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.
“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.”
“Objection, your honor, assumes facts not in evidence existence. Counterpoint: Trump Hotels and Casinos, Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Charitable Foundation, Trump Vitamins, Scottish golf courses hemorrhaging money and the Springfield monorail.”
So the Deep State is forcing Trump to hire incompetent and corrupt lawyers. And Mr. I-only-hire-the-best-people can’t see that or do anything about it? Sounds like he’s a loser.
I imagine DA Alvin Bragg is going to leverage him by either making an example of him to other potential defendants or get him to testify against Trump.
You need more evidence? They offered lunch to Ms Kaplan:
Kaplan said she told him that his attorneys had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch — a common civil practice between opposing legal teams.
“At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan shared, adding that Trump specifically yelled at his lawyer Alina Habba for providing them lunch.
“He really yelled at Alina for that. He was so mad at Alina,” she said.
Oh, I don’t believe for a second Trump shouted at Habba. I have on good authority, Habba herself, that she does not tolerate people shouting at her or treating her rudely.
Habba: ‘Objection your ‘’‘honor’’‘! Heresy! Trump: {whispers to Habba} ‘Wrong word.’ Habba: Oh right… ‘Objection your ‘’‘honor’’’! Hair Spray! Trump: Fuckin’ Deep State lawyers…
