(3,442 posts)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.

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...

... 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.

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