His lack of being a politician and ability to stop messing with the system IS gonna be HIS own worst enemy….
And?
He doesn’t understand?
Unlike his brain washed supporters and losing media attention focused on his threats
The judges and prosocutors are NOT taking his shit…
Trump is right that the mainstream media and much of the institutional power in Washington and New York are out to get him. But they hardly need to make any effort, given that the former president is his own worst enemy. Whether cycling through lawyers to the point that he now seems stuck not with the “B Team” but the gang that washed out of the “B Team,” or going on practically daily unhinged rants that surely are not reviewed by anyone, Trump is ever digging himself deeper into a legal hole.
Consider that immediately after losing the first E. Jean Carroll lawsuit, Trump went on CNN and handed Carroll more ammunition for her second lawsuit, or that his own lawyers may have admitted criminal conduct. Prosecutors must be constantly weighing their options on requesting gag orders, given the more Trump and his team talk, the better things are for the prosecution.
Contrary to popular opinion, Trump does not do well under pressure. And the pressure is going to mount exponentially over the next five months. The presidential hopeful has to run the gauntlet of two nasty appetizers in New York before the main felony trials start: a fraud case that could cost Trump $250 million (now underway) and a second suit from Jean Carroll due to start Jan. 15. He is riding a long losing streak in court since November 2020, and given his behavior and his fumbling legal team, it seems a safe bet he will keep on losing.
Mixed in is a pending late October trial and dress-rehearsal with Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro as the first defendants among the 19 charged in Georgia. If Powell and Chesebro get convicted, it’s a good bet that a portion of the remaining 17 will be clamoring for plea deals — deals that will most certainly require testifying against Trump (one guilty plea thus far).
In sum, Trump will likely enter the federal courthouse in March with two civil trial losses under his belt and new witnesses for the Fulton County prosecution prepared to testify. As the screw tightens over the next several months, Trump could be melting down on a daily basis, handing the prosecution more and more evidence. …
Donald Trump & his family have argued all week in his fraud trial that Mar-a-Lago is actually worth a billion dollars, even though its taxable value is listed as $18 million.
So I wrote to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser that it’s time for Trump to pay more in taxes.
