Or, you know, not:

Donald Trump, however, acts as if these rules or law just don’t apply to him," lawyer Roberta Kaplan said. 

In the wake of a $5 million verdict for sexual abuse and defamation last year, Trump didn't stop going after Carroll. 

“No, not at all," Kaplan said. "Not even for 24 hours.” 

Shortly after, Trump stood up from the defense table and walked deliberately out of the courtroom. Senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan noted his exit for the record. 

"The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose and walked out of the courtroom," Kaplan declared. 

The judge then instructed Trump's attorneys at the defense table — and his associates in the gallery — to remain seated.

That is about the stupidest thing you can do in a jury trial. It’s the act of a petulant child, not of a 77 year old man.
