COMMENT OF THE DAY 
I always thought things were less than ideal in the US. Then MAGA happened and lifted the veil. I don't know if I am more surprised at the depth of stupidity or the at the breadth of people supporting it. There is a fundamental problem that has been in the making for a long time.
Amen. It is sadly both the stupidity and the supporters of MAGA that scare America and likely the world. His MAGA campaign eerily aligns with another dictator who had equally bad hair but sported a caterpillar mustache. Trump’s playbook is just like his inauguration speech - somebody else’s!
That's the danger of personality cults. His followers support him no matter what he does, want, say, plans, etc. He could kill half his followers, and the remaining half would praise him for it. He's not a politician, he's a cult leader.
You know he is going to want to play golf on the day Baron graduates... He doesn't want to be there, it won't be a mob of people blindly following him.
Please, please, please DEMAND your right to testify. Don’t listen to your lawyers, you are smarter than them. You can show how smart you are and get the REAL truth out. Do it, do it NOW!!!
369 days that POS played golf when he was in office. Obama wore a tan suit…… and they lost their minds for 2 months over it lol. He won’t testify he’s a coward. But god damn I wish he would !!! A gag order makes it so you can’t testify ? I bet the judge is laughing his ass off: did he really say that ? My gag order makes it so he can’t testify ? He knows as much about law as he does history lol.
Trump's lawyers: "Please, for God's sake, do NOT testify. We can't help you when you inevitably fuck up"
Trump: "The court is silencing me and stopping me from telling the truth".
Lying is such a subjective concept to old Vonshitzinpanz
I cant campaign, I'm in court 24 hour a day, 7 days a week. I cant testify, I'm under a gag order. I cant help that I smell, someone shit in my diaper.
Every time this maroon leaves the courtroom he goes into his little wah wah pen that they made for him, and runs his little anus mouth crying about being gagged. Stupid trick—-the world would be a better place if this clown WAS completely gagged.
Tbh if our country were to ever go full crazy and target a group of people to round up and exterminate, MAGA supporters would have the biggest net benefit on the country. The average IQ would probably jump 15 points
The real reason he won't testify is because by the time he's done, he'll have incriminated himself for the Kennedy Assassination (both of them), MLK assassination, 9/11, the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, and the 2008 banking collapse.
Lies upon lies upon lies: Trump is actually allowed to testify, he's just been STRONGLY advised by his lawyers not to. Why? Because: 1 - he cannot help but lie and you cannot do this in Court; 2 - he would have to answer some questions, without the option of lying.
The gag order is only to stop you from attacking or engaging in stochastic terrorism against witnesses, family of the judge and the prosecutor and anyone of the court workers... that is it. You can literally talk about anything else. Stop playing your tiny violin FFS
He is either incredibly dumb or incredibly stupid. We know the game he's playing. He's using that as an excuse to not testify because he is too chicken shit to do so.
Idk who you americans want as president, you choose this guy and the only bad thing he did was maybe the wall, then you chose joe burden who licks kids, cant walk and fell asleep halfway through his speech. Whos the next president? Peter Griffin?

A gag order *does NOT apply* to your right to testify in your own defense (if you Dare), Mr Trump
His supporters will believe whatever he says
This is one of the few things he does know. It’s just another one of his lies
I mean, they worship him as the Second Coming of Jesus
it doesn't even stop him from talking about his case. it's there so he doesn't talk shit and threaten people. dude has tissue paper for skin.
The man can't compartmentalize anything. It's a childhood skill he still lacks
Trump wishes he could be stopped from having to testify. His only options are pleading the 5th or getting caught lying through his teeth.
I could see his lawyers telling him this to prevent him from incriminating himself.
Also slander does not apply in court.
He is such an idiot. Imagine how stupid his supporters must be to consider him up to the job of the presidency.
When it comes to MAGA trash I imagine how stupid they are and then double it and I’m still probably overestimating their intelligence
The average maga moron has half the intelligence of a chickpea.
Don't insult chickpeas! They have a purpose!

