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!!!
- I can't believe the US voted this complete idiot in as president. Just wow.
  
  Every time I flew back into the country and saw his stupid picture in the airport it made me cringe and say “oh fuck, that’s right, somehow Biff Tannen, from Back To The Future 2, is our President”
  
  And they're on track to do it again.
  
  I live in New York City. Donnie was desperate to get famous since the 1980s. Back in the day, Wife #1, Ivana, was the star of the show and Donnie was the guy who carried her bags. He did everything to get his name in the local news every day, and was considered a joke by just about everyone. He lost his home town by 90% of the vote.
  
  To be fair, he lost the popular vote twice. It was only because of the electoral college he won. The people of the USA did not, as a majority, vote for him. The people who are supposed to represent our votes voted for him.
  
  He's the embodiment of the American stereotype if you ask me. It makes complete sense.
  
  And they are lining up to do it again. It's absolutely baffling to me but at least it's gotten a lot easier to identify idiots from a distance.
- Thank you for your sacrifice.
- This reads like a Chinese Amazon listing where they just fire off dozens of loosely related words and key phrases to increase traffic.
- 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.
- This is seriously unhinged.
  
  This was already stated by the first word of the title of this post.
- He is such a moron...
- God, I can't even force myself to read his word shit salads anymore. I guess that means I'm sane.

And all of his supporters will gobble it up, feasting at the bullshit buffet with smiles on their shit-smeared mouths.
- Reality doesn’t matter. Everyone still gets a vote.
  
  Oooo beauuuutiful for spaaaacious skiiieeess....
  
  Yeah.
  
  And some people's vote for president is worth more than others.
- Ha ha, but you have to smell it! Checkmate lib!
  Coprophagia intensifies.

dementia is a bitch

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.

Admitting he can't testify under oath without attacking people he's blocked from attacking?
- It's the court's staffs fault he was manipulating the value of his properties
- It's a perjury trap!

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."

Apparently my current VPN server is blocked from truth social. I am totally ok with this.
- Same. How will we ever get by without access to Trump's shitty non-federated mastodon server full of white supremacists?!
  
  If only we could permanently trap and isolate them in there.
