s a "witch hunt" and a "hoax," insisting that he had done nothing wrong. Despite objections from the judge, he continued to interrupt and speak over the opposing counsel, displaying his trademark combative and confrontational style. As the trial progressed, Mr. Trump's behavior only grew more erratic and bombastic. He repeatedly referred to himself in the third person, proclaiming his innocence and greatness in equal measure. His bombastic rhetoric and refusal to back down only served to further polarize the courtroom and incite heated exchanges with the judge and opposing counsel. In the end, Mr. Trump's belligerence and bravado may have won him some supporters in the courtroom, but it ultimately failed to sway the jury. The former president was found guilty of civil fraud, a verdict that he dismissed as a politically motivated attack on his character and legacy. Despite his protests and protests, the court's decision stood as a testament to the power of the law and the importance of accountability, even for those who consider themselves above it.
