The troublemaker scolded by the New York judge for acting up in the courtroom happened to be the former president of the United States.
Conservative attorney George Conway appearing on CNN's "The Source" with Kaitlan Collins said everyone is witnessing "classic Trump" who he believes happens to be a very unwell person.
"This judge is really one of the smartest federal judges in the country and one of the toughest, but fair," said Conway. "He had it exactly right when he said 'I guess you can't control yourself.'"

The federal judge Conway's revering is Judge Lewis Kaplan and in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, he nearly tossed the 45th president out of the courtroom for interrupting the proceedings with comments like, "This really is a con job.”
Trump, who is 77, appeared in-person on the day that 80-year-old E. Jean Carroll took the witness stand to testify about her name being dragged and the toll she endured from defamatory statements he made as president starting in 2019, denying he even met her and that her accusations of sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in the mid-1990s were baseless.
The judge told Trump he could oust him from the courtroom for being "disruptive" and Trump countered again and again, "I would love it."
Fed up with the antics, Kaplan told the jury: “Mr. Trump has the right to be present here. That right can be forfeited, and it can be forfeited if he is disruptive, and if he disregards court orders."
“Mr. Trump, I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial. I understand you are very eager for me to do that,” he told him.
Trump was seen lifting his hands in the air and again said, “I would love it, I would love it."
Kaplan seemed to have given in saying, “I know you would because you just can’t control yourself in this circumstance.”
Conway believes such unruly behavior by the former president on display in open court exposes his troubling emotional issues.
"This case is actually a nice microcosm of Trump's psychological condition," he said. "It's important we start talking about that... he is a narcissistic sociopath."
"The jury is getting to see it up close and personal."
