1. Weissman and everyone at MSNBC should be saying the opposite, something like

"only trump can defend himself, a lot of people are saying that he would be great at testifying" and stop with the negativity...inflate his ego, prompt him to testify, we all want to see that...people want a show? then get him on the chair. "Nobody testifies better than trump"...please, please, testify.

2. LOL! Good point!

And we know how it would turn out, he just can't control his mouth - he'd likely take offense, launch into a nonsensical rant and get hauled away in handcuffs...

3. Of course it would be a yuge mistake, exactly why I hope he rises to the bait and testifies ...

... besides, who wouldn't want Mango Jebus to rip one bigly just as he finishes being sworn in.

I think reverse psychology works well with this ass. Keep saying he shouldn't and he will.

4. And we know that if he insists on it, he will - he micromanages his attorneys.

He believes he knows better than they do and he's likely to get his way...
