BREAKING: Donald Trump shoots himself in the foot with a deranged, apocalyptic speech to end his New York civil fraud trial — shocking the courtroom.
It's like this lunatic wants to lose the massive $370 million lawsuit...
Trump was barred from giving a formal closing argument, but he still unleashed a barrage of conspiracy theories and whiny complaints, even going after the judge himself.
Judge Arthur Engoran asked Trump if he would follow the rules requiring him to keep his remarks focused strictly on the case. Rather than say he would comply, Trump launched into a diatribe.
"We have a situation where I am an innocent man,” Trump blurted out. "I’m being persecuted by someone running for office and I think you have to go outside the bounds."
"The person in the room right now," Trump said, about New York Attorney General Letitia James, adding that she "hates Trump and wants to stop Trump from getting elected."
"This is a fraud on me. What’s happened here, sir, is a fraud on me," Trump said, before accusing the judge of ignoring him. "I know this is boring to you."
"Control your client," Engoron said to the MAGA attorneys. He then told Trump he had a minute left to ramble, let him do it, then cut him off, and adjourned for lunch.
Closing remarks resumed without Trump himself present.
What embarrassment nachos for Donald Trump himself, but for the entire country. He simply cannot help himself, and should never step foot anywhere near the Oval Office ever again..
