Did Trump act like a dumbass? Absolutely.
Would he have been slapped with anywhere near 65m in punitive damages if he weren't Donald Trump; if any other person had engaged in the exact same behavior? Hell no!
The judge went out of his way during jury selection to remove people who had any bias. If there were jurors with bias, it's up to Trump's team to find them. They have the right to object to jurors.
The reason Trump got hit with high punitive damages is not because he's Trump. It's because he flaunts his wealth and continues to defame her even after he already lost a court case for defaming her.
This is the system working as it should. If he won't stop the penalties will continue to escalate.
and it's hilarious that you think Trump got worse treatment when Trump consistently, even in this case, dodges sanctions. He tried to testify that he thought the case was a sham, even when he was instructed that he is not allowed to testify against things that have already been decided in court, and stormed out interrupting the proceedings. Anybody else would have spent a night in jail.
