BREAKING: Donald Trump freaks out on his own attorneys after they botch the proceedings in his hush money trial — getting off to the rockiest start imaginable.

This is a hilarious way for things to begin...

The embarrassing outburst occurred right after Trump and his attorneys returned from lunch recess. The MAGA team were arguing over their own collective failure to produce documents under New York discovery laws.

"Justice Merchan tells Trump’s attorneys they have 24 hours to do so, or such evidence will be precluded from use," reported Stewart Bishop of Law360. "Trump counsel Todd Blanche complains, says that’s not enough time, what with jury selection and all."

It was at this point that Trump lost his cool.

"This is where it gets interesting," reported Katy Tur of MSNBC. "Donald Trump is now personally getting involved here. He's pushing Todd Blanche — his lawyer — to fight harder about these documents and this compliance saying that they need more time."

"What do you make of Donald Trump getting into this, Catherine?" Tur asked Catherine A. Christian, a veteran of the Manhattan District Attorney's office. "Getting up and telling his or getting into his lawyer's face and telling him that he needs to fight, to fight harder?"

"It's going to be a long trial for Mr. Blanche because he is out of control," said Christian. "He is one of those clients that you hope to not have because if he's acting this way now, he's going to do it throughout the trial."

"In terms of reciprocal discovery, prosecutors really have more of the burden in New York," she added. "The defense is supposed to also turn things over, but the consequence for them not doing it are not as severe as for prosecutors. So, this will not be a major issue."

If this is how the trial is starting, just imagine how it's going to end...
