His lawyers have to resort to antagonizing the court because they have no case or legitimate strategy to work with.

IDK if they are trying to make the judge lose it, and then call for a mistrial.
I don't think they're that smart.
There should be a thing... For when you are disrespecting the court in violation of due process... Like when someone is not showing proper deference... Being contemptuous even. If only we had something like that, and judges that are willing to use it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump was threatened with expulsion from a courtroom last week by a judge angry over the former president’s behavior in a defamation case brought by a writer who accuses him of sexual abuse.
In arguments that seem to cater more to the client than to the court, Trump’s attorneys have repeatedly invoked his front-runner status in the presidential race despite its questionable relevance, echoed his claims of prosecutorial bias and political persecution and advanced sweeping theories of legal immunity before skeptical judges.
But with Trump a semi-regular courtroom presence, the encounters might also serve a political purpose, with the candidate seeming to invite tongue-lashings from judges to bolster his claims of judicial system bias.
This month, Engoron rescinded permission for Trump to give his own closing argument at the trial after his lawyers balked at a directive that the statement could not veer into political rhetoric.
One venue where the Trump team has gained more traction is in federal court in Florida, where he’s charged with illegally retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
The judge in that case, Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, has appeared receptive to defense lawyers’ contention that the trial might need to be delayed beyond its scheduled May 20 start date.
The original article contains 1,161 words, the summary contains 210 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Do you think Trump has seen her bare breasts?
Edit: to the downvoters. You know there’s something about her, and Donnie’s character history that tells me he didn’t really hire her for her legal acumen.
Yes.
But has she seen Don’s fat floppy old tits?
Like pancakes with a solitary baked bean in the middle.
