Trump looked worn, worn out and broken as he left the courtroom ranting about various things that are not happening in America.
Trump said:
We have all been sitting in this court for eight days. All this is Biden's accusation. It is to win an election against a political opponent. And such a thing has never happened. Eight days. As you know, now the economy is collapsing. Now you see it through a little growth. It's about to get worse.
Oil prices are rising. You shut down college campuses. Our country is going to hell. And we sit here day after day, which is their plan. Because they think they can carry the election, but I doubt it because the poll numbers are so good for us.

Trump is a complete disaster because this trial has already destroyed him. Trump doesn't know what to do if he can't attack the court, the witnesses, or the jury, so he makes up rants and hopes other people will get angry and yell along with him.
With at least five or six weeks left in this trial, Trump is already falling apart. He can't stay awake in court, and not being in control of the situation drives him crazy. The lack of supervision also encourages her desire to come forward and testify, which would be a gift to prosecutors.
Seeing Donald Trump as a powerless defendant in court has diminished him. Trump is weakened and declining. As Sarah Jones writes in our newsletter The Daily, the bill is closing in on the former president.
