As many observers noted today, the only way Trump could assert the "bravado" defense to the tape in his coming trial would be to take the stand. No lawyer with an active brain cell would ever allow him on the stand, as he has been torn apart by the other side every time he does, and also asserts his own failures (best current example is the tape of him used in the E. Jean Carroll case, where he was the best witness against himself). And since he cannot take the stand to assert the "bravado" defense, it's just more Trump bullshit.

If it was pay-per-view of Mar-a-Lardo Fats on the stand and the funds raised went to the national debt--I do believe we could wipe out the deficit. Damn I'd pay to watch that--and invite my friends on limited income to come over and watch on my big screen.

Could his lawyer(s) say that he is a consummate liar, first for everything?

"Consummate" lire means he's good at it. As we all know, his lying is as obvious as the morning sun.
