Trump is now being asked whether the valuations of a number of his properties are accurate.
Instead of answering yes or no, Trump is giving speeches about how and why he invested in various properties.
Again the judge asks Trump’s legal team to stop the speeches.
“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will,” Judge Engoron says.
Well, we finally had a courtroom laugh moment. Prosecutor asked Trump about his involvement in financials from end of 2021. Trump said his focus at that time was on China and Russia and “keeping our country safe.” Courtroom laughed. Note: Trump wasn’t president in 2021.
I really want to see his reaction to the courtroom laughing at him. I think this is the first time he is experiencing direct humiliation.
Obama got him pretty good in 2011
The UN also laughed at his face.
That was my favorite part of his presidency.
I liked the flash cards he found to be very effective.
Man I miss Obama! I can’t think of another president that was more human.
He’s the only president in my lifetime who could actually land a joke
Haha yeah I loved how he caused the deaths of so many innocent people through the largest growth in drone strikes.
Truely he seems so genuine, I’d love to sit down for a beer with him and Bush and than proceeded to kill myself for being a fucking idiot and having any favourable view on these scum.
What’s more human than murder?
Stay in school, kids.
I’m somewhat convinced that this moment was when he decided to run for President.
Trump’s revenge moment.
When Walter became Heisenberg
He had the entire UN laugh at him.
Yeah where the hell are the clips I thought this one was televised… or allowed cameras?
Guarantee he thinks everyone laughed because he had such a great response to the question it made the prosecution look dumb.
Is this not perjury?
Are you allowed to blatantly lie and just walk it back when called out?
Perjury is more than just saying something factually wrong on the stand. Republicans spent years talking about how getting trump in a courtroom was a perjury trap because he would make a small mistake like recall the January 12 of 2011 was a Saturday and then they prosecution would be like, “no it wasn’t and now you go to jail because we hate America”. In reality, perjury basically takes someone knowingly and intentionally entering testimony that is false. Simply forgetting that he wasn’t president at the time would not qualify.
NAL but I think if Trump had argued he was still the President during that time period instead of admitting he wasn’t, then it would have been perjury.
