Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Playfail

Dud, son of Dud.

Why it all sounds so fun over there in Trump legal land (gift link)

"Alan Feuer covers extremism and political violence."

It’s a living, sadly.

“A conflict inside former President Donald J. Trump’s legal team erupted into public view on Saturday as one of his former lawyers went on television to attack one of his current lawyers, who has been the focus of ire from others on the team.”

Haha... She's going for it:

The author and columnist E Jean Carroll will go back to court to demand “very substantial” additional damages from Donald Trump for the disparaging remarks he made about her during a televised CNN town hall just a day after he was found liable in a civil case for sexually assaulting her.

An amended lawsuit seeking an additional $10m in compensatory damages – and more in punitive damages – was filed in Manhattan on Monday by lawyers for Carroll...

Raymond C I wonder if any of these lawyers has been paid yet

If they didn't demand sizeable retainers, then they're even dumber than I thought.

Here's your sizeable retainer

Thank you, you're marvelous.

Trump is now calling DeSantis "Rob" because of a typo in a Daily Mail headline.

By now these lawyers HAVE to be demanding retainers or they don’t deserve their law licenses

Classic alpha dog move from Trump letting the whole world see how he's whining like a little baby to Merrick Garland for mercy. Meanwhile, Michael Beschloss is feeling like a lil mischief maker.

Um just file maybe

love that he included his lawyer's cell #

Hilarity ensues - I wonder how many texts that poor sap received last night

that letter also implies that Hunter Biden is being treated fairly, so...

When I read stuff like that, I am reminded (as though I needed another reminder) just how repugnant Trump's personality is on a basic human level.

some of the replies speculate that this is a desperate last ditch effort to head off the document mishandling indictment that's likely dropping soon

That's no joke. He's likely facing charges under the Espionage Act.

Would love for him to face charges from multiple bolts of lightning

Unfortunately the only justice we'll ever actually see will come when his heart finally gives out on his 187th consecutive fast food meal.

Hopefully that will happen when he’s on the toilet

A la Elvis

Hopefully that will happen when he’s on the toilet

No no, I want to see this onstage at CPAC, I want to see every moment of it

He might be on the toilet at CPAC

And the walls might fall over, like in Jurassic Park.

Trump gets really lucky with opponents sometimes

Not with this one he doesn't:

NEW: Trump's lawyers are warning him to get ready for a *federal* indictment, and soonhttps://t.co/zwxprl6mkj

The article more or less says the lawyers want him to "get ready" because it would be stupid to be caught flat-footed and unprepared when the smart alternative is to prepare for it, even if it doesn't happen. Duh. Of course lawyers would give that advice. It's the right advice.

If by 'get ready' they meant 'prepare an array of personal assaults to lob at any potential judge and/or their family members once the hammer drops', I think he's on the case.

"Get ready" in the sense that "I Gotta Feeling" is a song about getting ready.

sir your only chance of beating this is to bring up Hunter Biden some more

countdown to a string of posts predicting nothing will happen and these warnings to get ready are just a gambit by Trump to get clicks

sir your only chance of beating this is to bring up Hunter Biden some more

John Amann told NBC News he bought $2,200 worth of Trump Bucks and other items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank. So he’s gone on Twitter to warn other Trump supporters not to fall for this scam.

“The buck stops with you”

But on social media and in promotional videos — many featuring faked celebrity endorsements — the sellers have tapped an audience that believes Trump’s ouster was part of a great conspiracy and that by investing in the Trump Rebate Banking System, or TRB for short, Trump will reward their loyalty by making them rich.

Is there a name for when your manufactured alternate reality collides with actual reality?

hilariousness

at the grocery store yesterday there was a copy of the National Enquirer that had "SEX CREEP TRUMP" in big block letters so I guess they've turned on him too

That’s an endorsement

BRB starting a "have you been scammed by a Trump scammer, give me some money and I'll get your money back for you, by the way I am JFK" scam

"Send us $5000 and we will make sure Donald Trump is included in the updated version of 'We Didn't Start the Fire.'"

when jfk jr is revealed as the executioner of the traitor(s) ___ ___ at guantánamo bay, all holders of trump bucks will be made whole

on one hand, I have a family member who used to volunteer in my state's consumer protection bureau and have sympathy for credulous people who get scammed by fly-by-night operators

on the other hand, the Trump faithful have enjoyed being marks for so many years now it's hard to be surprised when they're enthusiastic about promises that have a zero percent chance of panning out. magic beans!

Dud

very dud

Some people say, Dud.
