[BidenPresident]

In total, Trump uttered just 10 words during the hour-long hearing.

Excerpts from the indictment transcript in the people of the state of New York v. Donald J. Trump. There are six lines that read, from top to bottom, "DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Not guilty," "DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Yes," "DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Okay, thank you," "DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Yes," "DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: I do," and "DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Yes."

Most were one- or two-word responses to procedural questions from the judge. Together, they read almost like a haiku — a stark contrast with the rambling speeches, combative interviews and strongman’s bluster that have long defined Trump’s political persona.

Looks like he actually listened to his attorneys, bet that would not have happened if he was not successful at keeping the cameras banned.
