He should not be allowed to hold a press conference inside the courthouse

[theresacoffeen]

I thought they had said there would be no media allowed in the building? The media is giving him the opportunity to go on and on BS.

Every legal scholar? Really? Dude, time to wake up.

Nov 2016 Donald Trump said, "A candidate under federal investigation has no right to be running. Further, it would be virtually impossible for a president under indictment to govern.""

His lawyer is standing there looking at him like can you please shut up.

[juandiegofm]

Trump: I call it legal expenses...I was paying legal expenses!
I hope his lawyer advises him to keep lying, because there's a tape of Trump and Cohen discussing these payments...and they know it wasn't for legal expenses. His mouth is the final nail.

Why are there microphones set up? Get rid of the mics ffs

Why do news outlets even broadcast his “speeches” before and after each day’s trial session? He always spews the exact same insults, exaggerations & lies. It’s not even newsworthy. By broadcasting his daily tirades, you’re giving him exactly what he wants. Why don’t the news outlets cause him to have a complete meltdown by not broadcasting his nonsensical rants?

[curtiseverett]

I'll be glad when the day comes when I don't have to watch him do that ridiculous nonsense with his

[bobwoods]

Trump keeps saying the same thing over and over. Sad desperate old man.

[francineblack]

[rebellerify]

Commit crimes you end up in court silly man

[zvjolmb]

This guy is a nut don't let him back in WH, when his mouth moves he's lying

[Max-zgci]

“Mr Trump, do you plan to stay awake for this trial?”

[moorefacts]

Compare this Harangue outside the courtroom to his silence when he is given the opportunity to be his own witness. Still trying to poison the proceeding.

[alexisnogueras]

He shouldn't even be given 2 seconds worth of air time. It's a repetitive BS

[nanekkii]

Which pundits? Can he tell us? Also, same crap, different day… no one believes you. Criminal…

[SusanKay-]

Excuses, excuses. Tell it to the judge.

[mariagoode]