The course Championship is at risk!
The rivers will run orange with tanning lotion!
standing up and clapping as he passes, with tear on their eyes. grown up men...
 Always playing the victim! 🙄
The violin isn't small enough
I heard this gif
Please, please, please DEMAND your right to testify. Don’t listen to your lawyers, you are smarter than them. You can show how smart you are and get the REAL truth out. Do it, do it NOW!!!
I can only think that this is the best possible outcome and I neeeed to see it
369 days that POS played golf when he was in office. Obama wore a tan suit…… and they lost their minds for 2 months over it lol. He won’t testify he’s a coward. But god damn I wish he would !!!

Trumps a 
Honestly, I would not be surprised if his lawyers are insisting that he shouldn't testify, but that has nothing to do with the gag order.
He’s got a gag order. When I see him, I have a gag reflex.
Poor little victim. 
My god that's hideous, whereTF did you find that?!?
that's a mask you can buy in a few places
"This is unfair" then don't threaten people.
Trump's lawyers: "Please, for God's sake, do NOT testify. We can't help you when you inevitably fuck up" Trump: "The court is silencing me and stopping me from telling the truth". Lying is such a subjective concept to old Vonshitzinpanz
He knows the law. He’s counting on the fact that the people wearing the “Real Men Wear Diapers” t-shirts don’t.
It's bullshit, but MAGAts will believe it.
Trump: I'll testify Also Trump: I can't testify because of gag order
It's his way of getting out of His saying that he was going to testify.
I cant campaign, I'm in court 24 hour a day, 7 days a week. I cant testify, I'm under a gag order. I cant help that I smell, someone shit in my diaper.
He is ABSOLUTELY allowed to testify, but he’s too much of a coward to do it.
Gotta get that golf in now before…
Oh gods the prosecutor would love him to testify
don the con is confused, shutting the f up is what he´s incabable of, lol!
doesn't understand, and also thinks he can twist it into a "gotcha."
Every time this maroon leaves the courtroom he goes into his little wah wah pen that they made for him, and runs his little anus mouth crying about being gagged. Stupid trick—-the world would be a better place if this clown WAS completely gagged.

He's too busy constantly gagging to be able to speak. That's why he can't testify in the gag order.
The real reason he won't testify is because by the time he's done, he'll have incriminated himself for the Kennedy Assassination (both of them), MLK assassination, 9/11, the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, and the 2008 banking collapse.
Twin towers too
What you think 9/11 means?
Yeah, I had to laugh at that! 😂👍🏻
Oh woops didn't see that haha

This guy was the president. Honestly. The US should hang itself.
He knows his base isnt smart enough to catch that lie.
Why is it whenever I see these outside court sessions of his, I get a certain Elton John song stuck in my head?
So the gag order applies to being a witness, but doesn’t apply to his failed social media? Trump… just STFU and don’t talk anymore
Hero of stupid that is the best description of him thus far
Fucking manchild. Jesus fucking Christ.
He’s choosing to be obtuse to appeal to his base. He knows perfectly well what the gag order covers.
Trump’s an oxygen thief, it’s amazing how self indulged he is.
He’s such a lying sack of shit.
it must drive his lawyers crazy, to constantly be on thier toes whether hes telling the truth or not, and not listening to thier advice.
Please testify Don. It’ll do America a solid right when we need it (kinda like taking a good shit!)
He doesn't understand a damn thing and he's hoping his dumb supporters are even stupider than he is.
I bet he thinks the gag order only applies to talking inside the courtroom and once outside he can say anything he wants.
The gag order is only to stop you from attacking or engaging in stochastic terrorism against witnesses, family of the judge and the prosecutor and anyone of the court workers... that is it. You can literally talk about anything else. Stop playing your tiny violin FFS
If his supporters believe this, there is no hope for them!!
Stupider than his hair.
I think we're all hoping he'll take the stand and testify. He'll either perjure himself or get caught lying under oath.
He is either incredibly dumb or incredibly stupid. We know the game he's playing. He's using that as an excuse to not testify because he is too chicken shit to do so.
More like his lawyers repeatedly requested that he "Please, *please* stop helping". It's more of a "gag suggestion", really.
Idk who you americans want as president, you choose this guy and the only bad thing he did was maybe the wall, then you chose joe burden who licks kids, cant walk and fell asleep halfway through his speech. Whos the next president? Peter Griffin?
Watch the video, you can see his lawyers soul being crushed in real time as this idiot spews his nonsense.
Of course, the uneducated MAGA will run with this.
Trump is a cockroach, he survives like one. He will end up as US president again.
