When It comes to taking the 5th, remember, Trump is a textbook narcissist.

[fightforfreedom]

When questioned by prosecutors trump may not have the ability to control himself. He may find it impossible to take the 5th 500 hundred times like his son. He wants to talk, he wants to fight back, he wants to try and beat everyone.

Trump may see taking the 5th over and over again as weakness. We all know Trump thinks he is smarter than everybody, he is arrogant and has a huge ego. He will believe he can out smart the prosecutors.

If the prosecutors are smart and I'm sure they are. They should attack Trumps ego and the narcissist that lives inside him.

1. This is one of

his biggest flaws, he can't manage to keep his foul mouth shut.
He somehow MUST take every opportunity to tell everyone how great he is.
So yes, you may be right on this one.

[pnwmom]

2. And to a textbook narcissist, he's NEVER LYING.

The truth is whatever the narcissist thinks it is.

[33taw]

3. He'll be like Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men"

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

5. Well put- Nicholson's Colonel Jessup was as arrogant and narcissistic as they come.

And Lt. Caffey saw this and realized he WANTED to speak his mind on the stand. They should do the same to Trump and he would torpedo himself right there in the courtroom in front of everyone.

[fightforfreedom]

6. Exactly.

No self control when their ego is attacked.

[Blue Owl]

4. All puffed up and full of himself...

7. In previous chances of deposition, Trump's lawyers were worried about a perjury trap.

In previous chances of deposition, Trump's lawyers were worried about a perjury trap.

Rightly so.

It is impossible to fall into a perjury trap if you tell the truth.

[Grasswire2]

8. yes, if you watch him with an interviewer such as Jonathan Swan...

...you see that he is sucked into the moment, the questions, and has no filter on his mouth.

That can easily be manipulated.

9. First Question asked of Trump, "Can you please state your name." Attorney shouts, "Objection!"

Then everyone is distracted by the smoldering Bible with Trumps hand print as it bursts into flame.

[ashredux]

10. Can't wait...🍿

[Upthevibe]

11. Kick n/t

[Wounded Bear]

12. "Please state your name for the record"

"I refuse to answer on the 5th Amendment grounds that I might incriminate myself."

Well, the name "Trump" is kind of toxic, don't you think?

[SunSeeker]

18. Trump is not the real family name. It's Drumpf.

Literally every word out of his mouth is a lie.

21. Donald fits the newer name quite well.

One of those words is:

Betrump: To deceive, cheat; to elude, slip from

Appears that the Trump family has a long history of 'screwin' folks.

[Javaman]

13. And you know they will ask him pointed questions

Just to piss him off lol

[bucolic_frolic]

14. That's it exactly. /nt

[Solomon]

15. Nope. Don't fool yourself. Trump will have no problem pleading the 5th, a thousand times.

Which he knows he has to do.

[Orrex]

16. Maybe he'll stroke out on camera while under oath

[dchill]

17. "Trump thinks he is smarter than everybody..."

Despite all evidence to the contrary.

[dflprincess]

19. He'll probably start each response by saying he's taking the 5th

then he'll proceed to ramble on and hang himself.

Later he'll claim nothing he said can be used against him as he "took the 5th". His claim will be rejected by every court he appeals to.

20. TDFG is so self incriminating, it's actually funny as hell to watch !!

what do ya' expect out of self made non-billion king of debt ! a.k.a.- confidence man,flim-flam ,con man,
man never worked a damn day in his life. his day of recognition with the law has arrived No -pity !

[birdographer]

22. I agree

I am not so sure he will be able to resist stating his case about persecution and witch hunts and unfairness and of course how the election was stolen from him. Not so sure he will hide behind the 5th for the whole thing. It's not his nature. But we can see.

[LiberalFighter]

23. Maybe prosecutors snidely say he is weak.

[TheRickles]

24. Tell him he'd get huge, all-time record TV ratings if he testifies, and he'll testify!

[dem4decades]

25. He was very capable not answering questions the last time he was under oath.

Trump knows how to be a good criminal, don’t forget that.

[fightforfreedom]

27. It does not matter this time.

AG James has the evidence. Trump is very brave when he knows he has the upper hand. He does not have the upper hand this time. He is going to choke.

[Totally Tunsie]

26. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth?"

[tblue37]

28. And he loves the sound of his own voice, droning on and on endlessly.
