He's probably thrilled that Lindell is destroying his defense, committing new offenses, and he doesn't really care about being called an 'ambulance chaser' or 'disgusting' 50 times.
I imagine, if he dislikes Mike Pillow, he was ecstatic. This guy is digging himself a deeeep hole. Oh my his lawyer tells Mike to calm down and hour and half in. Oof.
Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he's only barely containing.
For those who don't know who that is, from Wikipedia:
Michael James Lindell, also known as the My Pillow Guy, is an American businessman, political activist, and conspiracy theorist. He is the founder and CEO of My Pillow, Inc., a pillow, bedding, and slipper manufacturing company.
Lindell is a prominent supporter of, and advisor to, former U.S. President Donald Trump. After Trump's defeat in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Lindell played a significant role in supporting and financing Trump's attempts to overturn the election result; he spread disproven conspiracy theories about widespread electoral fraud in that election. He has also been an active promoter of unproven medical treatments.
This was a fun watch. I thought maybe that he might be a even just a little less combative when the next day started, but no, straight back into it.
I guess when he started off abusing the lawyer less than 10mins after he met him, that was how this was going to go. Hilarious that the court stenographer refused to come back for another day, I can't imagine their professionalism is easily tested!
Watching dude get sucked into the trap where he thinks that dominating this conversation is what's important here is just 😙🤌so sweet. The only thing that could be more fun to watch is his face as what he said gets read back to him in a courtroom and he realizes that feeding his ego in this moment is gonna be what costs him his case.

He complained the judge wouldn't rule on his motion to dismiss. The next week the judge denied his motion to dismiss. The sanctions request was filled yesterday, so they haven't responded yet, but we do know that whatever they send will be taking advantage of the "excess pages" rule that their lawyer was too stupid to abide by when they first submitted their motion to dismiss and got it stricken twice. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63296393/coomer-v-lindell/
Mike Lindell is trying really hard to convince us that we are all taking part in a Mockumentary, and he's just a paid actor who is doing a comedic bit. The only thing that's missing for me in this video is the intro from The Office and the camera panning to Jim every now and then, who looks like he's trying hard not to laugh.
Is this propaganda? Looks like you could add an American flag overlay and an eagle at the right times, and call it "Honest to God businessman and his employees, vs. the unrelenting steel hand of Justice", or something... wonder how many people will see it like that.
This was so much like the wrestling promos/interviews I watched long ago I kept seeing a stone faced Mean Gene Okerlund holding a mic up to Lindell. It has the same disjointed intensity. Surreal.
I mean, he's an extremist reich-winger, of course he's not okay. Unfortunately very few of them manage to unfuck themselves, usually because they just don't have the capacity to deal with a complex world
