I would be committing a crime because I am not a lawyer.

But seriously, my defense would be as follows:

You have all seen what Trump has said, and done, for the past 2 years most intensively, but for his entire life.

Quite frankly members of the jury, my client is an idiot, has always been an idiot, and is incapable of behaving as anything other than the idiot he truly is.

As to your lawyer talk about mens rea, get rea(l), there is no mens.

It's all legal because I'm the President. I won so whatever I did ever is now legal. Still In Wisconsin Dec 2018 #1
