Trump is now being asked whether the valuations of a number of his properties are accurate.

Instead of answering yes or no, Trump is giving speeches about how and why he invested in various properties.

Again the judge asks Trump's legal team to stop the speeches.

"I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can't, I will," Judge Engoron says.

The state is asking about a 2021 financial statement. Trump says he thinks it's accurate - he hopes so.

“I was so busy in the White House,” he says, adding his focus was on “China” and “Russia”.

"For the record, you weren't president in 2021 were you?" prosecutor Kevin Wallace asks.

Trump says no.

Bwahahaha! What an idjit he is.

I’m surprised he didn’t hang on the fact he was president for the first three weeks of the year

this would require he be aware of that fact, which i do not think he is.

Wait but I thought he was actually still president? One of his well-dressed and articulate supporters told me so!
