“There is a different legal woe for the former president: the New York attorney general’s investigation into his business practices, for which Trump declined to answer questions by pleading the fifth amendment. Trump decided not to talk? Now we know something shady is going on, right? Because when has Donald Trump ever refused to talk. We can’t get the man to stop talking! Donald Trump not talking is like Taylor Swift taking the bus – that’s not a thing! I didn’t even know this guy was capable of not talking.” —Trevor Noah
“There are good reasons to plead the fifth regardless of guilt, although there are some people who truly believe that if you plead the fifth, you are guilty. And one of those people is Donald J Trump. (Noah before a series of clips in which Trump equated pleading the fifth to an admission of guilt.) It’s really amazing how of all of Trump’s enemies, his worst enemy is just him from the past. That guy’s relentless. Present-day Trump is probably like ‘why won’t this guy just shut up, it’s so easy. Just watch – quiet.’” —Trevor Noah
“So when anyone else pleads the fifth, Trump says it proves that they’re a criminal. But now that Trump is in the hot seat, suddenly he sees it a different way. And maybe it’s because his lawyers explained it to him in a way that he could understand – they’re like, ‘see, sir, it’s like signing an NDA, but with yourself.’” —Trevor Noah
