For the Don, decorum be damned.
Former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg was astonished by the flagrantly uncouth display by the former president inside the Lower Manhattan courtroom on Thursday where closing remarks were made in Trump's $370 million civil fraud trial.
"It's so hard to sit there in the courtroom and see somebody have so much disrespect for a judge, for the court of law, for how these proceedings are supposed to work," she said during an appearance on CNN's "The Source" with Kaitlin Collins.
Trump's turn to open his mouth came after three lawyers delivered their traditional closing arguments.
Christopher Kise then asked Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron if Trump could share some comments, and without agreeing to abide by certain conditions, Trump launched into his diatribe.

“What’s happened here, sir, is a fraud on me,” he said, accusing officials of singling him out and doing so because they “want to make sure I don’t win again.”
He then started in on Engoron, accusing him of ignoring him.
“I know this is boring to you,” he told the judge.
Then Engoron snapped at the attorneys: “Control your client."
Greenberg, who was seated in the courtroom, said the display was bizarre.
"The attacks on — the personal attacks on the judge — this is a judge who had a bomb threat this morning," she said. "That's why the amount of security that was in the courthouse was unlike anything I have seen. and I have been other days when various Trump family members have testified, and this was heightened.
"They were very concerned about threats."
Indeed, someone threatened to set off a bomb at Engoron's Long Island home early Thursday morning.
The threat drew several cops to his home and was believed to try and stall the proceedings.
For Greenberg, she had hoped that the former president would get a tongue lashing.
"I'm waiting for the judge to tell him 'You're done and if you continue you'll be held in contempt!'"
"That's what happened to me and any other lawyers happening in courts and it was not done."
Engoron is expected to render a verdict on Jan. 31.
