In the little pea-sized nugget of protoplasm that passes for a brain, a lawsuit launched by Trump cannot be “lost” because its intent is to harass and intimidate the victim of the suit and exploit their (usually) limited financial means to defend themselves. If the victim actually stands up to Trump as they sometimes do, and eventually prevails, as they almost always do, then even if he has to pay their legal fees he just considers it the cost of doing business and worthwhile for having made them suffer. The orange America-hating fuckstick is, among his other attributes, the most callow, puerile, vengeful bully I have ever heard about. ---

That’s a nice way to put it. “The former president has denied all wrongdoing and his attorneys have argued that Trump’s alleged inflated valuations were a product of his business skill.” ---

(This was posted on YouTube four weeks ago, so if someone has already posted it here, my apologies.) Fox News invites a psychic to use tarot cards to divine what’s in Trump’s and Biden’s futures.
