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.
He’s a fucking baggy minge that cunt.
I don’t understand your comment, but I’m behind the general spirit of it!
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.
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.
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.
If he hasn’t learned what “don’t piss off the judge” means by now his ass is grass. Grass that smells like shit.
His lawyers fucked up and the judge, not a jury, gets to decide liability. Really stupid to attack the person in charge of the ultimate outcome of your case.
Source?
Iirc liability and damages usually go to the jury and there’s only very specific circumstances based in law where the judge can take over liability, so that might be really interesting.
Edit: my bad
His lawyers forgot to ask for one. There were a dozen articles floating around this morning about it.

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.
