George Conway turned directly to the camera and addressed Donald Trump about why he will not testify in his election interference trial.

Trump's lawyers indicated they haven't made a decision about his testimony, but as Conway pointed out, he'd be shredded in about 3 minutes because, as one of Trump's prior lawyers pointed out, "he's an effing liar."

Conway also reminded viewers that he doesn't listen to his lawyers, instead making his own poor decisions about how the trial should go, which is why the cross-examination of Stormy Daniels was such a failure.

"If he doesn't testify, it's not going to be because he all of a sudden decided to follow legal advice," Conway asserted. "He's causing his lawyers to do stupid things in court, like the cross-examination of Stormy and the miscues the other day and the cross-examination of Michael Cohen. He doesn't listen to his lawyers."

He added, "If he doesn't testify, it's because he's scared."

This is where it got fun. Conway looked directly in the camera and laid down a gauntlet to Lumpy.

Donald, you are scared.

You like to go out and stand out there in the hallway and say all the things that you say because nobody gets to ask you questions and if they ask you questions, you just turn around and walk away.

You, Donald, I hope you're listening to me, you are a wuss.

You are scared of actually doing what Stormy Daniels had to do and what Michael Cohen had to do and what every other person who's called, you know.

You can't call these people liars, Donald, unless you go on the stand and tell your truth.

Let's hear it.

Let's see how you do.

Are you, are you afraid, Donald?

I think you are.

Bye.

Can you imagine if Trump took the stand? I think his lawyers, even "crying little shit" Todd Blanche, would resign en masse. Would they really have a choice? Because yes, Trump would be shredded by the prosecutors in no time. I'm sure they've gathered plenty of ammo for any cross examination, and Lumpy's tendency to stonewall and just repeat the lie over and over will not save him in this situation.

Donald, I hope you were watching.
