Trump celebrates his 'conclusive' testimony after day of brutal grilling on witness stand

Former President Donald praised himself for what he called "conclusive" evidence after he testified at his $250 million fraud trial.

During his contentious appearance on the witness stand, prosecutors grilled Trump to prove damages in the fraud case. The witness repeatedly gave them the ammunition they were looking for.

But following his testimony, Trump claimed to have the upper hand.

"This is a case that should have never been brought," he ranted outside a New York courthouse. "It's a case that should be dismissed immediately. The fraud was on behalf of the court."

Trump repeated his claim that the court had found his Mar-a-Lago home was worth "only $18 million."

"They had no idea what the numbers were when they said $18 million for Mar-a-Lago. And it's 50 to 100 times that amount by any estimation. It's a terrible thing that's happened here. We're taking days and days and weeks and weeks, and it goes on, and then you look at the outside world and what's happened," he said, trailing off.

Trump then referred to his own testimony.

"And this is a case that should have never been brought, and it's a case that now should be dismissed. Everybody saw what happened today," he said. And I think you saw what I had to say today and it was very conclusive."

"Everything we did was absolutely right," Trump added. "To think that we're being sued and spending all this time and money and yet people [are] being killed all over the world that this country could stop. With inflation and all of the other problems that this country has, I think it's a disgrace."

Trump cited his improving poll numbers before saying it was "a bad day for America."

"But anyway, this is a case that should have never been brought, and it's a case that should be immediately dismissed," he concluded.
