Donald Trump does not like to lose, as his announcement that he is seeing(sic) new attorneys to appeal the $83 million defamation judgment proves.

    I was assured multiple times on Lemmy that Habba wasn’t stupid and that she was doing Trump’s bidding in a crafty way.

    Apparently she’s just stupid.

      Anyone that defends him is stupid. Not only is he guilty as hell he won’t shut the fuck up and follow his councils advise. I mean, a paid gig is a paid gig, when your client actually pays you, but there’s no way you’ll leave his service with a better rep than when you started.

        I mean, you’re guaranteed to end up with a bad rep. Decent chance you’ll end up with a bad RAP.

      Good job or bad, Trump will find a way to not pay you for doing it. Of this, there is no more golden rule.

        I recently heard another one that gave me a chuckle:

        What do you call the lowest of the lowest performing graduate at law school? A lawyer…

        Same goes for this one, and quite possibly scarier:
        What do you call the lowest of the lowest performing graduate at medical school? A doctor…

          And everyone who didn’t pass?

          Chiropractor.

          Fun fact that works for both.

            I like that. I usually hear that setup from anti-dentites.

      I wonder if she’ll be smart enough to sue Trump for her legal fees. I doubt she remembered to ask for payment up front.

      I’m assuming every other lawyer at this point declines on ethical grounds or those that don’t have any scruples say “You have a history of not paying lawyers so I’ll need cash up front to represent you” and Trump keeps on looking. Removing those groups and you get Habba as your lawyer.

      She was still doing his bidding. He bidding was just also stupid, and his narcissism would not let him see that

      I still don’t think she’s dumb. I think she’s trying to get and stay famous and she’s doing a pretty good job so far. She’s not a good attorney, but that doesn’t make her dumb.

          Do you not see how she’s getting press time for these stunts? I think that’s her goal, so she’s doing pretty well

            By that measure, Trump is also smart. Do you really think that’s true?

              I don’t think trump’s goal is fame, so no. I do think Kim kardashian is smart for the same reason though. I’m not saying they’re role models, to be clear.

                Are you fucking kidding me? He was a reality TV star for years. He used to insist he had to be in any movie shot in his properties. He brags about his crowd sizes all the time. He recently said privately he was more popular than Taylor Swift.

                What the hell do you think his goal is?

                  That’s a fair point, but I do still get the vibe that he cares more about money than fame. It just seems like he really wanted to run for president, and was disappointed when he won. He seemed to hate the last seven years and now it seems he’s just trying to stay out of jail and not have to pay a whole bunch of money, so he thinks being president again is the only way to do that.
