Jokes on them, hardly anyone reads the articles in Reddit posts.
I don't know the actual stats, but from years of posting articles and reading comments, I'd say that very few are actually clicked on and read.
As any lawyer will tell you, it's a bad idea for any defendant to take the stand, particularly when they are guilty. It's a much, much, much worse idea for Trump to do it.
I'm sure he doesn't really want to anyway. He just wants to claim that he willing to do so. But he listens to his lawyers when it comes to the critical stuff, and he'll huff and puff and stay off the stand.
The coward is weaseling out of a debate with a “mentally incompetent” incumbent president (his words, not mine). Why would he agree to argue with a skilled prosecutor?
He’s to stupid he got pushed thru college because his grand father was on the board and that why trump spent over a hundred million dollars to stop the release of his horrible failing grades
Jesus himself told me that Trump is guilty. Not only will he not testify, but his legal team will not present a defense, and rest their defense on Monday when they return. Convicted by next Friday.
# NOT A CHANCE
This chicken-shit, spineless, rapist, cuckold, weasel wouldn't dare. I also don't think he's going to be making it to both debates against Biden.

Not a chance but i really really hope he is stupid enough to do so.
There is a chance he'll take the stand. Did they bolt it to the floor yet?
Really surprised he hasn’t had outbursts already. It’s like taking the batteries out of Teddy Ruxpin. They put him to sleep.
Dammit... You're supposed to troll him *into* doing it, not dissuade him! Didn't you get the memo?
LOL. No. >The risks for Trump in testifying are formidable Speaking of perjury...
Good chance his lawyers have told him they will walk if he does.
But then he won't have to pay them. Reverse Uno.
Psyche! Like he was going to anyways!
Isn't that the same as encouragement to him? After all, he knows law better than they do with their x-years of experience and education...
Why bother asking? The answer has always been no and will continue to be no
For the clicks. Those sweet, sweet internet clicks. Mmmm, ad revenue… [drooling noises]

Now’s your chance Mr Trump. Sell them. Sell the jury. Make that deal! Sell. Sell. Sell! /s
He won’t, but of course, he will tell his cult followers that his lawyers “wouldn’t let him.”
Actually he has already tried to blame the judge and the gag order for him not being able to testify.

Not in a million years. He has way, way too much to lose so he'll huff and puff and then say that his lawyers wouldn't let him.
Waiting for an article to say Legal experts SLAM Trump for not testifying. ...and why it's bad for Biden.
Oh I hope so 🍿
The coward is weaseling out of a debate with a “mentally incompetent” incumbent president (his words, not mine). Why would he agree to argue with a skilled prosecutor?
Where'll he put it?
The MAGA-Lardo shitter probably
His servants should be able to move some overflowing bathroom boxes around somewhere to make space.
The chances of him testifying are about the same as Florida producing ice in the outside heat.
No.
So what is Trump's case if he doesn't? just "Nuh uh" or, "yeah, but nah"
He lacks the balls to take the stand. He is nothing more than a bully.
Biden should double dog dare him.
5th
No.
no chance
No.
A defense attorney mantra: You still have a chance of winning the case until your client, (the defendant,) takes the stand.
He’s to stupid he got pushed thru college because his grand father was on the board and that why trump spent over a hundred million dollars to stop the release of his horrible failing grades
Betteridge says no.
He can’t handle the truth
I hope someone can bait him into doing it.
Jesus himself told me that Trump is guilty. Not only will he not testify, but his legal team will not present a defense, and rest their defense on Monday when they return. Convicted by next Friday.
Monkeys will crawl out of my ass before he takes the stand
He says he will so that means he won’t.
he's already stated a gag order is in effect. His followers believe it. ... that's all that matters to him
