is looking quite out of touch w/ reality as he runs for president lol

    @shekinahcancook @quinsibell @dalfen yeah...

    Or they'll argue he's insane and should be sent to an asylum instead of jail.

    Which is the most likely to succeed tactic I can imagine...

    @kkarhan
    Now that's a good point... I'm still wondering ab these lawyers and their motives.

    @kkarhan@mstdn.social avatar

    @dalfen @shekinahcancook @quinsibell

    Because at this point the only thing they could do is plea-bargin his ass out of jail...

    dalfen, (edited )
    @dalfen@mstdn.social avatar

    @kkarhan

    And he's still facing the four federal criminal sets of charges.... it's four sets right? Like 90 total indictments

    Yep-- 91 criminal charges-- srsly this is just disgusting

    ~ How 91 felony charges boosted Trump’s standing in the GOP~

    @shekinahcancook Right? That article was rich with mess 😂
    Reading it, I’m not sure if he’s delusional (like it’s not just an act).
    He has lied to himself for so long and has always been surrounded by “yes” people propping him up— the article said that banks didn’t even seem to care ab the hyped-up valuations. He might truly be out of touch with reality when it comes to his finances (and his business’ finances)….
    I’m not sure what to think, but I wonder.

    @shekinahcancook Do you think the lawyers think trump will be treated differently or something, and get away with this?
    The other thing is maybe they’re intimidated by trump…

    IDK, when I read that article, I thought of ppl I have taken care of in the past with dementia or similar condition that makes them out of touch with reality.

    dalfen,
    @dalfen@mstdn.social avatar

    @shekinahcancook He even says - I’m right, therefore you’re wrong (essentially). It would be almost a sad sight of someone defending their delusions if he wasn’t trump running for president--

    So, he's either lying or delusional. Wow. And a bunch of Americans don't seem to care.

    @shekinahcancook @dalfen I believe there are still civil charges being adjudicated in this trial, so this isn't strictly just for sentencing.

    @shekinahcancook @dalfen He's seeking to undermine the court system itself. Any propaganda he can force onto the record - he thinks - will serve.
