Considering I don't think he has a lawyer (and certainly none actually competent), any defense is likely to be wild.

He's gonna end up with a public defender, isn't he?

No. He should defend himself. After all, he's got the bigliest brain. Big strong men have come up to him, tears in their eyes, saying "Sir, you should totally defend yourself in court!"

That's the thing with Trump, lawyer or not, he is going to say stupid shit.

I was just reading about this. He still has two lawyers.

Trump and his lawyers were looking for lawyers that actually have trial experience with this matter. But they couldn't find any that were willing or able to, they also specifically wanted one that would be able to deal with protected information. But none of the lawyers willing to work with them were able to obtain a security clearance.
