If he hired a competent lawyer, they wouldn’t let him testify, but we all know how won’t tolerate competence if it means he doesn’t get to do what he wants.

Think about the smell they would have to endure just being in the room…

When Donald Trump is put on trial, the stenographers do not need to comprehend what he’s trying to say as long as they can make out the sounds he is making - and if anything is unclear, he will be asked to repeat it.
I doubt it’ll matter much at his trial, but he is of course free to say whatever he wants before a jury deliberates on their verdict. I’m sure he’ll not give them much to think about.

Right now he is essentially an untouchable king according to the supreme court, so the only way I see him getting tried for anything is if he happens to die while still in office but before he gets the chance to pardon himself, and the trial goes ahead posthumously.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I thought we had been replacing stenographers with audio recordings as we could never get enough stenographers in the first place?

I don’t think audio recording is allowed in every case, but I might be wrong.

I am baffled by his non sensical ramblings and by the love he gets from his followers.
Everything about that guy has been a total mystery to me for 40 ish years…

Same. I watched 5 minutes of the Apprentice and turned it off saying “this is it? People like this guy because he is an ignorant asshole who knows nothing about the jobs he is firing people from?”
