Trump Explodes in Unhinged Tirade in Courtroom, Attacks Judge and Prosecutors, Then Storms Out

Must be nice to be able to have a tantrum in court, yell at the judge, and then just be able to walk out.

I encourage everyone to try it sometime.

I encourage everyone to try it sometime.
Do fries come with that Contempt?
- Freedom to be in jail fries.
  *jail depends on tax bracket
Terms and conditions: Offer valid only for white or orange. Participant must be a republican or identify themselves as a republican. Offer not valid for women, children, and people of color other than orange, and poor. Don’t be poor.
- He might be one of half a dozen people who could get away with that in a US federal court.
  I wonder if Elon could get away with it.
Florida man tackled by bailiff?
Injustice Engoron says different rules for you plebs.
- The judge is trying to prevent any pretext to getting the case thrown out on appeals. It's bullshit but having all this hard work go up in smoke because a brainless judge higher up found a tiny fault in an unprecedented case would be horrid.

Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump's attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor's alleged political motives, including what he called her "failed" run for Governor.

Should have charged him with contempt.

Then some asshole judge in East Bumblefuck will charge Biden with contempt, for reasons
- So? If you let fear of fascist reprisal stop you from upholding the rule of law, then they've won.
- Joe Biden isn't on trial for anything.
- So what?
  Biden is not on trial. This would be an apparently senile judge yelling at the wind.
- This happened in Illinois, some downstate dipshit judge was going to hold the governor in contempt because of emergency declarations during COVID times. It was a political stunt by this jackass named Daren Bailey who then ran for governor and lost. Him and this other dumbass named Dan Proft are funded by the Uihleins who own Uline and are constantly trying to cause problems.
- Wait a minute. Judges can't make the right calls because other judges might make the wrong call?
  So the answer is for the first judges in question to make the wrong call?
  This is what happens when you engage in mental gymnastics. Things just stop making sense unless you're an idiot.

Disobeyed Judges orders so hes gonna be held in contempt right? Were not going to keep reinforcing to this child that he doesn't get any consequences right? . . . right? The US Justice system is doing this to itself, and every day it proves itself inadequate to contain this threat.

I agree that they're doing it to themselves, but it's not that it's inadequate. It's that they aren't treating him like a mob boss. They are presuming he has a shred of human decency and isn't a psychopathic narcissist ready to burn it all down out of pettiness and spite.
They've prosecuted mob bosses before, so they simply need to change their paradigm.
- No, they're treating him like the mob boss of a mob of millions of armed people ready to kill for him because that's what he is.
A normal person would've been tackled by the bailiff by now.

Baby Hands is such a snowflake

Snowflakes are actually cool. He's a fucking chud.
- A chudflake, if you will.
- snowflakes. so chill.
TinyHands McMushroomDick

He should have been arrested, cuffed, and hauled off to be locked up like anyone else.

Instead everyone will continue to coddle him, emboldening his jackass followers as if this course is somehow favorable to consequences.

Why is this a thing?? I don't get it. It's so stupid. Anybody else would get their ass handed back to them but he's the exception for some reason I can't fathom. Like, even if he has a lot of followers, so what?
- In this case, to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints that the judge was biased against him.
  And guess what? He has zero room for complaints. The judge has handled this pretty much perfectly.
Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up

Trump is such a pussy. Yes, I will judge anyone who still supports this weak, sad, mentally deranged man. People keep throwing around accusations of this and that is what is wrong with America, well, the fact that anyone even allows this traitor or anyone like him the time of day, is what is wrong with America.

Edit: I now realize the irony of the fact that it is important to know what is going on in the world, and to do that, we have to hear about all this stuff. Also, my comment is in no way directed at OP. Realizing how this may have come out towards OP made me realize the irony as well.

What really bothers me is if his supporters even hear of this at all it will be a wish fulfillment fantasy about telling your boss to go to hell when you rage quit your job (at an emotional level) and they will imagine Trump cooly dropping burn after burn on the judge before mic dropping, leaving everyone thinking Trump (who they have attached their ego to) is the coolest guy ever and the judge is a loser.
That's what is really sad. That, and the fact that they get to vote.
You're good, homie, no offense taken at all.

Why is he not sitting in a cell for contempt of court?

The judge is setting a bad precedent that is going to be used every single time he tries to hold anyone else in contempt ever again.

I think this is a case of "I know you're going to appeal and say I was bias. They're going to look at how much I let you do and get away with and laugh in your face." I think she's playing the long game.
- Couldn't anyone else that was held in contempt for doing the same shit down the road use this in their appeal though?
- I dunno, giving special treatment to certain defendants doesn't seem like "the long game" to me.

I'm not going to pretend that this is some grand strategy by Trump. He's an immature man-child and that's all there is to it.

But there most certainly is a strategy by his lawyers.

If their client somehow manages to make the judge "lose their cool" its fuel for an appeal/mistrial. So they really have no interest in ACTUALLY controlling his outbursts.

Isn't it typical for a lawyer to be held in contempt for not following court rules? Will there be contempt proceedings near the end of the trial?
- I've never heard of a judge doing such a thing at the end or after a trial, but it would be priceless to see the judge run down the laundry list of actions taken or not taken by the attorneys that they would be receiving fines for.

This title is hilarious compared to others I’ve seen. Makes it seem like shit was crazy. Like they’re trying to top the guy who superman’d over the bench last week. It wasn’t. He spoke and the judge let him. And the judge will make his decision soon so let’s see how the EXPLOSIVE UNHINGED ATTACKS work out for him.

