    “I’m not a windmill person,” he said at one point.

    “I have a castle,” he said at another.

    Of his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, he testified: “At some point, maybe in my very old age, I’ll go there and do the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. Aberdeen is the oil capital of Europe, very rich,” Trump began to say, but he was interrupted by the judge shouting, “Irrelevant!” Trump murmured, “It is.”

    Hours into his testimony, Trump attempted to read from a piece of paper he retrieved from his pocket. “I’d love to read this, your honor, if I could. Am I allowed to do that?” Trump asked. The judge said no.

    On his way out of court, Kise further applauded Trump’s performance, telling reporters: “In 33 years, I’ve never had a witness testify better.”

    This would be a blockbuster comedy if it wasn’t real

      Now I’m just imagining him reading a chapter of Shakespeare or something, like he thought he was in literature club.

      Not that I could imagine Trump visiting a literature club, but I can imagine him thinking it.
