Trump hinted today that the gag order will keep him from testifying.
That is, of course, not true. But it shows him exploring ways to save face.
He will not testify. He has no obligation to. And there is no way he will subject himself to cross examination.
But he has to not look like he's backing down. A pretty obvious evasion (and one I still expect) is for him to say that he wanted to testify but his lawyers would not let him. (That would be a lie. The decision to testify or not belongs to the client not the lawyer). I can see why he's also workshopping the gag order fake excuse. It fits into the persecution myth he's selling to his acolytes.
