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.

And it's done.

The attorney general's office says they have no further questions.

Donald Trump's team declines to cross examine him. He is excused from the stand, as his testimony is now over.

Wait, his OWN TEAM didn't have questions for him, their own client? It's a civil trial, they could have asked him anything, he could have had the whole court room listening to aIl the stupid bullshit he was trying to say in answer to the state. No questions?

I... can't fathom taking the stand in your own defense and then not having any questions from your own attorneys. How about: "did you do it?" "No, I did not." Or "why is the da trying to railroad you." "Magamagamaga".

No questions is unfathomable.

No questions is unfathomable.

Not when your client has chronic diarrhea of the mouth

diarrhea of the mouth

There is a word for that: Logorrhea

That's a reason not to call him at all, not a reason to only let the state ask him questions.

The more he talks the more likely it will go badly for them. Probably the right choice.

He probably insisted on speaking
