Donald Trump is now claiming he wanted to testify Monday in his New York civil fraud trial but couldn’t because of a gag order in place.However, the gag order only bars him from disparaging the court staff.

    I followed the link to ShitSocial so you didn’t have to:

    I wanted to testify on Monday, despite the fact that I already testified successfully, answering all questions having to do with the Fake, No Victims, No Jury lawsuit, thrown at me by the Corrupt Racist A.G., Letitia James, and presided over by a Trump hating judge who suffers from a massive case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and is a puppet for the CROOKED A.G. Anyway, the Judge, Arthur Engoron, put a GAG ORDER on me, even when I testify, totally taking away my constitutional right to defend myself. We are appealing, but how would you like to be a witness and not be allowed free snd honest speech. THE TRIAL IS RIGGED. I DID NOTHING WRONG!!!

      • Fake - I’m pretty sure it’s quite real.
      • No Victims - “Your honor, I didn’t successfully rob the bank, so there were no victims!”
      • No Jury - Bro, you opted not to have a jury trial.
      • Gag order…taking away my right to defend myself - Your defense of the facts requires that you attack the judge and his staff?
      • I did nothing wrong! - That’s for a court to decide. Also, you broke your golden rule: never do yourself what you can order someone else to do. Mob Boss 101.

      Thank you for your sacrifice, btw.

        He’s the embodiment of the American stereotype if you ask me. It makes complete sense.

          The American stereotype? Definitely an American stereotype (monopoly guy shithead), but there’s also broke ass honky, California dude, and cowboy goat fuckers.

          It’s a big place.

            It’s a big place and yet the loud, fat American with more money than braincells is indeed the stereotype lol.

    I’d love to see the judge call his bluff. “Oh, Mr. Trump, I see you posted to social media that you wanted to testify. I’m sure the prosecution is prepared to question you, so you can take the stand right now, unless your council objects.”

    He probably got a gag order from his lawyers so he does not open his mouth while standing nose-deep in the shit.

    And all of his supporters will gobble it up, feasting at the bullshit buffet with smiles on their shit-smeared mouths.

    Anyone with half a brain cell knew the moment it was announced Sunday that he would no longer be testifying that he’d be on Truth Social claiming he wanted to testify by Tuesday. He’s as predictable as he is orange.

      Same. How will we ever get by without access to Trump’s shitty non-federated mastodon server full of white supremacists?!
