Former President Donald Trump told the anti-Trump judge overseeing the E. Jean Carroll trial that he would “love it” if the judge threw him out of the courtroom.
The penalty phase of Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll’s civil case against Trump kicked off this week, just as Trump comes off a historic victory in the Iowa caucuses, besting his closest rival by nearly 30 percentage points. But on Wednesday, things got heated in the courtroom after U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan essentially threatened to throw Trump out of the courtroom.
“Mr. Trump, I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial. I understand you are probably very eager for me to do that,” Kaplan said, according to reports.
“I would love it,” Trump responded. “I would love it.”
“I know you would because you just can’t control yourself in this circumstance,” Kaplan reportedly told the former president, who shot back, “You can’t either.”
The Messenger provided context to the exchange, explaining that “the warning from the judge came after Shawn Crowley, an attorney for plaintiff E. Jean Carroll, raised the issue of Trump speaking loudly enough to potentially be in earshot of the jury.”
In September, U.S. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that Trump defamed Carroll — who accused Trump of groping and raping her in a Bergdorf-Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s — in 2019 when he denied that he raped her.

This judge is a biased ass, but what Trump said there constitutes contempt of court. The big guy should be glad he's not spending the night at Rikers Island.

You can't take the reality TV out of egotistical ass, especially when they know it will fire up their base....so yeah Trump would love it :shrug: As for me this behavior is one more reason on an already sky high pile of nope never again.

His base loves this stuff but absolutely he is playing with a potential contempt of court charge. The judge probably doesn't have the balls to put an ex-President in jail.
This guy is exhausting. If he wins in 2024 we have 4 more years of this kind of stuff. And I cannot take Biden either.

He most certainly is. It’s like dealing with a 2-year old, only Trump has a slightly larger vocabulary.

Her allegations are ridiculous and completely unbelievable. Her lawyer should be sanctioned for filing a frivolous complaint.
