  • Trump’s mother had Dementia at 76, his father at age 78 - Donny turns 78 in June. This explains so much ✌️
  • @jetsrno1
    Please testify, Donnie. I dare you. I double dare you.
  • @kristasee
    Nicole Wallace is a great presenter, so is her panel
  • @mikemichael445
    He should take the stand and prove his innocence via his fascinating repartee..
  • @tejanoj3017
    For someone who enforces NDAs, defendant Trump sure is being a whiny little witch about gag orders. Hilariously pathetic.
  • @PaulaDautremont
    Please let him testify. He would put the final nail in his coffin himself.
  • @MyAjtaylor
    Who else is literally praying he takes the stand? It would be so funny. 😬👍
  • Stop you know he ain't testifying. He's a effing liar and a disgrace
  • @Lauren_1987
    Mr Weissmann's legal expertise is appreciated. Weissman IS one of the best. It's EZ to understand his legal analysis of the facts.
  • @matclairoux
    Seriously USA, the guy who can't testify would be in summit and deal with world leaders? Seriously?
  • @jimkelehan1366
    Come on Donny, get on the witness stand and tell your side. Only you can do it improperly!
  • @ivomusician
    Andrew Weissman = Best Man. Cheers from abroad in Europe /Switzerland! Vote blue,. people!! 💙:thanksdoc:💙
  • @beebee2731
    Please testify. He won't though. He'll dodge the stand like he did his taxes and the draft.
  • @Anonymous-sh9vk
    When has stupidity ever stopped DJT from doing exactly what he wants? He never takes advice, he never thinks about consequences, and he NEVER take responsibility. It'll just be everyone else's fault like usual if he gets up there and torches himself. ( would LOVE to see it but he's a coward.)
  • @HopskotchBunny
    Andrew Weissman and Nicole Wallace are two of my favorites on MSNBC. LOVE ❤️ watching them both.
  • @JustVisiting
    He won’t testify. He’ll perjure himself. He would be fairly easy to bait into telling a lie.
