Do you think that Trump should represent himself at his impeachment trial?

He is obviously smarter than every one of the lawyers who used to be on his team and left over his insistence of still using the voter fraud defense, and none of them agree that that is the correct path to take.  If he is smarter than all of them, should he just represent himself?

Update:

He can pay himself a couple hundred million dollars for his legal services.

    Oh, yes I do!

    Understanding his irreverence for rules, Trump will try to filibuster, cause drama, create confusion and end up being censured repeatedly.

      With his Brobdingnagian ego, that could be the comedy of the century.  He likely styles himself as a 21st C. Fuerher.  He may envision his "testimony" as even greater than that made by Hitler in his 1924 trial after the failed "Beer Hall Putsch" of 8 Nov. 1923.  Then, Hitler made many genuine good points before an obsequious court that treated him with great mercy.  Of course, Orange Fraud will never be able to achieve the same effect.  

      Further, he can't hire a "dream team" like that who worked for O.J. Simpson.  No lawyer who has ethics will speak for the serial-lying fat dotard.

     “?“: He got himself some more lawyers.  Anonymous number one: and that is what his lawyers were going to argue. But that’s not good enough for his Royal highness. To answer the question, yes, that would be well worth watching.

    I guess he is going to have to. As far as I know, he has no lawyers at all. I disagree that he is smart, but I agree he should represent himself. THAT should be funny!
