awwww. It's great watching him make a fool out of himself. over... and over... and over... and over...
It's actually Democrats making fools of themselves because this nonsense has been going on for almost a DECADE and Trump is dominating the polls.😝😝
When the incomes which is not long from now, we will not make it to election. They will not give up power and you will not have select grid or the ability to survive at a grocery store. But keep clapping your hands and jumping up and down that trump cannot complain Or defendant himself. And you're cool with him. Not being able to talk and defend himself. By the first amendment doomed, do we are because of your target people that don't know the difference.
Guilty people are often afraid of taking the stand.
His lawyers tried to shut him up…I think it’s finally sinking in.
But he is the least guilty criminal in the million year history of GOD BLESS THE USA.
Tell the truth and it's the truth, that's it.
Tell a tissue of lies and you need a really good memory.
Trump hasn't got one, he'd cave under cross-examination.
Smart people are afraid of taking the stand as well. Don't get me wrong I think he is guilty but a refusal to take the stand is usually the smart move.
@@SirStanleytheStumblerwhat do you call people who say over and over that they’re going to testify and then inevitably back out?
I’m shocked! Who could have predicted that the former president would be a liar and a coward?
LMFAO
This man can NOT stop lying! Of course he can testify.
I hope he's dumb enough to use that as his opener to the appeal as it will roll eyes and get tossed immediately.
What a dumb ass and his lawyer is forced to play along as you can read his face and body saying it's not true
😂 … I’m going to be just as shocked, when he says he won’t debate Biden
He'll fall asleep at the podium and start farting in the mediators faces...
He's like all bullies, a little coward at heart.
Especially when he says he cant because of the GAG order
Biden should call his bluff
LOL so wait he lied--shocker
Witch hunt halfwit
Trump lied again after going on national tv and telling America he would testify....gee what a surprise.🤣🤣🤣
He is related do Pinocchio
She New he was married he new he was married both was in the wrong
bwok bwok bwok. what a big chicken. 🤠
Unfair to chickens.🐔
Cheeto never was going to testify, just more drama.
*The pathological liar never had any intention of testifying.*
Just put him in jail.
How misinformed you have to be to believe that a Gag order prevents the dependent to testify 😂😂
Misinformed enough to be the republican presidential candidate. 😱
Nope. "Misinformed" enough to know his moronic followers will _believe_ the gag order prevents him from testifying...along with all his other lies...including the lie that he *_would_* testify!
He’s an idiot but even he knows that on the stand he will have further charges for perjury
@@michaelfarmer1565 His followers are the misinformed..believing all his lies.
He knows it but his league of goobers is stupid enough to believe him
He never testifies.
He was never going to. He always full of s***
LOL,How Shocking.
Defendant Trump doesn't have the cojones to repeat what he says outside the courtroom on the stand in court without pleading the fifth. Trump talk is cheap.
Surprised? 😅 He's scared! Go on Trump..testify! You know your stable genius testimony will put everything right ! 😁
Melania should force Trump to testify.
45's big Yap
What a surprise… (not)…
Calling him a coward would be mean to cowards.
It's the same as every other trial. Yes, I will no I Won't.
Well bugger me, I would never have guessed this was coming!
The devil is often referred to as The Prince of Lies
And father of lies and man of lawlessness. Trump has the devil, Satans receipts.
His lawyers are afraid he would doze off on the stand and start farting in the judge's face.😂😂😂😂
Defendant can testify even if their lawyer doesn’t want them to lol
Even in Russia, Saudi Arabia where it doesn’t matter they still let the defendant testify 😂😂😂
His lawyer just nods along. These people are clowns. 🇺🇸💙
This may be the first time Trump has ever listened to his lawyers.
Tod Blanche has his cowardice on full display. I’ve not seen anything like it since Ulvalde.
He wasn't goig to testify in the first place - he's a liar...
The Question I would like posed David,
“Is Trump Afraid to Testify”?
Yes, he’s not brave enough 😅
Donny making a false statement, really, seriously? hmmm. how strange.
Those lawyers would rip him to shreds.
What a surprise NOT Vegas had the odds of trump testifying at 1billion to 1.
Did anyone see that coming
He was never going to testify to begin with. How many times does the settings on a testify and then never did
He is such a liar. He knows testifying will absolutely get him charged so he claims he isnt allowed to testify and his cult believes him. Ridiculous. Absurd. He just lies and lies and they believe eveey single lie. Total depravity
Juries are told to not consider the defendants decision not to testify as an admission of guilt but juries are human and always wonder 'If you are innocent,why not tell us why you are innocent"?
You are right. He said that to his Cult followers.
We all know that he would never take the stand
Enlightening to see a President behave so malicious, intentionally at that. To add insult to injury, a select few within the supreme court are defending this type of individual. This is some crazy sheet!
Lol..Asvif we all didn't already know He was Never going to Testify..Him having a Gag Order ' Doesn't have Nothing with him Testifying & We all know it..!!
Chicken nugget?
Of course, fisrt he said he would and now ,its a different story, coward
No sh*t Sherlock. Nobody thought he would take the stand. He'll just magasplain NY judges and DAs wouldn't let him.
Maybe he's have a better understanding of the courts procedures and orders if he would stay awake.
Yeah, we all knew that before he did😂😂😂😂😂
When you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys.
Does 45 public statements and zingers count for anything.
Your dang tootin.
Of course he won’t. Did anyone really think he would testify?
His lawyer would not want him in the stand, he'll screw any chance he has.
And this is the least of his crimes
Again, he's simply unbelievable and worse yet, has no shame in his incessant lying. How anyone could want this mess of a man for president is beyond me. I've known he was a fool since the 80's.
