Trumpie testified yesterday in the civil fraud case against him, summoned by the prosecution. He had no legal choice but to sit in the witness box. He acted the way he always acts, the outraged victim of unfairness, defiant, angry, entitled. The judge told him to stop making political speeches and answer the questions. His lawyer, Alina Habba, stood in front of the courthouse during the lunch break claiming the judge wouldn’t let him speak, echoing her boss’s talking points about unfairness, partisan prosecution, the racism of the Black attorney general, witch hunts etc. As the battle for America’s soul plays out, inside the courtroom and in the ignorant court of public opinion, Lawrence O’Donnell had a very good take on the Orange Polyp’s perfect day on the witness stand.
