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.

    His legal team is really bad, but they are not stupid. They can’t trust Trump to no go off script while under oath. They want him to spend as little time up there as possible before he perjures himself. That’s why they declined to cross examine him.

      Imagine trying to argue that a person who isn’t competent to speak in his own defense should be president. I wish our electorate was better informed.
