Here's What Donald Trump Whined About During His Outrageous Fraud Trial Testimony

Wow, so tough, so strong.

Nothing says 'tough guy' like whining, pouting, and throwing a fit like a child over how unfair your fraud trial is.

Former president Donald Trump took the stand Monday to testify in his ongoing fraud trial in New York, and it went exactly how you'd expect.

Trump made numerous claims under oath, all returning to his belief that the trial is politically motivated. At one point, the former president said he was worth "billions more" than Attorney General Letitia James, who he claimed is a "hater" trying to "demean" and "hurt" him, according to NBC.

“I think she is a political hack,” Trump stated.

Trump also sparred with Judge Arthur Engoron, who began by telling him to "please move it along and answer the questions" as he rambled. The Judge repeated phrases like "the question was" and "let me ask again" numerous times, before he ordered attorneys Chris Kise and Alina Habba to "control" their client.

"That was a simple yes-no answer. I beseech you to control him," Engoron said, later adding, "We are not here to hear what he has to say. We are here to have him answer questions."

"It's not that simple," Habba replied.

Which prompted Trump to moan: "This is a very unfair trial. I hope the public is watching."

The court adjourned immediately after, taking a brief recess in the middle of Trump's testimony. When he returned, he began answering questions more directly, but did not spare Engoron from his ramblings about his Manhattan properties.

Trump is accused in part of overvaluing his New York real estate by exaggerating their sizes, including overestimating total square feet, and lying about the number of floors on a building. At one point, the former president lost his composure and raised his voice at Engoron, calling him a "fraud" whose comments about Trump properties are "a terrible thing."

Once Trump finished, Engoron simply asked: "Done?"

To which the former president said: "Done."
