Nothing further. Franklin is off the stand.

Judge Merchan has asked attorneys to approach the bench.

After seeing the passage with the words of his mother, the court is shown another passage from the introduction and an excerpt from the acknowledgements page where Trump thanks the co-author/ghostwriter Meredith McIver, Random House editors, publishers and publicists.

Prosecutors are stressing to the jury that Trump wasn’t just a name attached to the book but was responsible for the words inside of it.

We see this from Trump’s book: How to Get Rich:

“Trust in God and be true to yourself” –MARY TRUMP, MY MOTHER

When I look back, that was great advice, concise and wise at once. I didn’t really get it at first, but because it sounded good, I stuck to it. Later I realized how comprehensive this is–how to keep your bases covered while thinking about the big picture. It’s good advice no matter what your business or lifestyle.

Mangold on redirect: “In your experience do ghostwriters ever write entire books without the author’s knowledge?” No.

“Create content without any input from the author?” No.

“The author works for the ghostwriter or does the ghostwriter work for the author?” The ghostwriter works for the author.

In another excerpt, from the chapter “How to Stay on Top of Your Finances,” Trump writes that “every dollar” spent by his company comes out of his pocket.

That’s it for the prosecution. Todd Blanche is up for the prosecution, suggesting that ghostwriters did the bulk of the work on Trump’s books.

In the chapter “How to Pinch Pennies,” he defended the time he deposited a check for 50 cents.

He also said: “I always sign my checks so I know where the money is going.”

We also hear his defence of “bargaining for business services … even in high-end shops.”

“I hate paying retail and it makes me cringe when I see other people doing it,” he writes. “You’d be amazed at the discounts you can get if you simply ask.”

Ms Franklin is familiar with the 2004 book How to Get Rich: Big Deals from the Star of The Apprentice by Donald Trump with Meredith McIver.

Franklin reads a portion of the book, where Trump writes in a chapter titled “Sometimes You Still Have to Screw Them” that if “someone screws you, screw them back.”

“Go after them as viciously and as violently as you can. Like it says in the Bible, an eye for an eye.”

Now we see the cover of Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate and Life.

Above the title, in all caps, is a massive TRUMP.

“What is the largest word on this page?” Mangold asks.
