with ask former president donald trump. they sat for hours of proceedings. just like any other defendant facing charges. the state of new york. thrust from his big podium. he was forced to face reality. for once he was not allowed to say a single thing to defend himself. he had himself described as a racist, sexist, narcissist. he is very selfish and self- serving. he was presented with social media calling for officials to lock him. one woman was struck from the jury pool after the legal team discovered one year social media post. i would not believe donald trump if it is tongue was notarized. a lawyer added that this got punch. she had said that he was everything that she was taught about love. the courtroom has the ability to chip away at somebody's armor. even when that somebody is as outrageous and larger than life and. and he seemed to last like the republican front runner more like a child being disciplined in grade school.
avoid, judgment. it will be an intense weekend for the lawyers putting the finishing touches on opening arguments, tweaking strategy, and for the defense preparing a client who is famously uncontrollable and who has spent this week as "politico" puts it, having to sit and listen to strangers insult him, quote, trump has heard himself described by a those under consideration as racist, sexist and a narcissist. he's been presented with a social media post calling for officials to lock him up. he's been told to his face that he's very selfish and self-serving. with the prosecution about to make its case and the judge planning to rule on whether trump broke the gag order, the opinions of would be jurors are just the beginning. nbc's vaughn hillyard reports from outside the courthouse. i also want to bring in former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, paul butler, jury consultant, alan turnen halftimer is with us as well. apparently the pressure is
he's going to be accosted with a lot of material, a lot of tedium, and, you know, what does that do to a man who, as you call it, is a psychopathic narcissist? >> is a narcissistic sociopath. >> sorry. >> he's a psychopath, also. >> tomato, tomato. what has it been like, i mean, as you have watched this proceeding unfold, you describe the place, the building in which it is unfolding as kind of a beehive of activity, and it is also incredibly mundane, right? >> right. it's a standard issue office building built during the work projects administration, 1938 to 1941. it is, as one pool reporter put it, drab. it's plain. it's ordinary. it's spartan. and it's very functional. and it's not, you know, there are no goldplated toilets, there are no, there's nothing fancy about it, and, i mean, it's sort of, it's very not trump like. and it's, it's not an environment that he would want to be associated with, even if
you can't guarantee that he will be able to control himself. >> he will have to listen to it day in and day out. he has to be there for all of this. he gets a break on wednesdays. he will be accosted with a lot of material, a lot of tedium. what does that do to a man who, as you call it, is a psychopathic narcissist? >> he is a narcissistic sociopath. yeah. he is a psychopath also. >> tomato, tomato. what has it been like as you watch this unfold? as you describe the building in which it is unfolding? it is a beehive of activity and yet it is also incredibly mundane. >> it is a standard building, the projects administration, 1938 to 1941. as one reported, job. it is plain. it is spartan. and it is very functional. so it is not, there are no
he will deliver chaos. he knew the claims of a stolen election were false, and yet he decided he was going to try to stay in office by subverting that process. there was very grave wrongdoing here. and i think it's reasonable to say that it falls within the obstruction of a proceeding. >> our country can't be a therapy session for, you know, a troubled man like this. he is a constant narcissist. he will always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else including the country's interests. still ahead we'll turn to sports with the latest action from the nba's play-in tournament as teams fight for the final playoff spots. we'll also break down the details surrounding the lifetime ban for a member of the toronto raptors. plus highlights from major league baseball when "way too early" comes right back. or league baseball when "way too early" comes right back.
on the street. that's ultimately the court of public opinion that he's more interested in than the public opinion, if you will, of the jury or the judge. >> and i think that he is playing to that crowd that he wants to keep loyal and hoping that this jury somehow would be mesmerized by just his presence because he's that much of a narcissist. and -- but that's why he also knows like in new york, we used to fight -- i'd barnstorm and all of that. he doesn't like people that will fight back because like when he's saying the judge won't even let me go to my son's graduation, and i would have said, is that the kid that your wife was having when you were going out with the porn star? i mean, is that kid now 18? it would totally rattle him. he likes to go where he's the only one throwing stuff. he can't take a punch back. >> in your life you've probably talked to him 40, 50, 60 timings. >> i've barnstormed him.
