I am not going to watch any of that.
When he was on the NPR news cycle five times a day I started yelling and cursing uncontrollably to the point where I was diving at the radio to turn it off or change the station so that I would not freak the fuck out.
It doesn't matter where Trump is. I don't want to be there. It is a defilement to view him.
I think him in a courtroom will be different, perhaps startlingly so. He won't be able to just say whatever he wants, he'll have to actually try to make a logical coherent case. Which, being impossible for him personally, means that I think we will not hear much from him. His legal team will do most of the talking, if he has any brains at all.
Important caveat. We may hear a lot from him after all!
