Trump Erupts On The Witness Stand As His Defense Collapses: ‘The Fraud Is On The Court!’

During his testimony this morning as part of an ongoing fraud trail against him and his company, former president Donald Trump exploded under cross-examination and accused the court of being a “fraud” and also attacked New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the case against him.

The disgraced ex-president began complaining from the moment he took the stand, telling presiding judge Arthur Engoron that he shouldn’t have to explain anything because all of his financial statements included a disclaimer.

In response, Engoron told Trump, “If you want to learn about the disclaimer clause, read my opinion — for the first time.”

Things went downhill from there, with Trump suggesting the court had no right to question him or his business practices.

“I think it’s fraudulent the decision. The fraud is on the court,” Trump insisted.

Then came the lashing out at James, with Trump railing, “The fraud is her!”

That was followed by this outburst:

“He called me a fraud, and he didn’t know anything about me!” Trump shouted. “You knew nothing about me…you believe this political hack back there!”

Keep digging that hole deeper, Donnie. The only person you hurt is yourself.

Don Jr. Gets Trolled On Social Media After Urging Courtroom Sketch Artist To ‘Make Me Look Sexy’

At the end of his testimony Thursday in the New York fraud trial brought by state Attorney General Letitia James, Donald Trump Jr. made a request of the courtroom sketch artist that has set off a flurry of mockery and trolling on social media.

HuffPost reports:

After Donald Trump’s oldest son concluded his testimony, he asked artist Jane Rosenberg to “make me look sexy,” according to Reuters, which hired her to cover the Trump family trial.

He even suggested an example he thought might inspire her: A flattering courtroom portrait Rosenberg did of Sam Bankman-Fried that Don Jr. said made the former cryptocurrency mogul look like a “superstar.”

Make him look sexy, huh? There’s a better chance of making a wildebeest look like a peacock.

Reaction to Junior’s comments on social media were on-point.

If Don Jr. wants a way to look better than he does, perhaps he should try putting a bag over his head.

Tish James Claps Back At Trump: There’s Enough Evidence Of Your Crimes To ‘Fill This Courtroom’

After he stormed out of a New York courtroom Wednesday in response to a $10,000 fine imposed on him by Judge Arthur Engoron for violating a gag order, 77-year-old juvenile delinquent ex-president Donald Trump told reporters that he’d just been exonerated by a witness in his fraud trail.

“The witness just admitted that we won the trial and the judge should end this trial immediately. Thank you.”

As with 99.9% of the things that issue forth from Trump’s mouth, the statement was a complete and total lie and has absolutely no basis in fact. It was merely a way for the multiply-indicted former head of state to try and save face.

In response to Trump’s childish conniption fit, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the massive $250 million fraud case against Trump and the Trump Organization, released a video in which she rebutted all his lies.

“The defendants counsel attempted and failed to discredit our entire case,” James noted. “But our case is the result of a four-year investigation that is based on hundreds of thousands of documents and many, many witnesses.”

 “As the judge said today, ‘There is enough evidence in this case to fill this courtroom,'” James continued.
“And he already ruled in our favor and found that Mr. Trump engaged in this fraud.”

The video concludes with James looking into the camera and declaring, “When you have build an empire on falsehood the truth is your only enemy. And we will continue to present the truth in court.”

Tish James is not taking any of Donnie’s bullshit. She’s countering his fraud and lies with the truth, and that’s how you win in court: With facts.

Letitia James Has The Perfect Response When Trump Calls Her A ‘Racist’ At NY Fraud Trial

Ever since New York Attorney General Letitia James first filed suit against failed former president Donald Trump, accusing him and his company, the Trump Organization, of financial fraud, the ex-president has been constantly attacking the AG, accusing her of being a “racist” because she’s black and he’s white and even nicknaming her “Peekaboo” James.

Until today, James had not responded to Trump’s many insults and taunts, but she more than made up for her previous silence with what she said during a break in the trial that could financially destroy the Donald and his family-owned company.

According to Stewart Bishop of Law360, James let loose, remarking:

“He’s called me venomous, he’s called me disgraceful, he’s called me a radical, he’s called me a racist and this is only week three. None of this, which can best be described as performative, can change what’s happening in the courtroom.”

She added:

“And the evidence is clear, that he inflated his statements of financial [condition] to enrich himself and his family. And nothing will change that, not the attacks on me, or anyone.”

Tish James is absolutely right, but she forgot some other terms that also perfectly describe the one-term, twice-impeached former head of state:

  • Bigot
  • Pathological liar
  • Pervert
  • Loser
  • Indicted criminal
  • Douchebag

When the fraud trial is over with, it’ll be fun to see what else James has to say about Donnie.

Why Did Trump Suddenly Abandon His New York Fraud Trial? Mary Trump Explains

On Wednesday, failed former president Donald Trump acted like a petulant toddler and suddenly decided he would no longer attend the ongoing New York fraud trial that could cost him hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and penalties.

Business Insider reports:

“I’d rather be right now in Iowa,” Trump said in a parting shot to reporters at the start of the lunch break, midway through the trial’s first week.

“I’m stuck here because I have a corrupt attorney general who communicates with the Justice Department to keep me busy,” he said, leaving the third-floor courtroom, where the future of his real-estate empire is set to be decided over the next two to three months.

What prompted the disgraced one-term, twice-impeached ex-head of state to suddenly leave the proceedings after two days of scowling and threatening comments about the presiding judge?

According to the Donald’s niece, Mary Trump, it’s all about the embarrassment.

Writing on her Substack newsletter, she noted:

“He showed up in New York voluntarily because he knew how important this fraud trial is not only to his reputation but to the core of his own beliefs about who he is.”

“He left because he knew nothing he did—the pouting, the angry stares, the media hits—was working.”

“That plus the humiliation of falling off the Forbes 400 were too much for him to take.”

Trump had also said that he would testify at some point in the trial, though that seems highly unlikely. Even if he does, it’s likely he’ll cling to his Fifth Amendment privilege and refuse to say anything for fear it would open him up to even more charges.

Absolutely nothing is going well for Trump right now. He’s on the verge of being flat broke and possibly headed to prison. No wonder he doesn’t want to show his face in public.
