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.

I really want to see his reaction to the courtroom laughing at him. I think this is the first time he is experiencing direct humiliation.

I'm somewhat convinced that this moment was when he decided to run for President.

I'm sure that's the case. "We all know about your credentials and breadth of experience." And the crowd laughs already, before he even gets to the punchline of firing Gary Busey. Dude's been a complete joke for decades.

When Walter became Heisenberg

[-] Tedesche@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Indeed. And of all the shit he’s done, I think this is what pisses me off most: it worked.

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 33 points 1 year ago

The UN also laughed at his face.

[-] AmberPrince@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

That was my favorite part of his presidency.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I liked the flash cards he found to be very effective.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

Man I miss Obama! I can't think of another president that was more human.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

He's the only president in my lifetime who could actually land a joke

[-] zzzz@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

People like him cannot experience humiliation.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 32 points 1 year ago

He would never admit feeling humiliated, but I'd wager his entire personality is shaped around covering for his profound internalized shame and insecurity

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

He's a massive narcissist. Covering for profound internalized shame and insecurity is the psychological profile of a narcissist

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Maybe only if it somehow penetrates their narcissistic mental shields. Then humiliation immediately turns to rage.

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Nah, I don’t think that’s true. The dude is insecure as fuck, he kinda laughs stuff off, but inside he’s fucking frothing at the mouth and then unleashes it on twitter. In response, he’ll just double down with his bullshit and play it off, but in private, he writes people down on his “list”.

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Im pretty sure if we took his wealth and connections away so that hed have to gasp get a normal job to survive hed be very humiliated.

[-] AmberPrince@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Guarantee he thinks everyone laughed because he had such a great response to the question it made the prosecution look dumb.

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

...and by extension, his cultists will believe this too

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

He had the entire UN laugh at him.

[-] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah where the hell are the clips I thought this one was televised... or allowed cameras?
