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

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

I like how upon reading the article, we get to find out it was a sticker that was removed from an existing exhibit. The absolute horror. This is literally 1984.

A label is not only a sticker.
It was likely a small plaquard or secured paper.

And you also learn that it was removed "The museum in Washington D.C. made the change as part of a review that it agreed to undertake following White House pressure to remove an art museum director, the Washington Post, which first reported the removal, cited a source as saying."

Sounds like Trump didn't want the exibit to have him in it like that. 

Yes, future exhibit will feature it... Once Trump is not influencing the budget anymore.

Tho they could be waiting to see if Trump gets impeached again, so they only have to update it once.

Yes, I'm sure the museum was directed to specifically remove this horrible sticker, only to say they have an upcoming exhibit that will include all impeachments anyway. Truly, Trump's evil knows no bounds, history will never recover. We must all be sure to remember that time the House passed the "Trump was mean to me :(" resolution two whole times. Our children must remember how much it affected the country.

As another interesting topic, I think we should all remember that time this same museum posted this in their hallway:

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fcr31itzgf3b51.png%3Fwidth%3D799%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Deb91b6651d37687a18d7f7f681359c181c44fee3

Remember the time this museum thought that hard work and being on time was just a thing for white people? Very humorous.

You seem to continue to ignore:

Quote

The museum took down something they stated explicitly was temporary to replace it with an updated exhibit. This is most nothing of nothingburgers. Trump is getting routinely derailed by his literal pedo cult connections and this is what you decide to put in a thread. At this point, what else will the media get your attention with? Maybe they'll dangle some car keys in front of you?

No.
