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.

    Wait, his OWN TEAM didn’t have questions for him, their own client? It’s a civil trial, they could have asked him anything, he could have had the whole court room listening to aIl the stupid bullshit he was trying to say in answer to the state. No questions?

    I… can’t fathom taking the stand in your own defense and then not having any questions from your own attorneys. How about: “did you do it?” “No, I did not.” Or “why is the da trying to railroad you.” “Magamagamaga”.

    No questions is unfathomable.

      His legal team is all to well aware that Trump under oath is a ticking time bomb. He’s got not verbal control what so ever and liable to admit to wrong doing as a casual boast.

      His legal team is really bad, but they are not stupid. They can’t trust Trump to no go off script while under oath. They want him to spend as little time up there as possible before he perjures himself. That’s why they declined to cross examine him.
