In fairness, the question was too vague and could be used against him.
I realise that.
I was mostly fishing for Tom, he always bites.

It must be confusing being in the MAGA Cult. Trump says taking the fifth is "Disgraceful" then does it himself.
The first rule of MAGA Club is Trump is always right (the second rule is...similar).
So you have to believe all the contradictory stuff Trump spouts. It must be exhausting.
It's not exhausting.  Exhausting is justifying it yourself.  But just accepting it without question?  Easiest thing ever.
The conviction will get overturned on appeal.

So if any UK denizens here want to insist on their principles that silence suggests or equates to guilt

"If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"
- Donald J Trump.

"If you are innocent, do not remain silent. You look guilty as hell!"
- Donald J Trump

You probably need to explain this to your cult leader too :)

He actually said that he changed his mind:

ABC News - Trump says he changed his mind about taking the Fifth, which he once said was for 'the mob'

    "I once asked, 'If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?' Now I know the answer to that question. When your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors, and the Fake News Media, you have no choice," he said in his statement.

You also need to look up the definition of cult. You are using that word incorrectly.

So he apologized to everyone who he heckled for taking the 5th right?

By complete coincidence when his crimes finally caught up with him and he started to be investigated himself.

Trump is currently threatening a minimum of 10-20% tariffs on every nation that trades with the US. I think it's ridiculous. We need at least 200% tariffs if we're going to truly and finally leave the rest of the very undeveloped world out in the cold.

Agreed.  Just think how much money the US will make when all those countries pay the high tariff! <-said many Trump supporters

Just think of all the manufacturing we can bring back with all of that sweet tariff money. 🤑

He also pled the 5th on almost every question
He seemed happy enough to answer the question about whether they socialised   :).

^This is another lie from a prominent liar.

^Said liar posts a direct quote from Epstein where he doesn't answer the question, yet said liar claims it is answering the question.
To be honest I am getting pretty bored of this place.
