I’m far from a legal scholar but this is his testimony to give. Blow it out your arse, judge. He’s doing his thing and you’ll accept it while it happens. Your opinion on his testimony shouldn’t impact his ability to give it.

Yeah, that's not how it works. At all.

While I generally agree with the above statement there are some potential issues. If it is Trump testifying on his own behalf (ie direct) and being asked questions by his lawyers he should be allowed to testify and whatever manner he chooses.

However, if he is being cross examined there are parameters that a Court can require he follow.

For example, many times of court will instruct a witness to simply answer yes or no to a question without hyperbole.

You are required to actually answer questions in a remotely reasonable way. If you are simply not answering them at all, being argumentative, being hostile etc, then there are some consequences for that.

I have no idea if Trump is answering them and they just don't like the answers, so this is not a judgment on him or this proceeding, just a comment in general.

Could be worse.

In the afternoon session of October 29, Judge Hoffman ordered [Bobby] Seale to be bound, gagged, and chained to a chair. According to John Schultz, when the jury was allowed into the courtroom, juror Jean Fritz began weeping, and other jurors "squirmed hard in their seats at the sight."

On three days, Seale appeared in court bound and gagged before the jury, struggling to get free, and at times managing to loudly insist on his right to defend himself. On October 30, in open court, Kunstler declared, "This is no longer a court of order, your Honor; this is a medieval torture chamber."

Trump is baiting the judge into showing his bias. He knows it’s a show trial, so the goal is to do this so he has a strong appeals case

Leftists are easy to enrage. “If your enemy is of choleric temper, irritate him. Pretend to be weak, so that he may grow arrogant”

Thinking Trump is running that courtroom and not the judge, definitely not a legal scholar

Any lawyer will tell you this is not true.
