Mr. Trump said:
Everyone saw what happened today. I don't think I need to explain anything. I won't be allowed to do it anyway because this judge is corrupt. He is a corrupt judge. This judge, what he did and his sentence, is shameful. Everyone saw what happened today. I had to go back to campaigning because he is a corrupt judge and completely inconsistent. I shouldn't be here.
We are so innocent. Nothing like that had ever happened before. Analysts, read all the legal analysts, I'm innocent, but I'm stuck in this courtroom with a completely inconsistent and corrupt judge. Let's take a look at his struggles. It's an embarrassment to New York City, New York State, and this country.

Trump was furious at his best. Clerk Dante's impression was, „He's a corrupt judge and totally divisive. I have to get back to campaigning. I shouldn't be here. ” he said. pic.twitter.com/8NPxNTr1hS

Trump was furious after losing two claims in court.he lost the motion Stormy Daniels exempted from gag order after that he lost the motion for a mistrial It is based on Daniels' testimony that he hit the former president with a magazine.
President Trump is furious that he can't control speech about what happens in court, but his whining about the judges is a reflection of the frustration of defendants who are beginning to realize they are about to be convicted. It sounds like that too.
The former president and his lawyers appear to be preparing for an appeal against a possible conviction, and Trump's fiery rant, in his remarks about the trial, was less about his campaign and more about his fate. It was one of the few moments where it wasn't about. I might be waiting for him by the end of the month.
