Donald Trump sums up the prosecution's closing arguments in Truth Social post

As the prosecution resumed its final arguments from the Manhattan courthouse following its return from lunch, Trump made one-word posts during a lull in the proceedings.



 

Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass informed Judge Juan Merchan that he was approximately one-third of the way through his summation to the jury after 90 minutes, The Hill reports.



 

The report states that Trump's legal team completed its summary in a little over two hours. A jury will soon decide Trump's fate over 34 charges of falsifying business records. Moreover, hours of closing arguments won't change the fact that the prosecution never did show an underlying crime, retired New Jersey judge Andrew Napolitano informed Newsmax.

Napolitano said, "The government not only must prove that the 34 deceptive payments were recorded inaccurately, but that they were done to mask an underlying crime. The government hasn't, in my view, presented that beyond a reasonable doubt. It's just suggested what it might be."

A user also said, "There has to be more. I'm about to pass out on the couch, what am I supposed to filibuster?" while one added, "Yes we know that’s what you do. You lie in paragraphs."



 



 

A person also mentioned, "Somebody, please give him a coloring book!" while one noted, "Do you have any idea what happens after a conviction? You go to intake, you go on and get strip searched, change clothes, Then they’ll shave your head and and get you ready for General Pop, where you get to meet your boyfriend".
