A WIN-WIN SITUATION.
Trump says he will testify at his trial on Monday.

Trump to testify as final defense witness in fraud trial
Former President Donald Trump returned to a New York courtroom Thursday to hear witness testimony in his civil fraud trial. CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett joins “America Decides” to take a look at Trump’s legal troubles and how they impact his 2024 bid.

If he backs out and does not testify, he will look a fool.
If he does testify, he will look a fool on cross-examination.
If he refuses to answer questions on cross-examination, he will look and be a fool.
I cannot wait.

Oh there’s more

His lawyer’s a ass:

Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba claimed Friday that her client would take the stand on Monday in his civil fraud trial, despite the judge’s gag order and discouragement from his legal team, The Hill reports.

Said Habba: “I will say and I still say that having any client get on a stand with a gag order as limited or large as this is a First Amendment violation. And you should not respect the court and give them the opportunity to hear you.”

Ianal and guess what I know.

Gag orders are for statements not made in court