The last time Trump testified in open court was in the civil lawsuit , E. Jean Carroll, and he started spouting off political nonsense and the judge told him to stop talking nonsense.
No balls Donnie strikes out again……
Geez. Trump looks like he’s rotting from the inside out.
It's entirety up to him.
Moreover, he's just gonna plead the 5th on every questions again like in his depositions.
The judge should make CLEAR that Trump CAN testify if he want. Or the crazy people would think he couldnt testify.
Why would Trump not want to prove his innocence?
New tie, same suit.
He wont take the stand...hes the Bigleyest but smartest but no one knows more about the stand than i do but but butt butt of all world amd hes a coward..vote blue💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
What a surprise. 🙄
What...a guy who is innocent, will not testify for himself.....imagine that.
not a fan of civil rights i see
@@user-fm8rc4zh4h Nah! All I see is you that don't know about upper case letters or punctuation. tRump, on the other hand, has received a whole-gang-of-criminals' worth of Civil Rights, by virtue of the fact that all his delays and appeals have been allowed to follow (slowly and sickeningly) the letter of the law, rather than be tagged "frivilous", then tossed. Yeah, Civil Rights is *_EXACTLY_* what has allowed this circus to drag on this long. In any event, come Roe-vember, Justice will finally prevail! *_HERE COMES THE BLUE TSUNAMI!!_* 🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙
Wouldn't his lawyer be in some sort of legal hot water for this?
No response at all from lawyer would have been a safer/more professional response vs that crazy tilt-a-whirl nodding agreement. Big time caught off guard. Lawyer usually has a better poker face.
Not surprised.
Kernel chicken afraid.
"I cannot testify because....." translated from Trumpspeak into English means " I know I lied about testifying but this seems like a good excuse that might mean I can tell my cult that I cannot"
Cluck cluck cluck!
Cowards never testify.
Why aren't these Women being Charged with Extortion?
THAT IS A LIE!
trumps not testifying , surprise ,surprise
The coward
trump also said he would take the stand and tell the truth but when both sides rest trump refused to take the stand...trump lied again.Does that surprise anyone?
The gag order prevents him from testifying. 😆😆
Only his league of goobers believe that weak bs
Whether Trump testifies or not, whatever conclusion this trial reaches his maga is simply just going to forgive him just to spite the other side.
So, it won't matter much.
If he is imprisoned due to a guilty verdict, it might. Anything short and America is back to square one.
But then there’s that April 10, 2024 Reuters-Ipsos poll found that a quarter of Republican respondents said they would not vote for Trump if he were convicted of a felony crime by a jury
Reporters should ask him every day if he's willing to take a lie detector test
Define ironic statement for affect effects. Otay. Nahhh
He would commit perjury within 2 minutes. He's too stupid not to.
He both wants to portray himself as a victim, and weasel his way out of having to take the stand, knowing his compulsive lying is going to cause him to commit perjury.
...and the fool wants to be president!
And Trump's nodding like a bobble head bulldog. Another yes man.
We know he cant debate. He cant think straight and has no plans for improving the coubtry. He just knows how to destroy it.
So Tired of this. There are more IMPORTANT Issues going on right now. Not going to be bothered with this anymore. Moving on.
I knew he’d make up some bs excuse not to testify as he endlessly promised to. In past cases he’s made at least 10 promises to testify, and never did. Pathological lier.
First he said he will testify..now he won't...that's nothing but guilt
Trump big mouth 👄 no action just like the kid on the playground starts trouble then runs away sounds like January 6 doesn't it USA 🇺🇸
And you believed him in the first place?
He is scared to testify because he knows is guilty but now we know Trump is at chicken
Donald this is your perfect chance to show the whole world your totally perfect stable genius mind‼️. NO ONE CAN TESTIFY LIKE YOU ‼️ TESTIFY‼️ TESTIFY‼️ TESTIFY‼️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Big surprise…..
🇺🇲🦅💙 Re-elect President Joe Biden 2024 🗽⚖️💙🇺🇲 🔊 Remember 01-06-21 and Roe v Wade in November 2024 Voting BLUE Voting BIDEN 🇺🇲
Showing your hatred for America and innocent unborn children. Not something to be proud of. RFK Jr for president Biden is a disaster, no one wants a president Harris.
Dude can you imagine his condition in 2028 ?
HE IS OLD AF
trump telling a truth? 😂
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For all of the MAGA minions that took him serious, 'Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results'.
Well well knew he would testify what aload of bs trump
😂😂😂😂 of course he’s NOT going to testify 😂😂😂😂 He’s so stupid to say he’s NOT ALLOWED to testify!! Of course he could… 🤦♀️
When you take the stand, it’s supposed to be NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, and I think he’s incapable of telling the truth, even remotely.
Trump thinks his followers are stupid enough to think that he can't testify because of the gag order... He's right. (pun intended)
ABC you have lost all credibility
OH GUESS WHAT NO CHARGES
I guess you just aren’t paying attention, so let me recap for you:
The CHARGES are Falsifying Business records in conjunction with Election Interference
You’re welcome!
Non Disclosure Agreements would be the correct context and not Hush Money which is still happening everyday in America
No hush money is the proper term.
Dude, not what what the charges are
Breach of illegal contract?
This whole trial was mis-named right out of the gate. The actual crime is *ELECTION INTERFERENCE* ! The burying of the stories, both orally, and in print, were merely the means to an end... hiding the truth from the voters. *_BLUE TSUNAMI'S COMIN'!!_* 🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙
Not paying attention huh? The charges are “Falsifying Business Records” and “Election Interference”
