Summary
Donald Trump testified in his New York fraud trial and attempted to turn the proceedings into a circus with combative, non-responsive, insulting, and absurd testimony.
Glenn says this is precisely what defendants do when they know they can't win on the facts: they attack the prosecutors, the judge, and the process that is trying to hold them accountable for their wrong-doing. The type of testimony that Trump exhibited isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness. It's not a sign of confidence, it's a sign of fear.
Glenn reviews some of Trump's desperate, unpersuasive, and often unhinged testimony before Judge Arthur Engoron in New York and tells of some similar testimony he has experienced in the past..
