@futurebird When Microsoft was on trial in the 90s I believe they were actually performing a strategy of pissing off the judge so much (lying to the court, etc) that when he finally reacted like a human and snapped back at them they could claim to the press/appeals courts that the judge was biased (and it worked, they effectively got the whole thing thrown out on appeal).
To be honest I'm not sure I'm right about Microsoft. But I feel pretty certain Trump is doing this.
