The House impeachment managers on Thursday requested Donald Trump testify at his upcoming Senate impeachment trial, in a dramatic move to try to get the former President on the record about his conduct surrounding the January 6 riots at the Capitol.

Of course he won’t testify without a subpoena. He only has what to lose. Whatever he will say will be held against him and he has a zero percent chance of changing any Democrats minds by testifying
What about investigating all the democRATic governors and mayors who encouraged the looters.
Biden is a unifier.
This would be amusing if it weren’t as pathetic as it is.
This sham “impeachment” of President Trump for this sham “insurrection” is bad enough. But it also follows the election being stolen from that same President Trump.
If anyone ever had difficulty understanding how the original Sodomites justified their cruel and immoral laws, this should provide some insight.
I say President Trump SHOULD testify! That would be great! It would be thee most entertaining action the Senate has ever had. He would cut and dice the little democrat pricks when they “angrily” drill him with their “tough investigative” questions. He would turn the entire impeachment sham around and start accusing the lowlife dog democrats on Hunter and the “big guy” Biden. He would tear Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, etc….in the process. He would be able to reveal all their dirty laundry that the NSA has on these filthy reprobates. Oh please change your mind!
