The former president was scheduled to take the stand Monday as the monthslong, $250 million civil fraud trial against him and his company enters its final week.
He already lost. Summary judgement at the outset. At this point, it’s just about how badly he lost. And Engoron does not appear to be a fan of his behavior.
My bet:
He’ll come out and say that “they won’t even let me take the stand at my own trial, rigged!”
If he loses the trial, he’ll blame the lawyer that didn’t want him to testify, and claim they were part of the deep state.
It’s also extremely disheartening that I had to say, “If he loses” and that I have no faith in our justice system anymore.

My bet is he and his lawyers will find ways to appeal all of his current trials until the day he dies so he will never actually feel any punishment.
I assume that’s actually the plan
