How do right wingers not see this as fucked up?
They either don't know anything about the law, or they don't care about upholding the law.
I can't see any other explanation.
Is that based on your expertise in enforcing the law, and in addition, the expertise in litigation involving criminal matters involving state and federal laws?
No, my expertise is in consumer law. In the distant past I've studied/had training on civil procedure, rules of evidence law, cross examinations for criminal cases, etc., but I ultimately decided to keep criminal law as a hobby rather than a profession.
Anyway, none of that really matters. A child with a basic understanding of how courts work can see that Trump is breaking the rules and ignoring direct instructions from the judge. It's a pretty basic idea that both sides should make the best arguments they can, and shouldn't try to intimidate witnesses or undermine the authority of the judge.
Any adult with critical thinking skills should be able to discern why, for example, Trump keeps pretending that he wants to testify but makes up excuses for not doing so. Or why Trump's statements to the media are so different to his statements in court.
And then anyone with a background in law enforcement should immediately be able to see right through Trump, because they deal with people like him every day.
