According to reports out earlier today, President Trump was warned by Far-Left Judge Engoron that he was not allowed to speak in his own defense in closing remarks in his New York City “fraud” trial.
Washington and the boys must be rolling over in their graves!
I’ve lost count of how many Constitutional protections this Judge has violated in this case, but here are just a few…
No right to a Jury Trial — President Trump requested one and was denied.
Multiple gag orders have violated his Right to Free Speech.
Right to confront your accuser — President Trump has never been able to confront his accuser in this case because there is none! There is no victim! No damages! No one was hurt. In fact, the banks who the Attorney General claims were hurt by the financial statements have gone on record saying they were happy to have President Trump as a customer and they have no claims against him at all. All loans fully repaid with interest!
Latricia James couldn’t present one piece of actual physical evidence against President Trump.
She couldn’t even present a victim.
Any other lawyer would fired and disbarred for this huge abuse of power for political purposes.
Trump is innocent as usual and will be vindicated.

And now the latest….
Now the right to defend yourself in Court and your right to Free Speech — especially testimony in Court — has been stripped away.
Or at least attempted to be stripped away because after those initial reports came out, the tables turned and President Trump spoke anyway!
You gotta love this man!
Way to go sir, always defend yourself and always speak up for justice!
After he left the Courthouse, he was greeted by waves of Cheers and Applause:

The People’s President!
Fox News reports how things changed so abruptly….apparently, the Judge asked if President Trump would “abide by his rules” and President Trump just started speaking!
I love it:

Here is President Trump himself:
TRUMP: “It’s a shame. It’s a witch-hunt in the truest sense of the word. It’s election interference.”
Fox News had more details:
Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that his “legal issues” have been “set up” by President Biden and the Democrats, declaring that it is “their new form of cheating” in the election.
Trump held a press conference at his Manhattan property at 40 Wall St. on Thursday after closing arguments were delivered in the non-jury civil trial stemming from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit against him.
James sued Trump, his family and his business empire, claiming he inflated his financial statements and deceived banks. Trump has denied any wrongdoing. The former president has repeatedly said his assets were actually undervalued. Trump has repeatedly said his financial statements had disclaimers, requesting that the numbers be evaluated by the banks.
Trump has been in court twice this week — once in a federal Appeals Court in Washington D.C., as he argues presidential immunity from charges in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 case; and again Thursday for James’ case in New York.
The court appearances came just days ahead of the first-in-the-nation primary contests in Iowa — the Jan. 15 Iowa Caucuses.
“My legal issues, every one of them, every one — civil and criminal ones — are all set up by Joe Biden. Crooked Joe Biden,” he said. “This is something that’s never happened in this country, even when you look at this, this is all about Biden.”
“This should never have happened,” Trump said of the New York trial. “But again, this is sponsored by the Democrats.”
Trump pointed to charges against him in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified records case, to which he pleaded not guilty. Biden is currently under special counsel investigation for the same thing, allegedly improperly retaining classified records.
“I just hear where they want to try and exonerate Biden, and he didn’t have the Presidential Records Act. And I do. I did nothing wrong,” Trump said. “You can’t have two tiers of justice in this country.”
Trump pointed to reports that James met with Biden in 2022 and 2023 at the White House.
“They’re doing it for election interference, and, in a way, I guess you’d consider it part of the campaign, because if you really look at it, they are doing this, and it’s never been done like this in this country. It’s like we are a Third World country — a banana republic,” Trump said.
But Trump continued on, touting his poll numbers, in which he leads Biden in a head-to-head match-up.
President Trump and his attorney Alina Habba then held a Press Conference.
I have the full presser for you here:
Democrats destroy the integrity of elections, they destroy the integrity of the FBI, they destroy the integrity of the DoJ and now they destroy any trust and faith anyone could possibly have in the justice system. Sure, if you’re a leftist, you can rely on the judicial weaponization benefitting your ideology, but what if YOU needed a fair trial?
While every single one of the four cases against Trump make a mockery of justice, it seems they just got progressively worse, with this one being the most “in your face” blatantly political of them all. If you like fascism, you are ecstatically in your element right now, but this is a national embarrassment exposed to the entire world.
You’re all aware that Trump spoke during closing arguments only because the judge permitted him to speak, right?
After he tried to censor him… right?
No. Not right.
Wipe the drool ill informed one.
Well, actually, yeah… right.
Wrong he defied the Judges stupid biased
From the AP I believe this one you approve of.

The judge permitted him too? You do not need permission to exercise your constitutional rights! He also tried to censor what Trump was allowed to say. You are a hack!
Mikey is a teacher from the most illiterate state in our union, not only cant he read the headline of the thread, his maturity of comment is nuh-uh, brilliant he is not.
Concise and insightful, “Jane.”
Tell it to the judge.
Hey dope he did, and what did he really have to lose?
“mikey”
Yeah, the judgement was made before the “trial” started, some biased, prejudiced, reactionary “judge” assessed Mar a Lago to only be worth $17 to $25 million, so Trump is wrong and fraudulent in all his (his employees’) evaluations. Engomoron knows more about real estate value than those in the business. Denying a jury trial, lame Latitia and Engomoron decide Trump should be penalized $250,000,000 and banned from doing business in NYC forevermore because no harm was done, there were no victims, no losses by anyone, no complaints FROM anyone and, thus, no fraud or crime.
Sounds pretty fair, huh?

It matters not what the judge rules in this bizarre case, the appeal will totally rebuke the deranged judge.
But Latitia and Engoron will high five and scream “We won! We won!” and enjoy their 15 minutes of fame. That’s all that matters to them; they wasted millions of everyone’s money just to take their shot at Trump. Hopefully, every real estate developer in NYC takes note of this fascism and moves out.
