Donald Trump on Thursday accused the New York judge in his civil fraud trial of “having your own agenda” - and the judge told his lawyer to control his client - as a months-long case that could hobble the former U.S. president’s business empire neared its end.

During a contentious final day of the trial in Manhattan, Trump once again tangled with Justice Arthur Engoron, who is considering what penalties to impose after earlier finding that Trump’s company inflated his net worth to win better financing terms.

“You have your own agenda. I understand that you can’t listen for more than one minute,” Trump said in court, as he denied wrongdoing and repeated claims of political persecution.

    He still can’t grasp that he’s already been found guilty of fraud. Like, months ago.

    Also rape, and there’s the whole “failed coup” thing, selling top secrets, the straight up election fraud. And others.

    Is it any wonder he’s leading the republiQans? God they love his bloated, shit-smelling, orange-slathered ass, don’t they? Truly fucked up.

    Pot, meet kettle.

    What a doofus he is.

    Hold 👏 him 👏 in 👏 contempt 👏

    I totally get the other judges doing things by the book to reduce the chances of things getting overturned on appeal. But FFS, that behavior is way out of line.

    Supporters chanted his name as he left.

    No matter how bad my life gets, I’ll always be able to say “at least I didn’t stand outside a courthouse in winter to give moral support to Donald Trump.”
