In the middle of the defense arguing that the prosecution is deliberately trying to provoke a mistrial, the judge’s [phone went off](https://god.dailydot.com/rittenhouse-judges-ringtone-trump/) to the tune of “God Bless the USA”, which is practically the MAGA national anthem. It was sung at Trump’s inauguration.
