Seriously? Listen to Trump before you pass that judgement. But then again those that watch MSNBC don't do that, they get all their marching orders from the shows.

Of course he would perjure himself if he ever testified under oath.

Trumpy has difficulty constructing a sentence without slipping a lie into it.

But...he literally said that...

So we should not listen to him? I'm confused.

@#1 ... Listen to Trump before you pass that judgement. ...

I have.

Fmr Pres Trump is, imo, a serial liar. And the odd part about that is that Trump supporters seem to revel in the alternate reality of those lies.

My question is, though ... would he be stupid enough to lie under oath, or just plead the Fifth?

We dont need ORDERS to hate a person who attempted a coup against american democracy.

All it takes is brains and patriotism.

Trump gives Marching Orders. Proud Boiz, and Nazis take marching orders, Fishy.

Liberals do not get marching orders, nor do they take marching orders.

Listen to Trump before you pass that judgement.

He literally said he wanted to testify but he didn't because they would sue him for perjury.

BTW very stable genius (man, woman, person, camera, convicted felon) they don't SUE you for perjury, they CHARGE you with perjury.

"He literally said he wanted to testify but he didn't because they would sue him for perjury."

After he said he couldn't testify because of the "gag order".

And magatonians want this guy to be the chief law enforcer of the land. The guy is an idiot.

And a convicted felon!

I must be sure to remember to add his new title of nobility every time I can now.

Don't want to short change the man.

He has worked hard to earn his new title.

That's exactly what is happening.

How detached are you from Reality?

Supporting Trump has really fried your brain.

Der Dotard clearly misspoke. He does not possess the self awareness needed to recognize what he would say while testifying ...

@#12 ... Der Dotard clearly misspoke. ...

Or did he just lie? Again?

... He does not possess the self awareness needed to recognize what he would say while testifying ...

Actually, I was quite impressed when his lawyer(s) finally got him to try to obey the gag order.

So there's that.

But I am left wondering what Att Blanche had to say to fmr Pres Trump for that end result.

His lawyers in his previous cases have all blocked him from testifying for this reason.
