“Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT,” Trump wrote

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced on social media he’s searching for a new law firm to represent him in an appeal against last week’s jury verdict awarding $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll.

He left a message to prospective hires in the Truth Social post, writing: “Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT.” The former president’s announcement follows his vow to appeal the jury’s decision last Friday, predicated by the presiding federal judge’s September ruling finding him liable for defamation.

    Likewise, but don’t get complacent. The threat isn’t over yet.

      Agreed, 100%. Why it’s still real and immediate, feels like there is some hope. We gotta work for it though.

        It just has to get through the Supreme Court, not overturning a fundamental building block of the entire US justice system. Or more likely, stating that the reward “was too much.”

        And 3 of them seem to be on his side hell or high water; with a fourth being apparently really quite cheap to buy the loyalty of.
