Definitely the actions of an innocent man. Lmao he’s such a loser, and sore one at that. Hopefully they bleed his criminal organization dry with the verdict
Sooo… a pretty standard Thursday then?
Since when is the client allowed to deliver a closing statement anyways
I’m sure Trump just wanted to talk… And… If I’m the prosecution I’d probably be OK with it, banking on this exact outcome. Haha
This title is hilarious compared to others I’ve seen. Makes it seem like shit was crazy. Like they’re trying to top the guy who superman’d over the bench last week. It wasn’t. He spoke and the judge let him. And the judge will make his decision soon so let’s see how the EXPLOSIVE UNHINGED ATTACKS work out for him.
I’m guessing the only explosive or thunderous thing that happened was just Trump shitting his diaper as he waddled out.
this article- which I skimmed - seems like a left-leaning Fox News. Like massive hyperbole and exaggeration designed to get rage clicks
Unfortunately that’s the devolution of most media now… It’s ridiculous.
No no we can’t be the media or the press and simply provide information, we are ad revenue companies masquerading as the press.
Right, left, center, whatever. It’s all devolving into click bait shit.

Agreed. I thought there was some huge, unhinged rant. I only read about it, didn’t hear it, but it sounds pretty tame compared to this description.
Is there video of this speech?
Not that I’ve seen (doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist), but other coverage I have read makes it seem way less dramatic.
Yeah I was going to say, “stormed out”? I’ve never seen a courtroom where the defendant could just leave, especially not in a case that’s this high profile.
He could “storm out” because it was lunchtime
“I’m going to call a one-hour recess.”
“Thank you, your honor” Storms out
How explosively unhinged of you!
It’s civil not criminal so defendant isn’t required to attend
Did anyone expect something different? He is a big child that never learned the meaning of tbe word “No”. He simply cannot accept that someome sets real limits to his doings, so they must be wrong.
He has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I can’t imagine why this isn’t called out more.
Everything the man does is perfectly predictable (note the date!) given that context.
I hope they slap him with contempt again.
At this point I’d be happy if they just like literally slap him.
Must be nice to be able to have a tantrum in court, yell at the judge, and then just be able to walk out.
I encourage everyone to try it sometime.
Injustice Engoron says different rules for you plebs.
The judge is trying to prevent any pretext to getting the case thrown out on appeals. It’s bullshit but having all this hard work go up in smoke because a brainless judge higher up found a tiny fault in an unprecedented case would be horrid.
Jokes on us: like police do all the time, if a judge wants to “find” such a fault - maybe by citing precedence from a thousand years ago? - then they will. Ofc there is no reason to make it easy on them.
frankly, i’m shocked they haven’t tried to cite the Magna Carta yet.
There’s an agency near me that actually has the Magna Carta date on their patches. It’s humorous to think that many of them have no idea what it means.
Hrm, don’t start giving them any IDEAS now… :-P
What a piece of shit system that cannot treat people equally… Fucking farce of a country.
While it’s very stark, I doubt you’ll find many countries treating their billionaires the same as their workers.
If Trump launched his fatass onto the bench like that guy in Vegas Engoron would apologize to him.
Florida man tackled by bailiff?
I encourage everyone to try it sometime.
Do fries come with that Contempt?
Freedom to be in jail fries.
*jail depends on tax bracket
Trump is such a pussy. Yes, I will judge anyone who still supports this weak, sad, mentally deranged man. People keep throwing around accusations of this and that is what is wrong with America, well, the fact that anyone even allows this traitor or anyone like him the time of day, is what is wrong with America.
Now take everything from him.
He should have been arrested, cuffed, and hauled off to be locked up like anyone else.
Instead everyone will continue to coddle him, emboldening his jackass followers as if this course is somehow favorable to consequences.
Why is this a thing?? I don’t get it. It’s so stupid. Anybody else would get their ass handed back to them but he’s the exception for some reason I can’t fathom. Like, even if he has a lot of followers, so what?
In this case, to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints that the judge was biased against him.
And guess what? He has zero room for complaints. The judge has handled this pretty much perfectly.
to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints
My man standing up on the desk, pulling down his pants, shitting all over the place, then waddling out with his pants around his ankles and the judge turns to the bailiff saying “No no no, let him do his thing, I don’t want to risk a mistrial”.
He has zero room for complaints.
He’s been indicted 91 times since he left office and we’ve yet to see any of them resolve into some kind of legal punishment. Everything is supposedly coming to a head between March and May of this year, but… In the middle of a heated election season, I’m not holding my breath on that shit getting deferred or extended or whatever.
And then if he makes it to November and wins (hardly unlikely, given the direction of the current polling) he’s back to being Unitary Executive and immune to prosecution. And then we’ll get four more years. And if the country doesn’t collapse on itself after that, we get to restart the whole process and hope another four years of pretending to indict a former President now pushing into his mid-80s will mean anything.
Guy is going to die of poor health long before he sees the inside of a jail cell. The US justice system simply is not built to punish people like him.
Wow. I hate Trump but that headline fucking reaches.
It really does, people in this thread are smoking something. Only the best and brighest on Lemmy
You do realize “attacks” doesn’t imply physically, right?
I’d argue the wording strongly suggests a physical attack, however unlikely it may be. Noting it says tirade and attack separately as if a series of escalating events. In fact I was only interested in reading this article because I hoped it was an attempted physical attack which would really hurt his odds. Instead it’s just what we’ve already come to expect of him, not to excuse it.
tell us all how much you hate him
Did you actually read the article because that’s exactly what happens.
Help! I’ve been attacked! Well no, not physically. Why would you assume that?
Reading is hard, I get it.
You’re clearly not alone
It seems like you are buddy.
You act like you wrote the headline. Maybe you did, I really wouldn’t be surprised at this point. Either way, sorry but it’s a shitty headline.
I’m not the one complaining here. You’ve complained about it already in other comments on this thread, and you chose to complain about it again with me.
Yeah, nobody else is framing the situation anything like this article says.
Explain how it should be “framed”
Justice Engoron previously denied Trump’s ask to deliver part of the closing arguments when his attorneys refused to agree to terms that Trump would not attack the Court and violate Court rules.
“Your Honor, I have literally no control over my client. He’s essentially an aged, rabid dog at this point.”
Edit: lol, I haven’t gotten to this part of the article yet
Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump’s attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor’s alleged political motives, including what he called her “failed” run for Governor.
How did that dirtbag Roger Stone say it (but about people that, unlike donnie, didn’t do anything)?
It’s donnie’s turn in the barrel.

lmfao and the attorney will probably never get paid. God what those meetings must be like…
Kise has already been paid to the tune of $3M.
No attorneys will work for Donald Trump without a huge retainer up front.
Good attorneys will not work for him at all.
Damn did my ex-girlfriend write this headline?
