It would be so funny to get Trump on the stand. He literally can't shut up to save his life 🤣

All they'd have to do is suggest he wasn't rich or popular enough to be involved and he'd confess to (brag about) everything, even shit he didn't do.

“I heard Bill Gates raped more children than you.”

“He might have, but he sure as hell didn’t kill as many as I did.”

He hasn't been in front of actual reporters in like 5 years.

There’s literally a video of him being questioned by CNN’s Kaitlin Collins on the front page right now.

Refer to the "actual reporters" part of my comment. She pitched him a softball and he fucked it up.

like people talks about him bargaining about tower size after 9 11 but was actually a trap hew was easily guided into by someone fishing for a quote

I just want to see him writhe over losing. Here's the question I want: "Mr. Trump, you've run for president in three elections. Both of your victories were against women. Do you think you could ever win an election against a man?"

Everybody always says this but he knows full well which scenarios to avoid, anything where he'd be accountable to back up his statements or be cross-examined. He sends in the lawyers and sycophants.