Yeah I was going to say, "stormed out"? I've never seen a courtroom where the defendant could just leave, especially not in a case that's this high profile.
- He could "storm out" because it was lunchtime
- It's civil not criminal so defendant isn't required to attend
I'm guessing the only explosive or thunderous thing that happened was just Trump shitting his diaper as he waddled out.
this article- which I skimmed - seems like a left-leaning Fox News. Like massive hyperbole and exaggeration designed to get rage clicks
- Unfortunately that's the devolution of most media now... It's ridiculous.
  No no we can't be the media or the press and simply provide information, we are ad revenue companies masquerading as the press.
  Right, left, center, whatever. It's all devolving into click bait shit.
- Looking at it, it seems worse than Fox. It seems closer to Gateway Pundit or some awful shit like that.
Is there video of this speech?
- Not that I’ve seen (doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist), but other coverage I have read makes it seem way less dramatic.
Agreed. I thought there was some huge, unhinged rant. I only read about it, didn't hear it, but it sounds pretty tame compared to this description.

Snowflake behavior ❄️👶

When you're famous, they just let you do it.

Did anyone expect something different? He is a big child that never learned the meaning of tbe word "No". He simply cannot accept that someome sets real limits to his doings, so they must be wrong.

He has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I can't imagine why this isn't called out more.
Everything the man does is perfectly predictable (note the date!) given that context.

Definitely the actions of an innocent man. Lmao he's such a loser, and sore one at that. Hopefully they bleed his criminal organization dry with the verdict

He stormed out because he shit himself. Again. And was stinking up the courtroom. Again. If you watch the video, you see him holding his butt and waddling.

You're gonna make me look it up myself?!
- I would encourage you to just take my word for it, in this instance...
Don't be so hard on the guy. He just needed a diaper change. Happens all the time to babies.
Trump is terrible enough without making up blatant misinformation. That's the sort of fuckery MAGA dipshits do; you should be better than that.
How have you seen a video? I can't find one.
- I was making an educated guess.
Is there video of it? I didn't see any in the article and usually video isn't allowed in a courtroom no?

Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them this shit is unacceptable. Call over and over until their aides are sick of hearing your voice. Even if you aren't in the same party and you didn't vote for them. Let every gov't employee know enough is enough.

Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them this shit is unacceptable.
Hello, Mr. Ted Cruz? I'd like to file a complaint abou.... Oh, go fuck myself? No, that's fair. I'll just dial Mr Crenshaw and... Nope, it appears I'm being told that this phone call is uncivil and I can go fuck myself. Okay, well, you'll be hearing from my vote in a heavily caged and gerrymandered set of districts.
Call over and over until their aides are sick of hearing your voice.
Daily screaming matches with some telemarketing company paid to handle their calls will do more harm to me than to any of them.
What the fuck is that supposed to accomplish? They don't directly influence the judge. This comment makes no sense to me.
Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them this shit is unacceptable.
This has never had any impact on anything and idk why you people are so deluded into believing otherwise.
DONATE (bribe) to your representatives. That's what they listen to.
I guarantee, not a single senator will read anything anyone here ever sends to them.
- When is the last time you called yours?

Why does this petulant child keep getting away with shit?

💸
I remember when a judge gave a girl a harsher sentence just because she was smiling.
Justice for the rich is not the same as justice for the poor.
It's another reason why every poor person who thinks the disparity in wealth should continue to grow is a fucking idiot.

I hope they slap him with contempt again.

At this point I'd be happy if they just like literally slap him.

Stormy Daniels out?

like Naxx out?
- I was just wondering if Trump stormed out of the court room or if he Stormy Danieled out. I've heard he does that sometimes. Rumor has it that he even Jeffrey Epsteins around from time to time - but only when he is not John Doeing.

I hope this is used as precedent by so many people to have tantrums in court and walk the fuck out. and that all of legal history looks back on this judge for causing this with his desire to let trump do whatever the fuck he wants without significant, meaningful repercussion.

Unfortunately what happens in a situation like this in court is up to the judge to handle.
Trying to use this as a precedent on how you're treated would be laughed at by other judge.
But... if you happen to have this judge, that would he very interesting to see.

Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump's attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor's alleged political motives, including what he called her "failed" run for Governor.

lmfao and the attorney will probably never get paid. God what those meetings must be like…

Kise has already been paid to the tune of $3M.
No attorneys will work for Donald Trump without a huge retainer up front.
Good attorneys will not work for him at all.

I wish the judge had simply replied “would you like cheese with whine?” and then locked him for contempt of court.

careful now, drumpf. that hamburder heart might just do the world a favour...

my money is on him having a stroke, but yeah-- he's old and in shitty health. there's only so much more of that crap he can pull before he drops dead of something.

Since when is the client allowed to deliver a closing statement anyways

I'm sure Trump just wanted to talk... And... If I'm the prosecution I'd probably be OK with it, banking on this exact outcome. Haha

Sounds like someone needed some Baby Shark and a snack. Poor kid.

Damn did my ex-girlfriend write this headline?

You know when you are playing Phoenix Wright and you have the antagonist in the corner and they blow up near the end...

No objection from me

Sooo... a pretty standard Thursday then?

Does someone have a link to the video ?

Here
- What a man child lol
- Wow, he really handed their asses on a plate in that video.
- Ya got me.

So, he accused everyone else of being him and then shuffled out like Grandpa Boomboom

Justice Engoron previously denied Trump's ask to deliver part of the closing arguments when his attorneys refused to agree to terms that Trump would not attack the Court and violate Court rules.

"Your Honor, I have literally no control over my client. He's essentially an aged, rabid dog at this point."

Edit: lol, I haven't gotten to this part of the article yet

I was sure this would be an Onion article. Jesus.

Now take everything from him.

Like a spoiled child who was forced to share his toys. What a baby. I sware, there are certain developmental milestones that are impossible to hit if you grow up rich.
