1. Is TFG complaining that the gag order prevents him from testifying

a tell or projection or displacement or whatever of what actually happened: that his lawyers have told him they don't want him to testify because he cannot control his mouth/answers?

3. He's decided to follow his attorneys' suggestion he keep his mouth shut. After braying about how ...

... he was going to testify, he's just prepping his troops with fake information.

4. But if he starts ranting on the stand, what are the chances he'll violate the gag order??

So of course he lawyers don't want him to testify, but blaming it on the judge scores him more "points."

2. He was rode hard and put up up wet. Looks like Milania made him sleep on his golf cart ...

... he knew about testifying and the gag order. He was just blowing a dog whistle for the basket of deplorables.
