Trump, after repeatedly and vigorously stating he’d take the stand.. doesn’t take the stand.

It's only fun "defending yourself" when there's no real penalty for lying.

I'd wager that Trump wanted to take the stand, and it took a significant amount of convincing from his lawyers to prevent it.

Trump can't control his lying. He would have multiple counts of perjury.

It’s a doozy of a lead-brained Boomer word salad, that literally makes no sense.

Jack Smith has filed a motion to amend Trump's conditions of release in the classified documents case. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap ... 81.0_1.pdf

Smith doesn't play around.

De Niro outside the courthouse earlier today. Listen and see if you can hear it the way I hear it. I don't think he intended to, but he describes a pattern of behavior in DJT that you can apply to all of his relationships...public, political, and personal. You can take any of his descriptions and apply it out of context to any of those areas of his life. Try it.

Example of one of the patterns that De Niro addressed. Read that in light of Cohen's testimonies about how Trump operated.

The “Taxi Driver” and “The Godfather Part II” movie star described Trump as a threat to the United States, and said that Trump fomented violence and destruction during the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, 2021, by a mob of his supporters.

De Niro said he decided to lend his talents to a Biden-Harris campaign ad “because it shows the violence of Trump.”

“But it’s a coward’s violence,” said De Niro. “You think Trump ever threw a punch himself, or took one? This guy who ran and hid in the White House bunker when there were protesters outside? No way.”

De Niro again. Switch out President for real estate hustler and insert lying his way into the White House pretending to be a spokesman for the country-a spokesperson for himself.

“We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot. A two-bit playboy lying his way into the tabloids, pretending to be a spokesman — a spokesperson for himself,” De Niro said.
