Donald Trump ‘wants to deliver some of the closing argument’ in his fraud case and Mark Hamill summed up perfectly

The civil fraud case against Donald Trump, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, is drawing to a close and is likely to have an interesting last day.

Trump, who stands to face fines of up to $370 million for allegedly inflating the values of his properties in order to obtain substantial loans, apparently plans to speak during closing arguments.

FIRST ON ABC NEWS: Former Pres. Trump intends to personally deliver part of the defense's closing argument at the conclusion of his civil fraud trial in New York on Thursday, sources familiar with the former president's strategy tell ABC News.https://t.co/crm3qaFNX4

Judging by how scathing he has been about the validity of the case – not to mention the oddity of many of his comments on windmills and magnets – it’s quite possible that any statement he makes will add a hefty chunk of money to his fine.

These reactions have it covered.

That should at least double the financial penalties.
The only infinite object in the universe that can be viewed from Earth is Trump’s ego.

If this happens and there's no video, I will be very, very sad. This could be the biggest Netflix comedy special of the year. https://t.co/xbNSaM0TCZ

If this is true, there can be no doubt that Alina Habba is completely incompetent. NO competent and experienced lawyer would permit this – NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Mark Hamill imagined what Trump’s prep might be like.

…and he's been binge-watching Perry Mason reruns to be completely prepared! https://t.co/mM6vbYVzhK
