Engoron should have let Trump throw his tantrum until he was done.

Much like a child does when they don't get their way.

You let them throw their tantrum and then once they stop throwing their fit ask them if they fell better now.

Assumes that t-rump has enough brains to learn anything from it. A 2 year old does but he doesn't.

Trump is the toddler who is the exception to the rule in the OP -- he started throwing a tantrum at age two and never stopped.

They had 6 minutes left in their allotted time before the lunch break. #Traitor jumped in to speak without permission.

Engoron instructed Chris Kise to get his client under control. Kise stood there mute as #Traitor ranted so Engoron cut the mic and adjourned (it seems from court observers that the judge just walked out which ends the proceedings but those details are a bit sketchy on exactly how it ended other than the mic cut).

Tbh, letting #Traitor rant takes one more issue off of the appeals table - he would have tried to argue that he never got to speak. Now he got it in and it’s removed as an issue
