    I don’t know why people are acting like he won’t…

    This isn’t taking the stand as a witness, this isn’t presenting facts like a lawyer.

    And his lawyers will still say everything they were gonna say anyways.

    This is just trump knowing how much this will get his name out for something remotely positive. He isn’t speaking to the judge, he’s speaking to his followers. And this is going to bring in a shit ton of donations. He knows any sound bite is going all over national news for a day or two.

    He can say whatever he wants and lie about whatever. And everyone has to listen to him, it’s a captive audience of people that he believes hates him and are “witch hunting” him.

    trump is gonna be a trumpet in a subway car.

      First of all, he won’t present facts.

      Secondly, he is talking to the judge as there is no media allowed in the room.

      Third, the judge can stop his blather anytime he wants to, which is the reason he won’t do it.

        Never said he would, in fact I said he’d lie…

        Secondly, he is talking to the judge as there is no media allowed in the room.

        You legitimately haven’t read a single article about what was said in court?

        Third, the judge can stop his blather anytime he wants to, which is the reason he won’t do it.

        And the media would be entirely about how the judge stopped him from speaking…

        That’d probably be more donations than anything he could say.

        He gets to have the hypothetical that whatever he was going to say would prove his innocence
