She gives the impression that she thinks that everyone is a weak, loser sucker. (Except for her god; Trump)

Noem doesn't care. She just, simply, does not care, at all.

IF Trump ever actually does testify under oath (which is HIGHLY unlikely) does anyone genuinely believe that being under oath will make the slightest difference to the truthfulness of anything he says?
