"This is not a political rally," Donald Trump is told as he testifies in case that threatens his real estate empire.

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.

    Trump has just spent the past five minutes airing his frustrations about the New York fraud trial while on the stand.

    He points his finger at New York Attorney General Letitia James as he yells that the “political hack back there” is carrying out the probe to hurt him.

    At the end of the rant, Kevin Wallace of the attorney general’s team asks him, “You done?”

    “Done,” Trump says, prompting some laughter from the courtroom.

      The courtroom is just laughing at Trump now. Anyone’s who’s spent time in court knows how well it goes for those who rant instead of testify.
