Well, sort of actually. A judge’s main job is to make sure that a trial is fair and everyone sticks to the rules. And they have pretty wide latitude for enforcing that. I’d be pretty surprised if Trump was able to start blathering on about Hillary or stolen elections or whatever in that setting.
He can’t say whatever he wants, he has to stick to the case and what was presented
Do you honestly expect him to face actual consequences for breaking that rule?

And it plays out as expected. Judge makes sure he knows he can’t say whatever he wants and now he doesn’t want to do it.
There also is a court stipulation that a fraud was committed, so he can’t address that.
