Donald Trump won’t make his own closing argument in his New York civil business fraud trial after his lawyers objected to the judge’s insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.

It’s better than that. If he was allowed to ramble incoherently, the judge may have been forced to declare a mistrial, or any judgement could have been overturned on appeal, citing bias.
That his lawyers agreed that he wouldn’t follow decorum is the surprising thing, to me, and we should all be glad he’s not allowed to make any statements.
His lawyers probably don’t want to work for him any longer than necessary. If they were smart they got paid in advance for this trial.
A Trump never pays their debts
The Trumps are kinda like the Lanisters tho
In 5 years I wouldn’t be surprised to read about these current set of lawyers suing him for payment and him saying something like “they wanted a lot of money for being a bunch of losers. Why should I pay?” assuming he’s still alive and hasn’t died due to old age and cheese burgers by then.
