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.

People like him cannot experience humiliation.

He would never admit feeling humiliated, but I'd wager his entire personality is shaped around covering for his profound internalized shame and insecurity

He's a massive narcissist. Covering for profound internalized shame and insecurity is the psychological profile of a narcissist

Maybe only if it somehow penetrates their narcissistic mental shields. Then humiliation immediately turns to rage.

Nah, I don’t think that’s true. The dude is insecure as fuck, he kinda laughs stuff off, but inside he’s fucking frothing at the mouth and then unleashes it on twitter. In response, he’ll just double down with his bullshit and play it off, but in private, he writes people down on his “list”.

Im pretty sure if we took his wealth and connections away so that hed have to gasp get a normal job to survive hed be very humiliated.
