      For the one hour that it takes to provide testimony and cross examination? Yes.

      This is his lawyer’s time, not POTUS’ time

        1 hour of testimony in a simple divorce proceeding for a blue-collar worker is the result of dozens or hundreds of hours of working with the attorney on documentation and preparation. I imagine it would be an order of magnitude more work if it’s the POTUS suing for defamation. It also feeds into the “both sides” narrative to see Biden sitting in a courtroom, same as Trump. It doesn’t matter that Biden’s not the defendant, and it doesn’t matter that it’s a civil matter instead of a criminal one because the footage of Biden in a courtroom is more than enough to sell that story to the sycophants.
