Voluntarily passing up an opportunity to lie, bloviate, ax-grind, spleen-vent and obfuscate before a national audience? To play (paper-thin) ‘tough guy’ before his degenerate maga-head cult crowd?
He already lost. Summary judgement at the outset. At this point, it’s just about how badly he lost. And Engoron does not appear to be a fan of his behavior.
As he already learned in other defamation cases, you don’t have to be under oath to say things that will cost you a lot of money. But when you’re under oath, the potential consequences are larger.

Something’s really off here…
He must be in really deep doo-doo if he actually starts listening to his lawyers.
He may lose a lot of his hotels and maybe even Maralago over this, he’s nervous and going to get even more crazy talking soon.
My bet:
He’ll come out and say that “they won’t even let me take the stand at my own trial, rigged!”
If he loses the trial, he’ll blame the lawyer that didn’t want him to testify, and claim they were part of the deep state.
It’s also extremely disheartening that I had to say, “If he loses” and that I have no faith in our justice system anymore.

My bet is he and his lawyers will find ways to appeal all of his current trials until the day he dies so he will never actually feel any punishment.
I assume that’s actually the plan
Nah, he can do that outside on the courtroom steps without even risking perjury charges.
Testifying is under oath, so bloviating like he does can result in actual consequences.
That’s my guess, anyway.
What, like he gets sent to prison and has to dictate “My Fight” to a fellow prisoner?
He’d constantly be on the phone to news max, Fox, and Oann. No need to bother with an incoherent book.
