"Who's" racist? Why, Trump is racist. But not a dyed in the wool racist. He's one of those cowardly opportunistic, low-level, ignorant types. If he can use someone, or people of color at any one time, he isn't racist. But if someone of color opposes him, he reaches for the racism like an asthmatic for an inhaler.

@@mitchhills4747 People care more about the economy than if he testified at his own trial. The polls show it. It's people like you and msnbc trying to make that a bigger deal than it is. At least half the country written this case off as yet another persecutorial attempt conveniently timed after he announced his candidacy that will go nowhere like the russia nonsense, the steele nonsense, the ukranian phonecall nonsense, etc, etc... The policies that are leading to higher grocery bills at one's local dillons has more relevance to people's day to day lives than if he testifies in this weak case that is likely going to end with a not guilty, or hung jury. Not as many people care as much as you think they do.

Anyone who doesn’t testify in their own criminal trial is pretty much admitting that they’re guilty. A sleepy bigmouf dumazzz that continuously says he’s going to testify just to end up not testifying should be found guilty as soon as the defense rests and given an automatic prison sentence.

Or would you rely on somebody else to speak up for you and hope that they say the right thing to save your job?
