Honestly, seeing Trump gear up to testify in his New York hush money trial is both astonishing and slightly terrifying. It's like, for once, he's willing to confront his actions head-on, but you've got to wonder about the circus this trial could turn into with him on the stand. It's kind of a bold move, considering how these legal battles tend to go, but it also feels like a desperate attempt to control the narrative.
