No one likes the fifth more than the Don



Asked 100 questions about his infidelity , the weasel pleaded the fifth amendment 97 times.


As part of the couple’s divorce proceedings, Ivana Trump’s lawyers asked him under oath about his dealings with other women and whether he had been faithful to his wife......

So Mr. Don (Duck that issue) pleaded the fifth so as not to incriminate himself.

On Wednesday, Trump likened anyone who takes the Fifth to a criminal. “So there are five of them taking the Fifth Amendment, like you see on the mob, right?” he said at another rally in Iowa, inflating the number by two. “The mob takes the Fifth Amendment. If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

This was precisely the question that Ivana Trump’s lawyer posed to her husband during those depositions 26 years ago, according to Barrett the biographer. The lawyer, Michael Kennedy, also warned Donald Trump that by taking the Fifth so many times, he was giving the court grounds to draw a reasonable “inference” that he had committed adultery.

It's almost as if Trump accuses other people of behavior he finds personally despicable while indulging in that very behavior himself. There's probably a German word like schadensigmund for that, but we surely don't have such a word in English.

I am afraid that is all I can see. It's just like this big anal pore in the middle of his face.
