birthday, donald trump s turns 76 years old today. as the world s worst birthday president for a former president, the new york state court system inform former president trump and his son don and his daughter even ankara that they all three must show up and give sworn testimony in a civil case that is being pursued against the trump family business by new york s tierney general, tish james. former president trump and his family had been pushing very hard and to avoid having to personally testify in this case. you might remember when eric trump, the other son, the blond one, was compelled to testify in this same case last fall, that the new york attorney general says that eric trump, in that deposition, pled the fifth. he invoked his fifth amendment rights against self incrimination more than 500 times in response to more than 500 different questions. he took the fifth. so, yeah, as of today, per the new york state courts, the eldest trump sun, not the blond
