Trump bordered on incoherent as he spoke angrily outside the courthouse after jury deliberations ended for the day.

Trump said:
It's a Biden and witch hunt, it's weaponization. So it seems like there are a lot of witnesses, a lot of people that they could have called, but they didn't. Now of course they didn't call them, because they would have been very bad witnesses for them. But look at the list because of the silence order. I won't go into individual names, but you have a lot of big players, very big players who would have solved their problem or actually given us the win. We have already won. If we had a fair judge, this case would have been concluded long ago, but many key witnesses were not called. Look at your list, look at the players and you'll know who I'm talking about. You can take five or six. Why didn't they call as witnesses? They didn't call them because they would have been on our side.
And it's a shame and one witness in particular who is now suffering greatly because of what happened because of the cruelty of these criminals, the cruel people, what they did to that person and you know who I'm talking about and they did . Don't call him as a witness. They didn't call anyone as a witness and they could have called all these people and solved the problem. The other thing is that no one knows what the crime is there. No crime. No one knows what the crime is. The prosecutor did not mention the crime. I don't know what the crime is. That is the problem. It is a shame. This matter should be ended immediately. The judge should put an end to it and save his reputation.

Trump talked about Allen Weisselberg who he pays a $2 million severance package on the condition he never cooperate with authorities. Trump has essentially taken Allen Weisselberg's story and killed it.
Of course Trump wants the man he paid to testify. By paying off witnesses, Donald Trump could manipulate the trial so that he wins.
Trump's method consists of cheating or manipulating things so that he wins. Trump wasn't able to manipulate the process, so he's furious and, quite frankly, pointless, because he's finally running into something he can't buy off or control and that may hold him accountable.
