Donald Trump often takes the breath away with his defiance of the basic norms of American public life. (See: January 6th.) But sometimes it’s the smaller encroachments on decency that serve as a reminder of how far outside the bounds he operates. “Can you control your client?” Judge Arthur Engoron demanded of Trump’s lawyer, during the former President’s testimony on Monday in Manhattan, where he stands accused of running a fraudulent business in the state of New York. “This is not a political rally. This is a courtroom.” Later, after yet another Trump soliloquy in response to a yes-or-no question, Engoron repeated his entreaty. “I beseech you,” the judge said, “to control him if you can.”

    But he’s lying about, cheating and bullying those people they hate.

    They’ve been being fed the propaganda for decades that the foreigners are going to come and take their jobs and rape their women and steal their cars. They know that they’re behind on votes, so the only way to get the job done is what he’s doing. And the white Dems standing in their way, supporting all these foreigners he just pisses them off so much, which tickles them to no end.
