“Saturday Night Live” perfectly captured Trump’s court press conferences and why he hates courts and fears testifying.

“Saturday Night Live” Trump said:
I didn’t like being in court because they said very mean things to me when I was trying to sleep. The bold judge imprisoned me. He gave me a gag order. I said that sounded like a challenge to RuPaul. It has made people close their eyes very much. Unfortunately, at the end of this trial, it looked like I had been given a very harsh sentence and sent to a terrible place that I didn’t want to go to. White House.
I don’t want to go back to the White House, but it seems like people want to send me there. Why? I have no idea. I can’t tell you.For me it’s better not to win and say it’s rigged and then get really rich and raise money
Stop stealing and you’ll never have to be president again. I like that very much.
We should do this. But now my defense in this trial is about to begin on Monday. Believe me, I’d love to testify. I’m not afraid of testifying at all. I just wouldn’t do it out of fear. ]Look, one of the horrible things they do when you testify is they write it down, and we don’t like that.

Indeed, Trump called the White House a dump during his presidency and avoided living there because he could bill taxpayers unless he was at one of his properties. However, Trump has made it clear that he wants to be president again and wants the power of the presidency.
All in all, “SNL” is a good effort. It shows Trump’s fear of testifying and his true desire to do just one thing: make money for himself.
