"Mr. Kise -- can you control your client? This is not a political rally. This is a courtroom," Judge Engoron told Trump attorney Chris Kise following a politically charged answer from the former president. He added, "Maybe you should have a talk with him right now."
State attorney Kevin Wallace then restated his question, and Trump responded briefly. Within minutes, Engoron grew frustrated again.
"Stricken, stricken, stricken," the judge shouted from the bench.

"This is a situation where you have on the stand a candidate for president of the United States. Being here takes away from that effort," Kise said. "The court needs to hear what he has to say about these statements."
"No, I am not here to hear what he has to say," Engoron shot back.
When Alina Habba attempted to weigh in, Engoron raised his voice, telling her, "Sit down already! Sit down."

@nursefrombirth His antics in this civil trial could provide a basis for defense in his criminal trials. It's very plausible he is mentally incapable of answering a simple direct question. Man, woman, person, camera, TV.
Exactly what he wants everyone to believe. Insanity defense.
@LnzyHou @nursefrombirth Not mentally able to answer questions for 5 minutes straight. But just fine to run the country, hold his tiny fingers above the nuclear launch button, and competent to tell the difference between that and the Diet Coke button. Yeah, if I had a red hat way too tight on my head cutting off blood to my brain I could believe that.😜
